JKR lands Hovis rebrand
Premier Foods’ ailing bread brand Hovis is looking to claw back market share, with a radical £15m reinvention devi - sed by Jones Knowles Ritchie launching later this summer.
JKR, which last year worked on Hovis variant Seed Sensa - tions, is understood to have been appointed on the strength of this existing relationship.
PF chief executive Robert Schofield is thought to have shown City analysts the design last week, in a bid to boost share price and garner confidence in the relaunch.
The packaging overhaul is thought to involve a rethink of the existing logo and colour palette. The revamp, which includes advertising, is expec - ted to focus the brand on its ‘premium brown’ heritage.
Hovis made a concerted push into the white bread category in 2001, with its ‘beans’ packaging designed by Williams Murray Hamm.
