Pilgrims Choice is introducing refreshed packaging and branding this month as part of a new strategy to help grow the brand's market share by adapting to consumer behaviors and preferences. The packaging update will feature a color-coded branding to help shoppers easily identify what they're looking for and boasts flavor descriptors along with cheese imagery. These details are hoped to stand out in the grocery store as shoppers seek out a cheese product that suits their preferences.
Brands Director at Ornua Foods UK Kerry Alexander spoke on the new Pilgrims Choice branding saying, "Our striking new pack designs are the first step in a multi-layered strategy to build the Pilgrims Choice market share by challenging market conventions and responding to changing consumer behaviour. At the heart of this is our focus on tapping into the real emotions that consumers experience when eating cheese and owning the key driver, when they come to select what to buy, namely great taste."
