Olymel Unveils New Brand Image
Bob Peters, choosecornwall.ca – Olymel has undertaken a major rebranding, leading to the adoption of a new logo and packaging material.
The move marks another milestone in the company’s evolution, and seeks to highlight the quality of Olymel products, while making the brand more visible, contemporary and attractive.
“In changing our brand image, we wanted to further highlight the quality of our products, already recognized internationally for their excellence,” said Daniel Rivest, Senior Vice-President Sales and Marketing. “It was essential that this new corporate image reflects both our commitment to quality and the new direction we’ve taken, while respecting the essence of what makes us who we are.”
Olymel operates a state-of-the-art food processing facility in the Cornwall Business Park, primarily producing bacon for commercial and consumer markets. You can find available Olymel jobs on the ChooseCornwall.ca Job Board.
A redesigned logo to better meet consumer expectations
In collaboration with creative marketing agency LG2, Olymel anchored the new identity around the iconic red and blue colors, while simplifying and refreshing the logo to reinforce its visual impact. Once the design was finalized, studies confirmed that the logo met both company and brand objectives, with positive feedback from consumers.
“70% of purchasing decisions are confirmed at the point of sale,” said Stéphanie Martin, Senior Consulting Manager, LG2. “For a brand like Olymel, it’s vital that all its expressions capture the attention and generate consumer preference to trigger purchase intent. A striking logo, articulated around the brand’s iconic assets, serves as an anchor point from which all design and brand components are articulated. In this way, enhanced brand recognition will increase the impact and discoverability of tablet products.”
A gradual roll-out
The new identity will be rolled out progressively across all the brand’s physical and digital touchpoints, including packaging, advertising and signage, which will also be updated over the coming year. The goal is to ensure greater brand recognition and foster stronger emotional attachment from consumers.
An evolution reflecting the company’s strategic shift
This change of image is part of a wider process of transformation at Olymel, designed to reflect the company’s evolution and support its growth. By increasing the brand’s visibility, Olymel hopes not only to strengthen its market position, but also to increase sales of its products by improving their perception among consumers.
