Challenge

Partner with a growing premium food brand to support its next stage of growth.

Founded in 2009, Crosta Mollica was born from founder James Orr’s love of Italy, its people and its food. After more than a decade in market, the brand underwent a transformation to increase recognition at shelf and strengthen its premium position.

As the business continued to grow, so did the scale and pace of its design needs. Crosta Mollica needed a creative partner who could support the day-to-day demands of a fast-moving portfolio, while helping shape the bigger moments that would define the brand’s next chapter.

As the brand continued to grow, our role as trusted creative partner expanded into new territories.

We supported the development of new product lines, including gelato and sweet biscuits, created new visual expressions for the core pizza range through studio photography, and designed a fully branded pizza van — complete with its own wood-fired oven — to take the Crosta Mollica experience on tour.
