BrandTailors strategic brand consulting and design firm innovates the Romanian FMCG market by creating Rancho, Scandia Foods ready meals brand designed exclusively for men.
Remarkable by means of its addressability, the new brand created by BrandTailors for Scandia Food is a premiere on the Romanian ready meals market. Aiming to innovate this product category, Rancho was created to satisfy mens specific consumer needs - satiety, high meat content, intense and spicy taste from the perspective of both product types and, especially, that of the images attributed to them.

With such clear addressability, Rancho manages to induce a series of strong associations, like the roughness of character, masculinity and a powerful ego, within the target consumers men. By opening up towards a yet unexplored segment of the Romanian food industry, through the creation of Rancho, we managed to trigger the need to differentiate the consumer categories and their specific needs in order to generate new premises for growth in the FMCG categories.

Graphic elements like the hot peppers, used as symbols for bullets, complete the brands distinct, western character, stressing on Ranchos unique masculine traits and reflecting its defining attribute to the consumers the intensity and spiciness of its taste.
