Birds 100 Years & Still Growing
- Initial Observations
– Birds is an established name within the local communities we serve a loyal following of customers but facing competition – Our existing brand was looking tired and aged colourways – Are we a Confectioner or Baker – No defined marketing strategy to combine the use of both online and traditional methods of communication – Outdated information on the website with no product detail and little information – No social media updates and little communication in this area – No design coherence within the shop point of sales and fascia signage – A fleet of bland looking vehicles carrying no message and irregular branding
Birds 100 Years & Still Growing
- The Brand Redevelopment
- Not a complete reinvention but a sympathetic look at our history and
heritage we have developed over 100 years. The aim being to keep our existing customers happy and attempt to attract new customers

what it does –’Birds Bakery’ and ‘Birds Bakery.com’
- Within the initial rollout the Birds name was utilized with birdsbakery.com
to make customers aware of the website and draw them towards the information
- Adopting the simple square birds bakery logo on our packaging point of
sale web page and social media
