Taxi Studio rejuvenates Pakistan’s #1 Recipe Mix Brand

National has been a kitchen staple in Pakistan for over 50 years. Rich in heritage and renowned for its Recipe Mixes, the brand has firmly established itself as a favourite for families across the country. But whilst the quality of National’s Recipe Mixes remained unquestioned, its cultural relevance needed to be addressed. Regional taste preferences meant that its closest competitor had established a real threat at fixture. Still, the biggest challenge was appealing to a target audience whose relationship with the brand was evolving in line with their changing roles within the family home.

Taxi Studio collaborated with National Foods to transform its Recipe Mixes packaging with its first refresh in a decade. The aim? To create an identity as vibrant and diverse as the flavours delivered, providing home cooks with all the inspiration they need to prepare deliciously authentic Pakistani meals.

The ‘National Pride’ packaging identity was designed to depict Pakistan’s rich culture and tradition. The subtle crescent moon of the Pakistan flag houses contemporary dish photography and key ingredients, with the star of the flag inspiring the placement of an accompanying garnish. This idea informed all off-pack communications, from out-of-home campaigns and TVC, to in-store activations and brand ambassador uniforms.

The result?

  • Appetite Appeal +10%
  • Quality Perception +10%
  • Brand Trust +13%
  • Brand Engagement +11%
