UNDERSTANDING CONTEXT

Jim Geneid is a passionate second generation fresh food merchant with a mission.

Carrying on a family legacy of fifty years in the business, Jim took over an existing fruit and veggies shop at the Westfield East Gardens. He immediately sensed an opportunity to build a brand that is loved by the local community. Jim engaged Bubblefish to help establish himself as the new ‘go to market’ man in town.

ANALYSING ISSUES

  • The store, Urban Farmers Market had the advantage of an open-plan setting at a vantage location within the shopping centre. Jim realised that a simple “Under New Management” sign was not enough signal to let shoppers know that his fresh produce business had made an all fresh start.
  • Legacy store systems and processes that weren’t working needed to be replaced or improved so returning shoppers could see a real difference in the shopping experience.

IDEATING STRATEGIES

  • The store had to assume a distinctive identity and Jim became the voice of the brand narrative. His personality permeated all corners of the shop for a pleasurable customer experience. Custom designed collaterals helped facilitate the shopper journey around the store.
  • The communication platform deploying both product and brand assets had to be scalable and replicable to allow for future expansion of current and future stores.

CRAFTING SOLUTIONS
  • The creative execution adopted a hand-crafted style that linked the Urban Farmers Market brand seamlessly to the farmers and local growers working the land.
  • The messaging articulated Jim's passion to provide affordable fresh produce to everyday Aussies.
  • Recommendations on fit-out harmonised the look & feel across the physical and tactile environments.

PRIMING FOR SUCCESS
