Challenge

Olli Salumeria, a fourth-generation, premium Italian salami brand known for authentic flavors and quality, had been around for more than 10 years, and was well respected within the category; but, consumer awareness, and thus purchase preference amongst Americans was low.

The brand was gaining distribution among retail customers nationally, but needed a north-star brand strategy and unified voice to drive the business forward.

Strategic Solution

E29 developed the Olli brand, including:

  • The brand architecture with strategic pillars containing the brand promise, taglines, benefits language, and calls to action
  • Imagery and designs including logo, brand color, fonts, and icons usage
  • A photography style guide for both products and lifestyle moments
  • An integrated marketing plan was also developed and executed in order to strategically serve the campaign up through a mix of targeted media vehicles that would reach consumers along their entire path to purchase.

Brand Promise

Savor what’s real. Savor what’s special. Savor what matters.

For Olli Salumeria, it starts with real flavors. Authentic fourth-generation Italian recipes crafted from the purest ingredients: 100% vegetarian-fed pork, no antibiotics, and no added nitrates. Ever. The results are mouth-watering meats worth slowing down to appreciate and share. And Olli serves up these traditional, time-honored flavors with ease and convenience, so you can enjoy more of the moments with those you love.

Enjoying life means slowing down to savor real flavors and moments,
each extraordinarily delicious with Olli.
