Think outside the sauce

GUJU KITCHEN

Get ready to embrace your saucy side. This woman-owned brand started with a simple mission: to make at-home meal prep easier, bring people together, and infuse delicious Indian flavors into everyday ingredients and dishes in your kitchen.

We helped the Southern California-based start-up turn their dream into a retail ready product with an elegant brand identity and vibrant packaging design that invites anyone to grab a jar and get creative in their kitchen. After all, there's no wrong way to sauce.

We developed the name Guju from Gujarat, India, where the founder started her journey. The key messaging is playful and encourages creativity and cooking, aiming to bring people together through food. It quickly invites consumers to grab a sauce and imagine the possibilities as they are shopping.

Guju's brand identity is colorful and bold allowing the versatility and vibrancy of each sauce inside of a clear jar to shine. The modern aesthetic of the packaging design is rich, vibrant, and saucy. The hand drawn logo and lettering is equal parts sassy and elegant. The bright minimalistic label design delivers a strong shelf blocking impact on any retail shelf.

Saucy Brand Strategy

We art directed and executed the brand's bright and airy lifestyle food photography that balances with colorful and imaginative product photography. Both tell a playful visual story on Guju's website, their social media feed, and in the brand's printed sales collateral.

Grab a sauce on their e-commerce website which we helped launch, or add some tikka masala to your cart on Amazon.com, shipping nationwide.
