SPOTLIGHT PROJECT: ARLA 2025

With great change, comes great opportunity.

The Arla Masterbrand and business had to meet the challenges facing the dairy industry head on, evolving to drive continued growth across multiple categories.

THE CHALLENGE

Arla’s portfolio was split into growth territories with execution through specific sub-brands and categories. In the face of headwinds around health, sustainability and changing eating behaviours, there was a need to evolve these into broader, more robust externally-facing spaces that opened up multiple avenues of growth.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Focussing on health, ethics and sustainability, we worked closely with Arla leadership team and partner agencies to understand how to turn these headwinds and challenges into clear opportunity spaces, and then into tangible workstreams, to create a strong brand portfolio fit to win in 2025 & beyond.

THE OUTCOME

The Arla Masterbrand secured considerable investment to pursue this transformation. This commitment has helped shape the direction across leading Arla sub-brands, to propel the company forward.
