"One Group" to One Brand: Uniting a Food Group Under a Single Masterbrand

A diversified food group had built a portfolio of strong businesses across agriculture, fresh food, branded consumer goods, and restaurants. But as it consolidated under a unifying banner, something was missing. The company had scale and equity—but not yet a unified story, a shared identity, or a clear architecture to hold it all together.

The challenge

A fast-growing, multi-business food group needed to transform its unifying idea from a slogan into a strategy. Without a unified value proposition, consistent brand architecture, and a clear rollout plan, its real strengths in health, sustainability, and innovation risked staying fragmented and invisible externally.

What we did

Acumen delivered an exercise to build the group's cohesive, insight-led masterbrand system. We:

  1. Grounded the work in internal interviews, business assessments, and external market research across every business unit
  2. Defined a unified corporate masterbrand and value proposition through co-creation workshops, anchored on honest nourishment, trust, and responsibility
  3. Refined the brand architecture into a clear, future-ready framework that strengthens both the corporate brand and its business units
  4. Facilitated action planning workshops to embed the masterbrand across marketing, sales, HR, and operations

The impact

The group moved from a fragmented narrative to a single, powerful masterbrand—with a consistent architecture strengthening both the corporate brand and its business units. Teams gained shared priorities, clearer direction, and defined ownership across marketing, sales, HR, and operations, with employees more aligned and proud of the company's story.

In their words

​From strategy to action plan, [the Acumen] team demonstrated a clear understanding of our vision and translated it into a branding identity that truly reflects who weare. You’ve helped us define a brand that we’re proud to stand behind, and the response from both internal teams and stakeholders has been overwhelmingly positive.
