A GROWING BRAND
McKillip Seeds is a family-owned agricultural business that has provided seeds and advice to farmers for nearly 90 years. But for most of their history, their branding revolved around the product line they sold, rather than their own name and heritage. With the future in mind, McKillip Seeds wanted to create a more recognizable brand that would better reflect their history and values. We helped them refresh their brand with a new look and messaging focused on the heart of their well-established company.
Discover
At McKillip Seeds, everyone is a part of the family—and that’s what people value most. During interviews, their employees and customers described the company as respectful, honest and thoughtful. Customers also shared their appreciation for the expert advice that comes with the products they get from McKillip Seeds.
Develop
Big helped McKillip Seeds establish a brand of their own. We developed messaging that highlighted their values and captured their voice. A brand mood board led to sharp visuals with a vintage feel to appeal to both the traditional and modern farmer. Our goal was to hint at their professionalism—without losing their family feel. With a fresh logo and messaging, this Indiana-based seed supplier is better positioned to move forward. And their brand finally reflects their reputation for relationships.
Deliver
To bring it all home, Big built a brand video for McKillip Seeds to showcase their rediscovered identity. With this tool, customers can experience a proper introduction to the company in one quick view. We also produced new product packaging, field signs and a brand guide. Now, it’s easier than ever to join the McKillip Seeds family.
The Results:
Through our brand research and development process, we were able to deliver a refreshed brand that leverages a legacy while illuminating core values at the heart of the organization. McKillip Seeds is now ready to honor their past and grow their partnerships well into the future.
