Mudgee Meat started as a local farm. Over time it became a national distributor, but the brand still looked like the farm gate.

The business needed a brand that showed what it had become, without losing the farm story customers loved.

The short version

NOIZE rebuilt the Mudgee Meat brand to match the business it had grown into: a national meat distributor with a farm at its heart. We kept the farm story front and centre, and built an identity, packaging, print and a website that work for both local shoppers and national trade buyers.

The brief

The old brand belonged to a small local business. Trade buyers and new customers in other states had no reason to see Mudgee Meat as a serious national supplier.

At the same time, the farm was the reason people chose it. The new brand had to keep that origin visible, not hide it behind a corporate look.

The approach

01Keep the farm in the story

Where the meat comes from is the main reason to buy. The strategy kept the farm at the centre of every message, summed up in the line "Bringing the farm to your fork".

02Build for national trade

Distributors and retailers expect a supplier to look consistent and reliable. The identity had to hold up on a trade document as well as it does on a shop counter.

03One system, many uses

The brand had to work on wrapping paper, packaging tape, gift boxes, banners, social media and the website. So we built one flexible system, not a single fixed layout.

What we built

01A new identity

A bold blue identity with a hand-drawn script wordmark, illustrated icons and a full brand kit for the team and suppliers.

02Packaging and retail print

Branded wrapping paper, packaging tape, gift boxes, tip cards and pull-up banners, all produced by NOIZE Print. Meat usually comes unbranded. The wrapping paper turns every purchase into something worth sharing.

03Social media and campaigns

A set of social templates and campaign artwork that carries the farm story into everyday posts.

04A new website

A new website that tells the farm story and supports the move into national distribution.
