What JKR Does
Brand Strategy
JKR leads end-to-end brand transformations for organisations navigating major change, aligning strategy, identity, and experience around a single, distinctive idea that drives measurable business impact.
- Brand Purpose & Positioning — Defines why a brand exists and where it stands in culture and category. Examples: RSPCA (repositioned from a traditional charity into a modern, inclusive movement), Impossible (repositioned from a plant-based alternative to a meat brand built to win over meat-eaters), Blood Cancer United (renamed and repositioned from Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, unifying 100+ blood cancer types under one name).
- Brand Architecture & Portfolio Strategy — Structures brand and sub-brand relationships across complex portfolios. Examples: Walmart (end-to-end transformation from positioning through visual identity and digital experience), Yahoo (unified system across all products and features), Paramount (unified a complex brand portfolio into one coherent masterbrand).
- Internal Engagement Strategy — Manages stakeholder alignment and internal adoption so change takes hold from within. Examples: RSPCA (new purpose and positioning built with 140+ stakeholders, then rolled out internally), Mozilla (new brand launched with its internal community and core users ahead of mainstream rollout).
- Campaign & Experience Strategy — Develops the strategic idea behind integrated campaigns. Examples: Stella Artois ("Worth More," reviving its "Reassuringly Expensive" heritage positioning), D&AD ("Drawn to Create," positioning the organisation as a gravitational pull into the creative industry).
Brand Identity
JKR creates the distinctive assets that make brands instantly recognisable, across visual systems, language, motion, packaging, and physical form.
- Visual Identity — Coca-Cola (first-ever global visual identity system, consistent across 200+ markets), KFC ("Bucketverse," a 360° identity built around one iconic asset), Burger King (first complete brand overhaul in 20+ years, built around flame-grilling and real food).
- Brand Voice, Naming & Messaging — Blood Cancer United (new name uniting 100+ cancer types), CenterSquare (name and tone of voice created for a new data centre brand born from a merger), RSPCA (tone of voice rebuilt from "authoritarian" to warm and welcoming).
- Motion Design & Systems — Coca-Cola (one global motion system across 200+ countries), D&AD (360° motion-based campaign identity across social and live events).
- Structural & Spatial Design — Stella Artois (the Stella Chalice glass, Wimbledon White Can activations), KFC (new restaurant environment design), Coca-Cola (Food Fest design and experience).
- UI/UX & Digital Interface Design — RSPCA (new website and digital experience), Tenable ("Control Over Chaos" visual system), The National Lottery (digital-first redesign centred on player control).
Brand Experience
JKR shapes how brands perform across every touchpoint, connecting identity to the people it's built for.
- Brand Experience Strategy — Jack Daniel's (first global experience guidelines protecting 150+ years of legacy), KFC (360° brand experience strategy across formats, hospitality, and omni-channel experience).
- Customer & User Journey — The National Lottery (redesigned digital journeys for players), KFC (360° journey from restaurant to app to packaging, redesigned around the bucket).
- Retail & Activation Design — Budweiser (FIFA World Cup 26 activations across retail and influencer partnerships, contributing to sales of over 1.5 billion beers), Burger King ("The Meltdown," a 500+ store activation), Jack Daniel's (retail system for off-trade and travel retail).
- Service, Hospitality & Interactive Design — KFC ("The Tastemakers" global service and hospitality standards), Walmart Museum (end-to-end museum experience including interactive digital areas).
- Packaging Design — Heinz (global packaging system across 40+ markets), Schweppes (new packaging system drawn from 200+ years of brand archives), Walmart ("Great Value," nearly 10,000 products redesigned).

Signature Case Studies
KFC — Brief: help KFC reinstate its position as category leader. JKR turned KFC's most recognisable asset, the bucket, into a full brand experience and storytelling device, evolving identity, packaging, restaurants and digital, and shifting KFC from QSR (quick service) to QXR (quick experience). Outcome: 279 articles, 3.2 billion impressions, 97% positive sentiment to the brand launch.
Coca-Cola — Brief: make Coca-Cola more Coca-Cola, ensuring greater brand consistency across 200+ markets. JKR built a new system amplifying Coca-Cola's iconic core assets (the red and white palette, the Dynamic Ribbon, the Arden Square, the Spencerian script) across packaging, retail, equipment, and digital. Outcome: 431 articles, 4.82 billion impressions.
Walmart — Brief: modernise Walmart's identity for a digital-first, omnichannel retailer without alienating loyal shoppers or losing recognisable equities. JKR developed new positioning and architecture, redesigned the wordmark and spark icon, introduced a new corporate typeface (Everyday Sans, replacing Bogle), and rebuilt store signage, app, and digital platforms. Outcome: 4.5% comparable sales growth in Q3 FY26, 28% ecommerce growth, named to AdAge's "5 Best Rebrands of 2025," 781 articles, 8.2 billion impressions.
Yahoo — Brief: refresh a 30-year-old legacy internet brand. JKR delivered a revitalised brand experience system across Yahoo's full product range. Outcome: a revamped Yahoo Mail saw a 125% increase in new users connecting Gmail accounts, and Yahoo News mobile traffic rose 10% year-on-year with engagement up over 50%.
D&AD — Brief: create a digital-first campaign identity to drive award submissions. JKR developed the "Drawn to Create" platform around the D&AD Pencil, with a custom typeface (Pencil Gothic) extended into a full festival experience. Outcome: D&AD received a record number of award entrants from a record number of countries, the highest in its 60+ year history.
Tenable — Brief: reposition a cybersecurity company from vulnerability-scanning roots into a modern leader in exposure management for the AI era. JKR built the "Control Over Chaos" platform and an anamorphic cube-based visual language, extended into a full UI overhaul. Outcome: 80% penetration across primary target accounts, 73% across secondary prospects, creative performance outpacing global benchmarks on CTV and OLV, stock at a 52-week high, and Tenable named a leader in Gartner's AI-powered exposure management category.
Blood Cancer United — Brief: give the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a 76-year-old charity with under-5% awareness and a name excluding many blood cancer types, a name and identity people could rally behind. JKR renamed the organisation to Blood Cancer United, designed a blood-drop emblem formed from the "U," and built a unified identity and tone of voice across patient materials, fundraising, and digital. Outcome: double-digit lifts across credibility, likelihood to donate, and value per donation; $4 million in pro-bono incremental media and $31 million in new pro-bono media value.
Stella White Can — Brief: give Stella Artois a way to show up inside Wimbledon's strict all-white, minimal-branding environment. JKR designed the limited-edition White Can and extended it into "Dressed for Centre Court," spanning hospitality, retail, merchandise, and personalisation. Outcome: 13% uplift in ad recall, 7% increase in consideration, 9% rise in favourability, ranking among the top-performing campaigns globally.
Burger King — Brief: help Burger King communicate its "100% real, no artificial ingredients" claims. JKR rebuilt the visual identity around a 1969-inspired logo, a custom typeface (Flame), a new colour palette, and macro food photography, extended through packaging, uniforms, and signage. Outcome: 1.1 billion impressions in the first five days, 66% higher purchase intent versus McDonald's, 39% increase in visitation intent, and a 10% jump in parent company RBI's stock value.
RSPCA — Brief: modernise a 200-year-old charity's identity, unchanged since the 1970s, to reflect a newly defined purpose and broaden appeal beyond a "cold and authoritarian" image. JKR defined a new purpose ("inspire everyone to create a better world for every animal"), designed a flexible logo device (the "octopunct") for rotating animal illustrations across 140+ branches, developed a custom typeface (Wilberforce Sans), and rebuilt the digital identity. Outcome: reversed a 10-year market decline, generated £135.9 million, attracted 246,000 new donors, reduced emergency rescue response times by 54%, and won Gold plus Best of Show: Identity at the 2024 Brand Impact Awards.
