Hellmann’s
Hellmann’s was born in the deli. Originally made fresh in Columbus Circle, New York, it has grown into one of Unilever’s five one-billion-dollar food brands and the original hero of the condiments industry.
The battle of made versus mass-produced has become a deciding factor in what we choose to eat. We designed a brand that reclaims Hellmann’s original “best batch” quality. A brand that stands for natural, deli-born and deliciousness, where customers are welcomed in once more into the hands-on, hearty goodness of the delicatessen. The battle between made and mass-produced may wage on, but Hellmann’s is once more firmly on the side of real food, as the world’s number one mayonnaise.

But Hellmann’s was born in the deli. And so, to reconnect people to its true quality, meant reviving its one-hundred-year-old roots.
Originally made fresh in Columbus Circle, New York, Mrs. Hellmann tied a blue ribbon around the day’s best batch. Needless to say, locals loved it. Hellmann’s mayonnaise earned the top-spot on shopping lists. And the blue ribbon became a shorthand for quality, delicious taste and real ingredients.
Reinstating this iconic blue ribbon to its rightful place at the top of the jar, reclaims Hellmann’s original “best batch” quality. Once more, it stands for natural, deli-born delicious. Crafted and woven throughout the brand expression, it’s the golden thread tying everything together, just as a ribbon should.
