A RELAUNCH THAT TASTES GOOD TO EVERYONE

The new Kikkoman website accompanies the redirection of brand communication. We are moving away from the perception of soy sauce for Asian cuisine towards a crossover cuisine from different countries. With numerous country-specific dishes, the website offers inspiration and a unique cooking experience.

INFORM, INSPIRE, COMMUNICATE

The modern and colorful website is a central digital hub that bundles all topics, is always up to date and serves as a landing page for the social media channels. The first contact with the brand in its digital space should primarily be fun and stimulate the desire for more. Recipes are the ideal tool in this regard to inspire and inform. Feedback tools encourage the Kikkoman community to interact with the brand, while the images and text make the website a real performance tool for further measures.

A DIVERSE RANGE OF INTERNATIONAL RECIPES, CAREFULLY CATEGORIZED

EXPERIENCE COOKING FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE!

An optimized recipe display with a clear UI, user-friendly filters and cook mode provides users with a better cooking experience and also shows new applications for soy sauce.

INDIVIDUALITY WHERE IT MAKES SENSE

After the idea and extensive conception, taste developed the content, tonality and brand guidelines as well as the page layout and UI/UX design to unify the different websites in terms of content, technology and visuals. Mobile First was at the center of the entire objective and was completely aligned with the requirements and needs of the Kikkoman Target Group. The relaunch included changes in information architecture, user-friendliness, brand fit, programming and a high-quality development according to current standards. The credo: maximum flexibility and scalability with the lowest possible maintenance effort!
