How Miracle Whip Rebooted Its Image

If you watch soap operas, you may have noticed that Miracle Whip has redone their image to appeal to a younger audience by shortening their name to "MW" and boldly proclaiming that they're "not for everyone."






How did such a classic, fuddy-duddy brand drastically reimagine their own image and not sound like they're trying way too hard to be hip when they're obviously not? With a little help from their marketing department, of course. To get a little insight into the process, we obtained from the Miracle Whip ad agency Hoppes, Fangor & Dunfella some internal marketing materials that they used for the rebranding. Here is what is known as a "mood board," outlining in clipped out photos what the old Miracle Whip brand represented in consumers' minds, and what the new MW brand could represent moving forward.

Stay tuned for more enlightening mood boards that we get from Hoppes, Fangor & Dunfella that we'll fish from their dumpster out back.
