Project Overview
The Arnott’s Group had recently engaged the The Edison Agency to re-imagine their iconic teeVee snacks brand with a contemporary, fun and youthful consumer in mind. Off the back of the success of this relaunch, and the range expansion that came with it, Edison were briefed to create a range of ‘space inspired’ flavours, building on the new pack architecture.

Project Brief
teeVee snacks has been around ever since TV dinners were high fashion and way before Australian television was in colour. It's a brand that's captured Australia’s imagination and creativity ever since the beginning and now we are taking it into the future!
• Introduce a strong space theme to create shelf stand out and a clear point of difference, without compromising on the recently set pack architecture
• Come up with an extensive range of space themed names for each flavour (think lots of puns and alliterations!)
• There was a risk of this falling into a juvenile space, needed to keep the young-adult, Gen-Z audience top of mind throughout process
Project Innovation/Need
teeVee snacks most recently collaborated with Krispy Kreme to create a range of doughnut-inspired biscuits, and now they’re back with a new range, all inspired by space.
The creative process embraced the vibrant, playful, and dynamic personality of the brand with the intent of connecting with the next generation of biscuit lovers. Edison's collaborative approach explored all angles of the space theme (with lots of puns and cheekiness) before 'landing' on an idea (sorry, couldn't help it) that had a clear point of difference from the core range, but not at the expense of compromising the distinct range architecture system. Balancing fun with resonance with a Gen-Z audience without being too kiddy, this range was built for absolute TikTok siliness and the joy of biscuit snacking.
Design Challenge
Following the top ranking success of teeVee snacks Original Glaze ® in the total sweet category, The Edison Agency were given the challenge of creating something playful and new for the range that brought excitement to the category via a ‘space inspired’ flavour theme for a distinctly Gen-Z audience.

- Packaging Design
- Illustration assets
Effectiveness
The new range—available at Coles, and IGA and comes in four fun flavours with each biscuit embossed with space-themed patterns.:
- Cosmic Caramel
- Galactic Grape
- Meteoric Mint
- Celestial Choc
The solution builds on the brands energy and playful confidence through our hero illustrated astronaut, bouncing their way along the band of galactic biscuits on each pack. The "dream big" star filled sky helps elevate the retro brandmark, creating strong shelf presence and brand blocking, making this new range hard to miss and brings a little bit of joy to a complex world!
Graphic Design - Three Dimensional
This award celebrates creative and innovative design in traditional or digital visual representation of ideas and messages used in packaging. Consideration given to: clarity of communication and the matching information style to audience; the approach, including marketing and branding concerns, the dynamics of the retail environment, environmental considerations, and legal requirements; the component parts of packaging graphics such as colour rationalisation, information layout, feel and tone of illustration and photography, and finishes, and how they are used in isolation and in relation to each other; and the relationship to the anatomy of the structural design.
