About JKR
Jones Knowles Ritchie is one of the most influential branding and packaging shops working today, and you've almost certainly held its work in your hand. Founded in London in 1990, JKR engineered the celebrated Burger King rebrand — the confident, retro-leaning system that ditched the gradients and reminded everyone what a flat, food-forward identity could do — plus high-profile work for Budweiser. Its specialty is the design-led brand system: distinctive, ownable, built to scale across a shelf.
What sets JKR apart is restraint married to boldness — it makes mass-market consumer brands look deliberate rather than loud. Across London, New York and Shanghai it works for companies that understand a brand identity is an asset, not a coat of paint. If your problem is a tired logo and a packaging system that disappears on the shelf, this is a shop that treats that as the serious commercial work it is.
