A Four Course Package
Consumers are flooded with choices daily. Food brands and products consistently emerge to create multiple options for all types and varieties. That doesn't mean you build your brand for mass appeal—it means you focus on your product's authentic story to inform your brand and build the rest—like packaging—around that.
Avoid the rising tides and ride the wave by hopping into our well-built branding & packaging raft.
We chose the strongest base for our raft — branding.
We believe that effective branding happens when you combine strategy with expertise to achieve specific goals. Branding begins by looking inward to ultimately connect with the outside world. It considers existing perspectives; market analysis; and what target audiences think, feel, and want. It's informed by relevant research. It utilizes colour, typography, design, and messaging to tell the world who you are—and why you're better than the competition. It is an investment whose value is defined by the objectives met.

Time to create the sail — packaging.
In 1999, a business historian completed a research report. He discovered that as early as the 1930s, packaging occupied a unique position in the decision-making process of consumption. A product's success or failure was directly related to the efforts of the company to create, package, advertise, and distribute. Packaging was the "silent salesman” because design and aesthetics evoked emotion. While a lot has changed since the 1930s, the need to express brand values and persona, and create an appeal through packaging, remains paramount.
