Effective packaging design will stand out on a crowded shelf and in a saturated e-commerce landscape. As with all things design, we understand packaging design is a convergence of seduction and function. As an agency, we are keenly aware of how the digital landscape has altered how people perceive visual information. We approach packaging design as a user interface — where design is quickly visible and highly navigable. A successful user experience for packaging design is highly-impactful yet easily approachable.
Branding is a foundational necessity for brands to survive the visual pollution of the consumer world marked by an over-saturation of brands. Going far beyond trends, our agency considers branding a sharp design exercise of building memorable visual codes that consumers can easily recognize. Successful branding is a game of high visibility, consistent application, and a solid commitment to building recognition over time.
Creating a new-to-world brand is the most exciting venture a creative agency can undertake, but considering today’s oversaturated brand landscape, it is also the most difficult. In business, the word for survival is “differentiation,” but it is a matter of innovation to us. The ultimate creative task is not simply being different from the others but offering something relevant and new. It’s a matter of revelation and invention. Our approach is to embrace the mindset of both the expert and the beginner. Walk the path of everything done so far, then turn your back and look forward to what has yet to be done. Unlocking innovation is the foundational first step toward brand creation; then, it is a matter of cohesive execution. We believe strongly in creating one uniform voice that speaks through all touch-points. A brand with a strong, clear voice speaks to the people and participates in culture.
Product quality credentials are the mere baseline today. Strong visibility and deep emotional appeal are essential. Visibility is all about being seen — standing out with memorability. Emotional appeal is about being in conversation with culture. This is the art of relevancy — all about the people. Without losing the soul, we frame your brand in the context of culture. It’s a balancing act where both sides engage — brand by culture, your values by their values. With this in mind, we approach brand renovation as a tailor-made task where all assets must be analyzed. From brand values to photo treatment, it’s an evolution from the core to the surface that results in visibility and relevancy.
Innovation is the enemy of the specialist. To break the mold, you must think like a child — a beginner with a fresh approach with no preconceived notions of right and wrong. It is about approaching ideas with an energy of naiveté, where possibility trumps impossibility. Innovation says, “Why not?” It can be big or small but has everything to do with disruption. By listening to the world without judgment, we discover new ideas that can disrupt occasion, behavior, and design. There is always a path forward different from the one you are traveling on; innovation is the power to propel you there.
Product Design is the last piece of physical that matters. Product is essential for every brand. Marketing talks, but product touches. This tangible experience is the human experience. Today, less is mandatory, and we consider product design a moment to create something substantial, meaningful, and human-centered. Beyond technical innovation, product design can change habits and create rituals, directing the human interaction story for your brand. Product design is our founding story and the central force behind our agency’s integrated approach: human-centered, brand essential, and a resolution to the demands of the desirable, reliable, and sustainable.
