In detail
In the sheer infinity of a globalized market, products must be one thing above all: unique. How does that work? By questioning conventions every now and then, with the courage to create something new. Normal, after all, can any:r. We provide holistic support in the development of packaging and branding. From product positioning and naming to advantage communication and differentiating design – we want to be bold and actively shape the future.
How does a packaging design become a real eye-catcher? By creating the perfect symbiosis of brand, positioning and product. Only if all these points are on the same level, Customers will understand what the product is about and why they should buy it. In doing so, the design must surprise and animate people to stand out on a crowded shelf or the online store. At the point of sale in particular, brands only have a few seconds to grab the attention of the hurried Customers. But even in digital, you need intense moments of surprise to stand out.
