Packaging that Speaks Volumes: Embracing Brand Culture

During a recent retail excursion, I stumbled upon some packaging that caught my eye. What struck me was how these brands fully embraced their culture without hesitation. There was no trying to be trendy or playing it safe – just a genuine embrace of their unique aesthetic.

As a consumer, this kind of authenticity speaks volumes. In a busy grocery store, where I'm rushing to check off items from my list, I appreciate when a brand's packaging instantly tells me whether it's for me or not.

It's refreshing to see companies confidently owning who they are, without worrying about fitting into the latest trends or pleasing everyone. This kind of boldness not only makes their products stand out on the shelf but also fosters a deeper connection with consumers like myself who value authenticity.

In a world where so many brands are vying for our attention, those that stay true to their roots and boldly express their culture are the ones that truly leave a lasting impression.

So here's to the brands that aren't afraid to be themselves – you've definitely earned my loyalty as a consumer!

Disappearing content? Why bother?
Disappearing content? Why bother?

Back in August 2016, Instagram was a very strong platform for businesses, but there was one trend that its owners noticed: given that the platform is so dependent on visuals, the pressure on users to only post perfect content was very high. This need for the absolutely perfect composition, lighting, etc… make some users less likely to post often, as it was both daunting and time-consuming.

At the same time, SnapChat was the new social media platform du jour, and it’s main differentiator was the ability for users to post content that would disappear after 24 hours. Given that the content wasn’t going to be stuck on one’s feed forever gave people the opportunity to post more spontaneously, and not worry about achieving the perfect photo.
