Mark Oliver. Inc.: Hellas Farms Greek Pistachios Branding and Packaging

Brand: Hellas Farms

Title: Greek Pistachios Branding and Packaging

Agency: Mark Oliver, Inc.

Agency Website: www.markoliverinc.com

Creative Director: Mark Oliver

Art Director: Patty Devlin-Driskel

Copywriter: Mark Oliver

Photographer: Mark Douglas

Published: September 2015

Short Rationale: "Mark Oliver, Inc. (MOI) was approached by a Greek manufacturer to position, name, brand, and design packaging for their pistachio products. Because the source of the product was Greece, and the intended market would be a store like Whole Foods, MOI positioned the product as a healthy imported Greek food.

The next step was naming. MOI's solution, "Hellas Farms," communicated the brand's origins using the original name English-speaking people used for Greece. Next, they solidified the message with the tagline "The Flavors of Greece," additionally identifying the origin while opening the door to future line extensions.

Using carefully selected iconography, images, colors, and fonts to evoke the Greek origination of the product, MOI created a design for mass-marketing Greek Pistachios which would stand out in the salty snack sector of grocery or at the checkout-stand and appeal to consumers in the 25+ category."

Pearlfisher: Seedlip 'Branding and Packaging'

Brand: Seedlip

Title: Branding and Packaging

Agency: Pearlfisher London

Agency Website: www.pearfisher.com

Founder and chief creative officer: Jonathan Ford

Founder and chief executive officer: Mike Branson

Creative Director: Hamish Campbell

Design Director: Sissy Emmons Hobizal

Marketing Manager: Sarah Codraro

Published: November 2015

Short Rationale: "Pearlfisher has created the brand for the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit, Seedlip.

In a drinks market saturated by sugary soft drinks and a bevy of alcoholic offerings, Seedlip is the first brand of its kind – a sophisticated and craft driven spirit that is also non-alcoholic. Combining six individually distilled barks, spices and citrus peels, Seedlip’s refined and complex blend is poised to disrupt the way consumers think about adult non-alcoholic beverages. Pearlfisher’s challenge was how to communicate Seedlip’s powerful challenger proposition through artfully executed branding.

Drawing on the strategic brand essence, 'the art of nature' Pearlfisher crafted a design language that reimagines the distillation of natural ingredients, informed by distilled herbal remedies of the 17th century. Inspired by botanical illustrations, Pearlfisher Design brought the brand to life through an artful arrangement of Seedlip’s own botanicals, which form a subtle “S”. On closer inspection, this “S’ reveals itself as the profile of the native Red Fox – a creature indigenous to the English countryside – as a nod to the disruptive nature of the spirit and acknowledgement of the power of the ingredients within.

The Seedlip monogram serves as a seal of approval and brand signoff, illustrating the heritage of the distillation process inside the distinctive "S.” A pharmaceutical bottle reinforces the spirit’s medicinal roots, while a copper cap and copper detailing is used to elevate the brand and reference the copper stills used to create it."

RP/NYC: Ciroc 'Ciroc X Packaging'

Brand: Ciroc

Title: Ciroc X Packaging

Agency: RP/NYC

Agency Website: www.raisonpurenyc.com

President and Chief Executive: Laurent Hainaut

Creative Director: JB Hartford

Art Director: Kristin Buchanan

Structure Art Director: William Kang

Account Director: Leigh Von Boetticher

Published: November 2015

Short Rationale: "Ciroc is the world’s first and only vodka made exclusively from French grapes giving the brand a valuable and compelling point of difference. Ciroc X, the 10th Anniversary variant and next evolution of the brand, celebrates the first harvest of the season and speaks to rarity, luxury and aspiration.

With the foundation of the brand story being the exceptionally smooth liquid itself, the result of a unique seven times distillation process, Ciroc X's packaging needed to speak to this ultimate luxury experience and support the brand’s positioning as 'the best of the best'.

RP/NYC was tasked with elevating the grape to hero status while maintaining a consistent feel with existing Cirocvariants - a challenging but ultimately rewarding creative tension.

The design incorporated different materials to draw the consumer in and satisfy their expectations of what the brand ultimately stands for - purity, desire and superior quality.

As a celebration of the first harvest, every element of the packaging works seamlessly to tell the story of the liquid, the grape and the expert distillation process. Continuing focus on the grape equity, the secondary packaging uses a minimal color palette, simple materials and uncluttered design to deliver a rewarding and consistent visual and sensorial experience."
