Product Marketing Review from Andrew Kuhns
We needed packaging design experts who could provide primary display panel concepts that would work for over 2K skus. They took are most common and a few unique PDP layouts and developed a design system that aligned with our brand standards with a modern approach.

Design Services Review from Solyman Najimi
We worked with the folks at SmashBrand in 2025 for logo and artwork updates for our top product. They were able to take an analytical approach and output--through much testing and a thorough revision process--superior graphics and concepts for our product packaging and overall company branding. We have modernized and streamlined our look and feel with the help of SmashBrand. Early feedback has been positive. We hope the long-term impact will be great.

Brand Strategy Review from Rob Johnson
I’ve worked with dozens of design and strategy agencies throughout my career and SmashBrand’s approach is completely unique. They take a quantitative approach to packaging that aligns the most important purchase drivers with the consumer target, and designs around those. They have absolutely transformed our business and are always my first call when I have brand strategy needs.
