    Product Branding & Design for Consumer Packaged Goods Firm
    Project Type: Branding
    Review Date: 22 February, 2023
    S² Design Group designed the branding and packaging for a new product from a growing and emerging consumer goods company. Their work involved researching the clients competitors and optimizing branding designs to suit the product. Shelf Life Brands was launching a new baby products brand, and it needed a voice and personality. We also needed help with the aesthetics of the brands packaging and creative assets, which could also be used on the website, social media and for advertising.
