Package Design

A successful “package” must connect and invite the target consumer to embrace the product, instill great value, rewards and confidence the closer they look. The packages utility, structure and graphic design must all work synergistically to inspire positive emotions and practical solutions that move the consumer from apathy to action.

Synergy, through its integrated research and strategic design process, has achieved great success in developing brand/design refresh solutions as well as establishing long-term, extendable continuity design systems for both regional and major national brands.

Branding

Creating and developing a powerful brand enables you to identify with, capture and retain the interest of your target consumer. It is the foundation to expand into new markets and product categories. Through our integrated research, design and strategic process, we establish a detailed vision, purpose and personality that revitalizes an existing brand or clearly positions a new brand uniquely apart from the competition. In its application, our work at Synergy translates the contagious personality of your product(s) into a compelling, memorable brand that evokes a long-term emotional and rationale attachment with your target consumer.

Event Marketing

Taking your product to the customer, sampling – or as it’s now referred to, “Tryvertising”. For the right type of product, this can be your most powerful marketing tool. Hitting customers in an unexpected, fun environment allowing them to “discover” your product, make it their own and then tell others about it – very powerful.
