OUR PROCESS

We believe that a client shouldn’t accept a design solution on faith alone. Every design we present is based on strategy. The facts on the ground direct the design process and we go out of our way to demonstrate that in our work. Otherwise, good looks are only skin deep. We aim for creating designs that impacts the bottom line, or it’s just not good enough.

CASE STUDY: OLLI SALUMERIA

Case in point? Olli Salumeria, a Virginia-based salumi maker of slow-cured meat products, came to us after a failed false start with another agency. We began with design immersion, looking at the current deli cases at major retailers, the products that competitors were putting out and what their unique point-of-difference was. Based on that we devised a brand identity system and packaging range that highlighted their distinctive attributes: impeccably high quality ingredients, state-of-the-art production facility both grounded in a deep respect for traditional Italian salumi craftsmanship.

Result?

In less than 6 months, the company broke even.

In just over a year post-launch, their products were sold in over 1000 retail locations nationwide, ousting competitors from their shelf space at stores like Whole Foods and Wegmans. They were also recently selected for the rare distinction of Best New Vendor of the Year at Whole Foods, from among every other food category at this respected retailer.

They are set to grow exponentially over the next year and beyond, greatly outstripping their original growth projections.

Our takeaway from Olli’s success is that good design that is founded in strategic thinking will yield measurable financial results.
