Overview

In a world where shelf presence can make or break a product, our recent project at Goodboy Agency tackled a thrilling challenge: designing innovative product packaging to capture the discerning eye of Costco, a major player in the retail sector.

Challenge

Our client, grappling with a fiercely competitive market, had previously struggled to make an impact. Their earlier designs failed to spark Costco's interest, and they were facing difficulties in securing orders for their product. Approaching us, albeit with some reluctance, they were in need of a creative turnaround to revive the presence for four of their consumer brands.

Approach

Our strategy at Goodboy Agency was twofold: align closely with Costco's guidelines and stay true to our client’s brand identity. To kick things off, we dove into Costco's packaging requirements, gaining a clear understanding of what makes a product stand out in their space. Our team revisited historical packaging designs, drawing inspiration while aiming to innovate beyond the traditional.

Market research was pivotal. We studied current trends, customer preferences, and the competitive landscape to ensure our designs were not just visually appealing, but also strategically positioned. Collaboration was key; we worked hand-in-hand with our client’s design team, iteratively developing packaging that was both eye-catching and brand-aligned.
