A great product deserves packaging that does it justice.
ViCi Protein Balls had something consumers were craving: a quick, clean-label protein snack with no fillers, no fuss, and great flavor. The packaging just wasn`t telling that story clearly enough.
That`s where we came in. Swipe through to see the full transformation. @viciproteinballs #PackageDesign #Packaging #FoodMarketing

The Great Minnesota Get-Together did not disappoint!
Old favorites, a few new finds, and more food and drinks than we probably needed. 🥓
See you next year, Minnesota State Fair! ✌️ #mnstatefair #fairfood #minnesotastatefair @mnstatefair
Happy birthday to our Design/Production Manager, Betsy! 🎉
When she`s not at the office, she`s soaking up everything summer in Minnesota has to offer... State Fair included. 😏
She`s also the first to roll up her sleeves and dig into whatever the team needs, whether that`s a last-minute project or an office organizing job.
We are so lucky to have you, Betsy. Hope your birthday is a great one! 🥒 #MarketingAgency #Birthday #Designer
