I went all the way to Bloody Australia for my packaging. Well, that's not quite true, I would have loved to have gone and hung out with Dan Parritt and his biz partner Kent Stewart in Sydney to discuss in-person, over a few cold ones, how their brand design consultancy Molasses was going to craft the look of Bloody Bens - the ingredient for perfect Bloody Marys. But we had to make do with video calls because you know life sometimes Bloody sucks and you can't get everything you want! I did though end up with a design which every single week people tell me they love. Whether that be for retail, DTC or on-trade. That's Bloody cool! How far are you willing to go to get creative solutions? I knew Molasses were going to do a great job, as they have huge experience working with drinks companies. Therefore I was motivated to make the logistical challenge work. You don't need to go Down Under of course. But you might want to consider breaking out of your immediate circle. Also, it should be noted, I'm not beating up on supporting local biz. I'm a massive fan of that and I'm currently working on a fun little Brighton based project with Mike Pockett of Pockett Marketing. I'm just saying, if you know there's someone out there who's going to deliver for you - go talk to them and see if you can make it happen. Who else has gone further to get what they want for their brand? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retailers, if you'd like a handsome bottle of Bloody Bens Bloody Mary Mix, then we're now on Faire, where you can get 50% off your first order and free shipping.
