The Strategy

The brand strategy created to introduce this one of a kind product was to develop a familiarity with the consumer through the use of nostalgia. By having an aesthetic that is rooted in the 70’s era while still having an essence of relevant youthfulness, we positioned the brand to be approachable yet still have a high-end cosmetic quality.

The Design

The brand’s identity from logo to packaging is an upbeat, happy vibe inspired by the 70’s. The design on all fronts is balancing a clean and minimalistic aesthetic that with the funky design of the timeless 70’s, by doing so the design is always in a state of juxtaposition and creates intrigue for the viewer.

The Creative Solution*

The balance of familiarity helps the brand be viewed as an already accepted option increasing the market adoption of this new product and brand.

The Results


MOTIF took the brand idea where no other agency had the ability to do and then brought it to life far greater than my expectations.
