Process.

Using consumer insights to design brands and packaging experiences.

SmashBrand combines world-class creative talent with modern consumer testing to develop package designs that don’t just look great—they drive sales. We push creative boundaries while minimizing risk, resulting in branding and packaging that stands out on shelf and drives more trial.

We don’t rely on subjective opinions or play it safe. Instead, we explore a wide range of innovative concepts informed by strategic insights. We then validate these designs through early and frequent testing with real category consumers. This data-driven process enables us to make bold, calculated design choices.

The results are distinctive designs that extend beyond packaging to become ownable brand assets.
