The Impact

  • Clarity on the role of distinctive assets

  • Encouraging a revolutionary pack change

  • Illustrating potential for growth and risk mitigation

  • All resulting in an award-winning execution (Gold at Transform Awards North America 2022, Silver at International Spirits Challenge)

“I can’t underscore enough how appreciative we are of The Big Picture team for the support getting us to the right decision! That was a dramatic, risky choice for pack design, but the quality of insights made it a much easier call. The feedback has been supported all the way through the market and our consumers!”
