You’re a Lush? Funny, us too.
How McGrath and McKenna helped a small-town, craft cocktail mix brand go big.
Design Challenge
The request from Lush was to revamp the entire package from structure to look and feel. They also wanted to elevate the way the package communicated the product’s multiple usages. Lush also wanted the new packaging to focus on the real-food ingredient list that helped make their product unique in a sea of over-sweetened, artificial cocktail mixes.
Solution
McGrath + McKenna’s approach gave Lush a higher-end feel that stands out on the shelf of wineries, boutiques, and breweries, as well as provided an impactful design that shows well in an online retail setting. The brand build out included 10 unique flavors so Mc+Mc used colorful wrap labels using elements to showcase each individual flavor profile. The use of color and arrangement helped keep the family of products relatable. The logo was also refined with a more sophisticated look and the new wrap labels helped to capture the versatility of the product through iconography that better told the product’s story.
IMPACT
Since the brand redesign, Lush Wine Mix can be found at Amazon, Uncommon Goods, and in hundreds of boutiques and wineries all over the U.S. They have also expanded to the wholesale market where businesses and establishments can purchase the product in bulk and sell it to their customers.
