Belgian boys

How can we positively

engage with consumers

through food packaging

The Brief

Belgian boys co-founder reached out to me and a few other creatives to come up with a solution in making their packaging stand-out and become impactful. A lot of the time food packaging will have the Branding and name of the item. How can we make packaging become more than just a item on the shelf? The task was to enable their new moustache cookie range to draw attention and become more engaging with their consumers.

The Client

Belgian boys was found by two childhood friends who were grew up enjoying the delicious taste of Belgian/Europpean treats. As they grew up the they moved to New York and struggled to find their native cuisines and so this was when Belgian boys were born.

They give a portion of their profits to charity via their #rockthatstash campaign. Belgian boys ingredients are both non-GMO and Premium, they are also aiming to be 100% sustainable by 2025.

After looking into some ongoing world issues I decided to go down a more positive route. It makes a difference to your life when you're positive and spreading this positivity has a dominoe effect. Having messages like 'Hold your head high' and 'People will throw cookies at you.. collect them and build an empire' might be the encouragement somebody really needed at that present time.

The packaging has a Double entendre, although it is there to encourage, it is not leaving out the fact that you need to buy the moustache cookie so it is selling itself at the same time 'Want a cookie? Celebrate your success with some'

So now I've found a solution in spreading positivity, how can I go that one step forward? Packaging is great, but It would be even greater if it came with something even more engaging.

I decided to add cards that follow up the question/message on the packaging cover, these can be found inside the pouch. The cards allow you to really reflect and pushes postivity to be written on the cards e.g. 'What empire will you build?' allows consumers to atleast think about their long term goals if it's not re-affirming one that they already have.
