🇺🇸 Happy Birthday, America!!! This 4th of July we’re celebrating with Real American Beer, brought to you by the one and only Hulk Hogan! 💪 Hulk’s on a mission to bring people together, one beer at a time, and what better day to unite over a tasty brew than on Independence Day? Our team didn’t hesitate to jump in the ring to take on the challenge of bringing this brand to life - from packaging to in-store, fleet designs and social toolkits - in time for the all-important summer season. 🍻 Massive congratulations to our team, our clients at The Real American Beer and our colleagues at SGS & Co who all channeled their inner Hulkamaniacs to ensure this iconic brand hit the market in just a couple of months. 👀 Keep an eye out for Hulk Hogan himself, as he tours the U.S. this summer, bringing Real American Beer to a store near you. Cheers to the bars and stripes. Yeah, brother! Terri Francis, Conrad Lisco, Chad Bronstein, Hulk Hogan, Rob McCarthy, Tina DiMarco, Kurt Kretten, Caroline Day, Andrew Heller, Anthony Swaneveld, Scott Park, Robert Di Clemente, John Somerville, Jessica Tobin, Daniel Polsinelli, Chase Priest, Trevor Lo, Ian Matheson, Chad Olson, Ryan MacEachern, Alex Bruner, Jenn P., Dubinia Nieforth, Jamie Ward, Donny Moening #IndependenceDay #RealAmerican #Beer

Advances in AI have born powerful creative tools that are beginning to change the way we design and build brands. Game-changing developments with mind-blowing capabilities are announced (what feels like) every day. Adapt or die, we’re told. It’s no doubt that we’re at a serious inflection point. What we’re seeing is scarily impressive, but AI is no magic bullet. The realities of what AI can deliver and the practicalities of adopting it fall miles short of the hype, particularly in the world of packaging. Meanwhile, an emergent cultural backlash against AI in is gathering momentum. Alarmingly deceptive content is on the rise, signposting towards a global breakdown in trust. What if soon, we can no longer believe our eyes? In this panel discussion at LUXEPACK NYC today, our Global Chief Creative Officer Kurt Kretten looks to unpack what this collision between tech, brands and culture really means for brands. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of Samantha Zellefrow, Design Excellence Leader at Mondelēz International, Lauren Koprowski Bodner, Creative Director Brand Design Strategy at Danone, and Fe Amarante, Founder & Principal at Experimenta, a Co-lab Creative Consultancy, he’ll explore the benefits and drawbacks of adopting AI in creative workflows - and the implications for global FMCG brands. If you're at LUXEPACK today, swing by the conference room at 15:00 to join the conversation. Kurt, Sam, Lauren and Fe will be hanging around before and after the panel to chat... do say hi! #BrandDesign #AI #Creative #LUXEPACK

"I have never tried that before, so I should definitely be able to do that." We're committed to follow this fearless perspective from Pippi Longstocking, kindly shared by Steve Ramus (Perrigo Company plc) during a spirited panel at 🌿 Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC)🌿 Impact 2024. Joining Steve on stage was Michael Wier (CVS Health), Neema Pourian (Marks, part of SGS & Co) and moderator Paul Nowak (GreenBlue Org) who reflected on the power of partnerships in accelerating and enhancing sustainability initiatives. Key takeaways: ✅ Transparency and communication of goals and strategy are crucial ✅ Reframe conversations towards a “how can we” mindset and viewing sustainability as business savvy ✅ Persist by questioning unsubstantiated “no” answers in the quest for elusive breakthroughs ✅ Think conceptually to foster a culture of innovation and sustainable business transformation ✅ Share your sustainability IP for the greater good, bolstering industry wide progress ✅ Harness AI to navigate large data sets and uncover actionable insights ✅ Embrace regulation as an inevitable reality of the future, turning it into empowerment Want to know more? Check out our article that unpacks these key takeaways by clicking the link below. Special thanks to Sustainable Packaging Coalition and CVS for our invite, and the whole panel for a great conversation. 💡What's your take on sustainability in business?
