My team and I instantly saw the opportunity for brand growth and the potential for this performance drink to become a category leader. We harnessed and communicated TapouT's ability to deliver hydration, a delicious experience, and enhanced performance without the unhealthy additives found in other brands. As we looked at other products on the market, we wanted the packaging to clearly communicate TapouT's superlative health benefits and the promise of "clean intensity." Packaging design is central to communicating a brand's message and position; it drives consumer purchase decisions and creates a long-term emotional link with the buyer. It's where the rubber meets the road in terms of product sales and brand loyalty. We're pleased to have been selected and trusted by Splash Beverage Group to help enhance their TapouT brand. Now TapouT's packaging and presentation match its game-changing formula and ingredients."
