Stevens & Tate Marketing Recognized For Creative Excellence In Consumer Retail Packaging Design, With 2014 International Davey Award
LOMBARD, IL (PRWEB) March 13, 2015 -- Stevens & Tate Marketing was honored for its outstanding work again this past year, receiving an International Davey Award for Creative Design in Packaging and Branding for a Private Label Consumer Goods Product.
The Lombard, Illinois advertising agency was honored with a Silver Davey award for its redesign of packaging for “Living Solutions™”—an owned brand of Walgreen Co. Stevens & Tate has been working with the national drugstore chain (headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois) for over four years to help build their in-store private label brands with a stronger and more cohesive presence.
The Living Solutions brand encompasses thousands of skus within multiple categories such as auto and tool, kitchen and electronics, home accessories, lawn and garden, home goods, and more. While the line had been on Walgreen’s shelves for a few years, the company was looking to refresh the brand with a more modern look and feel that would appeal to a broader consumer base—specifically to make it cleaner, brighter, and more inviting to female consumers.
Stevens & Tate’s updated Living Solutions design has also been recognized through the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) as part of its Idea Supermarket® at the 2014 Store Brands Trade Show. The international trade association represents manufacturers and suppliers of store brand products to supermarkets, drug stores and mass merchandisers. Each year at the annual trade show, the Idea Supermarket® showcases the best and most innovative examples of what supermarkets, hypermarkets and retailers are doing with their own brands. The new Living Solutions packaging was one of the private label programs featured in 2014.
“It is an honor to continue to be recognized for the level of work that we produce for our clients,” said Mark Beebe, Creative Director and Partner at Stevens & Tate Marketing. “Working with companies like Walgreens helps push us creatively and strategically, and the entire team is proud of the work they accomplish,” he continued. “Being able to create award-winning work that also helps influence action on the store shelf and drives sales for the brand—that is the ultimate reward.”
Over the last four years, Stevens & Tate has helped Walgreens with design and production of thousands of skus across multiple owned brands and seasonal items—working with vendors worldwide to manage the efficient execution of the packaging.
