Formica Writable Surfaces helped homeowners envision how Formica could be more than just a kitchen countertop.

86-hardstop-6447-58-sarum-duotex-920x600

A product made for the Asian market that needed reformulation and rebranding for the North American Market. This innovative project was not only about bringing a better product to the market, but also to improve the service offering over the competition. Touted as the most successful launch in modern Formica history, the product line was celebrated for hitting the $1MM mark faster than expected and held the company afloat during the rough year of the pandemic.

Curel Itch Defense

This product helped catapult Curel into the top 3 brands recommended by dermatologists. It is still part of the product portfolio almost 20 years after launch, and even has line extensions.

Formica Jonathan Adler Collection

With the intent of attracting attention to Formica, the Jonathan Adler collection was introduced, driving 241,000,000 media impressions in the first couple of months.

Sheer Blonde Colour Correct

Colour Correct Shampoo was refreshed and repackaged to become Colour Correct Treatment. Sold exclusively at Walmart, this made blonde consumers happy, Walmart happy, and bottom line happy with an extra $500k annually in profit.  The product is still sold today, though has morphed again.

Ban Twisted Vanilla

Enhancing the Ban product line with the most desirable fragrance trends.

Curel LifeStages

Research shows that a woman's skin needs change based on her stages of life. The brand introduced a line of lotions formulated for pregnant, aging, and menopausal skin. While the product line is no longer in existence, it is an example of diving deep into consumer needs.

Beach Blonde

Back by popular demand. A strong business case backed by consumer requests led to the re-launch of the Beach Blonde line. While not available in the USA, it's still internationally available.

Curel Hand & Foot Lotion

Extensive qualitative and quantitative research lead to lotion specific for hands and feet. Almost twenty years later, the hand cream is still part of the product portfolio.
