Eat the Whole Bag

How we led a unique, guilt-free snack to captivate a national audience while staying true to its roots.

The Challenge

Because consumers are desperate for guilt-free, binge-worthy snacks, SNACKLINS™ was able to generate immense success as a local startup brand. When the national retailers came calling, the SNACKLINS™ team recognized they needed some brand updates to be a player on the big stage.

The Clarity

A product called “vegan pork rinds” would collect dust on the shelf, but “puffed veggie crisps” made consumers crave the whole bag.

The Transformation

Through rigorous testing, the team pivoted to a puffed veggie crisp concept, leading to a comprehensive rebrand. We established brand guidelines that not only protected the essence of SNACKLINS™ but also paved the way for future brand developments.

We redesigned the brand’s packaging with fun, attention-grabbing illustrations that were engaging enough to stand out on shelf and flexible enough to accommodate future flavor additions.

We developed comprehensive guidelines that carried the story forward.

For SNACKLINS™ debut on Shark Tank, we crafted a compelling story for the brand and its unofficial mascot, Jack, an homage to the product creator.

Results and Impact

Our partnership played a pivotal role in the brand’s national expansion. It set the stage for a debut on NBC’s Shark Tank, ultimately securing a substantial investment from Mark Cuban.
