How we're helping to make cannabis smarter.

With the legalization of cannabis, both medicinal and recreational, the industry is literally flying an airplane without a pilot right now. Enter TrueGreen, the world’s first smart packaging technology built for cannabis to help make life easier for every part of the industry. That means brands, dispensaries, regulators and consumers.  

We got involved with TrueGreen by helping them establish a brand that speaks to all of these different constituents. More specifically, we created a Brand Strategy & Positioning, Name, Brand Identity, Content, UX Design, and everything else you see out there

"As a new player in the cannabis technology space, we needed to establish a brand that clearly explains who we are and why cannabis dispensaries, growers, regulators, and consumers should look to us. Canopy was able to uncover key insights that resonate with all our constituents, and ultimately created a brand and marketing assets that are proving to be embraced by the market," says Katherine Lagow, President at TrueGreen.

How we brought out the 'human spirit' in MACK Studios.

When MACK Studios approached us about repositioning their brand to be more relevant to the world today and reflect more of who they are as a company, we took a simple, yet strategic approach to help them reach this goal.

Step 1...

Understand the rich heritage of MACK -- their people and culture. We did this by interviewing their people through an informal process to get to the heart of why they work there, and what makes it such a great company.

Step 2...
Get grounded in the work. Their incredibly impressive portfolio of producing experiences and spaces for the likes of Starbucks, Tesla, Carrier, Chobani, and more, made it easy to understand why they stand apart from others in their space.

Step 3...
Take this information, and create a narrative that can be used both internally and externally. Something that supports their position as a spirited organization that lives and breaths creativity and design. The final positioning, and now tagline, MACK - Designed By Human Spirit.

Step 4...
Bring the new narrative to life in the form of a new brand identity, and website experience.

"Canopy was able to reach into our history, create an open collaborative environment, and allow for our human spirit to drive creativity to move Mack to the next level of our evolution. This has allowed us to focus on our journey as a company with the right message we want the world and our clients to know,” said Jose Colon, President at MACK.

About The Company
Founded in 1965 by Casimir Thomas Maciulewicz (known affectionately as “Chuck Mack”) in Auburn, NY, today, the torch is carried on by his son, Peter, as owner and president. Our mastery is relevant today, with hints of tomorrow. As the world evolves it’s part of the story. The heart and soul of MACK transcends, teaches and leads the way for the next generation and passes the torch that never goes out.

Orgain is fueling life's adventures through design, with some help from us.

Did you know?...
Effective hydration is the top usage and attribute of functional beverages to fight daytime fatigue. Neither did we until we embarked on this great project with the team at Orgain, a nutritional supplement company dedicated to delivering good, clean nutrition with the highest quality ingredients.

"When it came to extending Orgain into the functional hydration space, we were really looking to design a look that reinforced our organic, clean hydration position yet really dial up the vibrancy and taste appeal of the product – to stand out in a very different way. Something to really set us apart in the category versus the other very functional products. Thankfully, not only is the design Launch created modern and beautiful, but it delivers on the product benefits in a way that connects with the consumer. From all the early feedback we’re getting from consumers and retailers, we’re confident it will have a strong impact on the decision-making process and put us in a unique position in the category." said Andrea Theodore, Chief Marketing Officer at Orgain.

"We couldn't be happier with the design Orgain selected. It really separates them from the rest, and we are so proud to see it come to life on shelves and online," said Francesca Allevato, Partner at Launch Innovation.

About The Product
Orgain HydroBoost is certified organic, fruit-based, and features a proprietary blend of minerals, and natural electrolytes, providing fast hydration using cleaner ingredients to satisfy this consumer need.
