DePersico applies its SWIFI assessment to uncover strengths, weaknesses, and improvement ideas across shelf presence, competitor positioning, visual hierarchy, product claims, and shopper perception.

Product Positioning

Clarify what makes your product different, desirable, and easy to understand in the four to six seconds shoppers spend evaluating a shelf or thumbnail.

Naming Linguistics

Create brand names, product names, taglines, package copy, and stories that are relevant, memorable, easy to pronounce, and compelling for buyers and consumers.

Package Design

Transform logos, labels, imagery, claims, and package structure into a strategic selling tool that communicates appetite appeal, quality, value, and brand distinction.

Label Design

Develop front-panel and back-of-pack labels that balance shelf impact with nutrition facts, allergen statements, certification marks, and retailer clean-label expectations.

Launch Materials

Coordinate sell sheets, retailer presentations, sampling collateral, social launch assets, point-of-sale displays, and broker tools into one consistent market-ready brand system.
