How Covid is changing consumer behaviour and impacting brands

What the heck is going on?
It’s been a funny old year and now it’s the start of a funny old second year. The packaging industry has faced new challenges with increased online portals, home deliveries and - perhaps surprisingly - the huge increase in sustainability as a packaging issue. Kevin takes a look through recent projects and briefs and tries to make sense of it all.
Kevin is the Founder of Stranger & Stranger which is one of the leading firms in the field of alcoholic beverage packaging, who work with global players like Bacardi and Beam Suntory on brands like Jack Daniels and Martini, as well as one man startups.
