Strategic Design Tactics: How Wine Brands Stand Out and Stay Relevant
Join Scott Carslake of Voice Design for a deep dive into strategic design tactics applied to wine brands and their packaging, helping them stand out and be recognised in one of the most competitive categories in the world.
Consumers decide which wine to buy within a few seconds, with the majority of buyers acknowledging that their decision is influenced by the label.
Whether it’s a $15 Tuesday-night tipple or a $500 cellar-worthy icon, the visual and emotional cues change, yet the brand’s soul must remain constant and true. So how are wine brands recognised, remembered, and positioned across different tiers of price, quality, occasion, gifting, and collectability?
In this Rootlings session, Scott Carslake (Voice Design) breaks down the visual shorthand of the wine industry and their packaging. We will explore how brands apply strategic design techniques to stand out, navigate the complex psychology of wine choice, and how to position the brand for longevity
