Stimorol + Springleap



In looking to revitalise their 6 core stick pack
variants, Stimorol required a solution that would
present them with a range of fresh answers to
their brief while providing added value beyond the
usual agency dynamic. Springleap’s model offered
an attractive combination of fresh thinking and a
wide variety of work from designers who had not
worked on the brand before.

Pack-01

“We received innovative designs that met our
brief, but were different to anything we’d seen
before. We would definitely consider them again
either for packaging, graphic or apparel design.”

- Nabila Khan, Assistant Brand Manager Stimorol and Chappies

mile to get top-level designers on board.

Springleap received submissions from 55 designers and illustrators
in its community over a period of 8 weeks, and extended the
submissions window by 4 days on client request. The result was an
amazing range of interpretations of the brief, many of which came
directly from senior designers within the agency space.

Approval
Design submissions were individually screened to ensure design
quality, appropriate imagery, tone and compatibility with client brief.

sites, collecting fans to vote and further share their work, increasing
their chances of winning.
