Dr. Andrew Hurley on How Spam Calls Can Inspire Packaging Design: Packaging World

Dr. Hurley reflecting on how a call from telemarketers catalyzed ideas on how package designers can leverage packaging to deliver differentiated packaging.

Dr. Andrew Hurley, our Founder, recently guest wrote for Packaging World.

Dr. Hurely stated:

"Sometimes it's a Susan with a free cruise or an Alex with a limited-time offer to make $40 an hour working from home. These folks are bots—spam—but a new type of spam. It's highly differentiated from the junk mail flyers and spam HTML emails of the recent past. They're highly customized, pertinent-to-us calls from local area codes and cities we live in. It got me thinking . . . how can we do this with packaging (but in a positive, non-spammy way)?"

"When you think about need, want, and desire, it's easier to identify audience segmentation then leverage that knowledge to differentiate your product."
