Wedge

PENTAWARDS 2024 brought home multiple Gold, Silver, & Bronze for our Brand & Packaging work for Brami Inc., Paro South Asian Foods, Drink Ami Ami, and Festif Amaro. Among thousands of entries received across 62 countries, only 700 works were shortlisted by the international jury. We're thrilled to be a handful of them on the world's stage. Big congrats to our partners & founders with vision behind the brands Umaimah Sharwani, Woody Hambrecht, Ross Dawkins, Aaron Gatti, & David Bly. As we say, we're only as great as our clients 🌟

At the start of the year we had the dreamlike pleasure to work hand in hand with the wonderful Blake Lively. Blake and her team developed a line of elevated every day hair care, bottling her learnings and ethos over seven years, now known as Blake Brown. With packaging, logo, and name ready to go, it was time to build the brand world and story around it. Enter Wedge. Iconic Hair, Every Day became the strategic heartbeat. For all the looks you want to play. A nod to the Gossip Girl actress and an invitation for multitudes of expression. From day one we worked intimately with Blake whose vision influenced the narrative and visual universe as someone who appreciates quality with a wink of mischief. Massive thanks to Blake, Maximum Effort, and Give Back Beauty teams. We’re beyond excited to finally share a look with you!

Journalist Emma Apple Chozick was curious for a closer peek into Wedge world, and you can too: “Wedge is the brand & design agency that believes Everything Can Be Special. It why they have taken on projects from the identity of Matheson Food Company, creative strategy for SSENSE, and packaging for emerging brands like Drink Ami Ami to Canada Dry Mott’s Inc. Ginger Ale rebrand. And naturally, their office is a house — it’s just the Wedge way.” Watch the vid here: https://lnkd.in/eQkrJ8b2
