Masculine Snack Branding

Manfood's Food for Guys Satisfies a Void with Crisp, Chunky Snacks

— August 28, 2014 — Lifestyle
After being extremely dissatisfied with finding bland, mushy snacks on the market, Andre Dang decided to develop Manfoods, a line of food for guys that has a satisfying crunch and crispness to it. The brand's snacks, sauces and jams are simple and uncomplicated, made with no flavorings or additives. Each of these products come in packs, which are charmingly presented with bold text that reads: "In case of hunger, open box."

The packaging was developed for Manfoods by designer Nick Misani, who created simple, retro-inspired labels for each of the snack food jars. Although each jar varies slightly in terms of its look, feel, color and typographic choices, the units all come together beautifully as a set, looking like products that would be right at home beside that backyard barbecue.

3. Marketing and Advertising - Opportunity for creating targeted marketing campaigns and advertising strategies to reach male consumers seeking satisfying, crunchy snacks with no additives or preservatives, featuring bold, masculine branding and retro-inspired designs.
