Make Packaging Your Communication
- Lead with the single thing customers care about and design packaging to communicate that loudly.
- Choose what not to do and make your value proposition obvious on the pack.

- David launched as a stark contrast to RxBar: high-protein, low-calorie, gold packaging and many ingredients.
- The bar prioritizes protein efficiency: 28g protein, 150 calories, zero sugar.

- Peter reframed nutrition around three stable principles: adequate protein, calories matter, and avoid excess sugar.
- Designing to those principles yields objective product decisions rather than chasing trends.
