Challenge

The athletic recovery category is saturated with products relying on vague wellness language and lifestyle positioning. For serious athletes, ambiguity signals low efficacy and kills trust. Muscle Rehab had seconds to communicate what the product does, who it’s for, and why it works.

If the benefit wasn’t obvious immediately, the sale was lost.

Creative Rationale

Packaging hierarchy was engineered to communicate efficacy in under three seconds, reducing hesitation at shelf. Prioritizing primary benefits over secondary information shifted the decision from comparison to confidence.

Strategy

We locked a single positioning standard before execution: fast, effective recovery for people who train hard. Messaging, identity, and packaging were built as one system and engineered for 3-second comprehension at shelf and online.

Visual hierarchy, typography, and language emphasized performance and clarity—reducing hesitation and increasing confidence at the moment of decision.
