Adam + Company

Adam + Company is an award-winning studio based in Boston. Since my work for Glayva in the YCN brief I have been very interested in work for alcohol (packaging and bottle design) and this is how I came across this studio. 

They also do a lot of work for the music industry. Doing album cover designs for people such as Madonna. Very impressive work.

Branding

Kristine Mullaney Design

Campaign

In collaboration with Ness Higsonand Real Branding, Inc., Adam&Co. designed a viral campaign to announce the U.S. launch of Duvel Green.Our campaign used longitude and lattitude coordinates as a means for directing Duvel Seekers to the few, very select locations across the country where it can be found on-tap. Upon referencing the campaign, customers received a passport. At each location that they discover, they get a stamp, earning them greater access to branded giveaways and events.

Madonna

As her 25 year contract with Warner Brothers came to an end, Madonna was to release a definitive greatest hits record that would catalogue her career to date, simply titled “Hits”. Adam&Co. was invited to develop packaging concepts for the release. This concept illustrates a 6-panel digi-pak enclosed in a clear plastic, 1 color silk-screened sleeve. The digi-pak folds out to reveal Madonna posed in the sign of the cross. The booklet that accompanied the package was designed to resemble a bible. Each chapter containing text around each album of her career, accompanied by a unique illustration that references her stylings from that era.
