Design2022 On Demand: 5 Things I’ve Learned from Judging the Vertex Awards

On, August 18, the Velocity Institute brought the global private brand community together virtually to celebrate and discuss package design and branding in 2022. The second annual event, Velocity Institute Design2022 is the only event wholly focused on branding and package design for Retail Brand/private label/private brand/own brands.

The event once again featured the winners and judges of the Vertex Awards, including retail speakers from Foxtrot (USA), Eva (Ukraine), Metro (Canada), Giant Eagle (USA), Wakefern (USA), and Ahold Delhaize/Peapod Digital (USA.) As well as thought-leading Vertex winners from MBD, Equator, and Motor Brand Design beginning August 23.

If you missed the event or were simply asleep due to time zone differences, we will be running the conversations and presentations once a day for the next eight business days.
