Merit Award: Walsh Design

TITLE: Kate’s Energy Bars: The agency designed Kate’s packaging with the goal of creating a package that would carry through Kate’s complete line of bars, boldly and consistently, while at the same time reinforcing the story and illustrations that originally launched her brand. Kate also wanted to show her product by incorporating a window in the package.

Kate’s story: In pursuit of a flavorful life, Kate moved to Jackson Hole in the early ’90s. Not long after, she created the original Tram Bar, a pocket-sized meal for playing in the mountains and skiing slopes all day long. Made of organic ingredients and a unique texture and flavor combination, the bars quickly became a local favorite for their unbelievable taste and sustaining energy. Now, Kate’s flavors (either as a meal or a snack) are famous with outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, foodies and everyone in between!

TITLE: Alpine Ascents Rises to the Occasion with Custom Mailer: Alpine Ascents International is a Seattle-based mountaineering guide company.
