LUNCHLY SAMMIES · Case Study
LUNCHLY SAMMIES

Overview
In 2026, Lunchly expanded into a brand-new product category with the launch of "Lil' Sammies"—a line of crustless sandwiches packed with 13g of protein, outperforming key category competitors. Serving as Executive Creative Director, I led our in-house team through the end-to-end design and launch, bringing a completely new offering to life from package design to full-spectrum digital and retail rollouts.


The Challenge
Entering a crowded category dominated by traditional legacy brands meant Lil' Sammies needed to command instant attention on retail shelves. The design required a careful balance: clearly communicating superior "better-for-you" nutritional benefits—specifically the higher protein content—without losing the irreverent, high-energy fun that defines the Lunchly brand. The visual identity had to break category conventions while driving immediate appetite appeal.

The Approach
I directed our multidisciplinary team to build a fresh, high-impact brand system designed to resonate across generations:
Package & Product Design / Established a vivid graphic architecture that highlighted functional benefits like "13g Protein" using high-visibility typography, while weaving in dynamic product imagery and playful brand elements.
3D Renders & Content Production / Led CG and motion designers in modeling photorealistic 3D package assets and appetizing tabletop visuals, building a high-impact asset library for launch campaigns.
Omnichannel Rollout / Directed digital designers, print production specialists, and project managers to deploy cohesive Point of Sale (POS) displays, retail merchandising, and dynamic social media content.


The Result
The launch delivered a fresh, category-disrupting design language that set a new standard for crustless sandwiches. By blending functional nutrition messaging with Lunchly’s signature energy, the Lil' Sammies identity captured the attention of Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers while earning trust from purchasing parents—driving a successful portfolio expansion from day one.
