It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize how important visual aesthetics and packaging is. A walk down any supermarket aisle will have any number of brands competing for trust, attention and recognition.

The benefits of blogging
As social media gets more and more clogged with ads and mysterious algorithms that change weekly, newsletters and blogging are having a resurgence as a method for content marketing and establishing brand niche.
