CREATIVE PRODUCT BRAND SOLUTIONS

Most brands don't have a product problem. They have a brand problem.

Founders will spend thousands on ad spend, social media, and follow whatever “trends” some guru on the internet tells them. You don’t need more marketing tricks, you need clarity and strong positioning that makes you impossible to resist.

Founders who invest in their brand:

-> Gain total clarity on their unique value and advantages in the market.

-> Stand out on the shelves and online, attracting more customers.

-> Can approach investors and retailers with confidence.

BRAND STRATEGIST + DESIGNER

Hey, I’m Kyle! Let’s build something awesome together.

I started Bigelow Design Co on a simple premise. I was tired of seeing founders getting tripped up on the daunting task of building a brand. There’s a lot to consider. Ideation, validation, manufacturing, profit margins, branding, packaging… The list goes on.

My mission is to become your guide and creative co-founder and lead you towards success on your journey so you don’t have to go through it all alone.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING…

  • Colorful packages of De's Cuisine Jollof rice featuring red and green packaging with images of cooked rice and vegetables.

    "Kyle is very engaging, and he delivered high-quality work for my company. He was receptive to suggestions, listened carefully to our vision for the website and branding project, and offered valuable feedback and creative critique for us to consider. Bigelow Design Co will also remain my go-to company for future projects."

    “From day one, Kyle brought a deep understanding of what it takes to build a business from scratch, especially on a true bootstrap budget. His practical knowledge, strategic thinking, and ability to prioritize what actually matters made a huge difference for us in the early stages.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING…

  • Companies that invest in design outperform their competitors by a wide margin. Top design-led companies grew revenue 32% faster than their industry peers and delivered 56% higher returns to shareholders over a five-year period. That's not a rounding error, that's a category lead (McKinsey & Company).

Here’s the Facts

  • Companies that invest in design outperform their competitors by a wide margin. Top design-led companies grew revenue 32% faster than their industry peers and delivered 56% higher returns to shareholders over a five-year period. That's not a rounding error, that's a category lead (McKinsey & Company).

  • Nearly three out of four Americans say the design of a product's packaging influences what they put in their cart. Two out of three say the materials matter too. When the product is a gift, that number jumps even higher to 81% (Ipsos).

  • Brands that show up the same way across every channel see real financial upside. Companies with consistent branding can grow revenue by up to 33% compared to those without it. Yet 81% of companies still admit they regularly produce off-brand content, which means most are leaving money on the table (Lucidpress).

  • There's a meaningful difference between a customer who likes your product and one who feels something for your brand. Emotionally connected customers are 52% more valuable than customers who are merely satisfied. They buy more often, recommend you more, and care less about price (Harvard Business Review).

  • Customers who feel emotionally connected to a brand stick around longer and spend more over time. Their lifetime value is 306% higher than satisfied customers, and they stay loyal for an average of 5.1 years compared to 3.4. They also recommend the brand at nearly double the rate (Motista).

  • One of the clearest financial benefits of branding shows up at the shelf, where strong brands consistently command price premiums over private label and generic competitors. McKinsey research on CPG categories has found that brands with a clear identity and emotional connection can charge 20% or more than unbranded equivalents, even when the products are functionally similar. That margin is what funds growth, attracts investors, and ultimately drives valuation at exit (McKinsey & Company).
