M + E brings a new level of clarity, quality and sustainability to the overly complicated nutrition market.
Following a lot of consideration, I've decided to close Studio Makgill.
During the past 15 years, we have worked with so many wonderfully talented and creative individuals and designed for some incredible brands. Hand on heart, I couldn't be more proud of what we've achieved together on this journey.
This decision is deeply connected to the state of the world right now. Whilst our industry is seemingly coming around to its role in aggravating and sustaining the social, environmental and economic crises we face, it's acting too slowly. Currently, to thrive as an agency without causing harm (let alone do good) is too difficult.
I want to be involved in the challenges we face as we urgently find ways towards mutuality, equity and ecological flourishing. However, I no longer feel that an agency is the right vehicle for this.
This isn't the moment to discuss where this decision is taking me (though, feel free to reach out if you want to ask me or share your views on what I'm doing). This is the moment to say thank you. Thank you for choosing to work with us – either as part of the team or as a client. Thank you for being interested in us and hopefully taking some inspiration from the work we created. Just a beautiful and simple… thank you.
Love
My deepest gratitude goes out to these incredibly talented souls who joined me on this journey: Ollie, Alvaro, Myles, Gary, Charlie, Roxy, Gus, Alexis, Laura, Charlotte, Dixie, Rebecca, Nathan, Oli, David, Wai, Miles, Alberto, Stephen, Alison, Gareth, Ryan, Charlie, Harry, Guy, Peter, James, James, Dave, Josh, Gareth, Paul, Roy, Lutz, Tudinh, Anthony & Edd, Martin, Lawrence, Luke, Arran, Rich, Will & Alex, Paul & Russ, Tom, Ed, Carrina, Oscar, Isla and everyone else who I have failed to mention.
M + E brings a new level of clarity, quality and sustainability to the overly complicated nutrition market.
Working with the founder, Evie Montgomery, we developed the brand’s positioning, values and product architecture.
360ME is the first range of life-ready Mood Nutrition from the company. The four products all focus on an individual clear and singular benefit. Every capsule has only what the body and brain needs, which means that there is no need to buy multiple products to achieve the same results.
Our strategy was to match the clarity in Evie’s approach with an identity and packaging that was beautifully simple yet managed to communicate both the science that underpinned the product and the qualities that they deliver on a human level.
The brand communicates with confidence and purpose, giving customers all the information they need, and nothing that they don’t. Much like the supplements themselves.
Every element of the packaging – including the blister packs – was meticulously sourced so as to be fully recyclable.
