CHARGE — Brand Concept
Challenge
The focus gum category is crowded with products that rely on functional claims, lifestyle clichés, or overly clinical branding. CHARGE needed a visual identity that immediately communicated energy, confidence, and momentum while feeling premium enough to compete on modern digital shelves.
Idea
Energy. Focus. Go.
The concept treats focus as movement rather than concentration. Every graphic element—from bold typography and angular compositions to kinetic motion and athletic photography—reinforces the feeling of acceleration.
Rather than telling people they’ll feel energized, the brand is designed to make them feel energized the moment they encounter it.
Visual Language
A bold, high-contrast design system built around oversized typography, dynamic geometric forms, clean white space, and vibrant product colors creates an instantly recognizable identity. Bright lifestyle photography captures moments of determination, speed, and achievement, while the colorful packaging becomes a hero element across every touchpoint.
Motion System
The motion language is driven by momentum. Type slides with purpose, products snap into frame, athletes move through fast cinematic cuts, and macro product moments add tactile detail. Every transition is quick, precise, and intentional—mirroring the instant boost associated with the product.
Photography
Instead of generic fitness imagery, the photography celebrates peak performance across multiple sports and disciplines. Powerful portraits, dynamic action, and vibrant outdoor environments create a feeling of optimism and forward motion while reflecting a diverse community of high performers.
Outcome
The result is a contemporary consumer brand that feels energetic, premium, and highly scalable. The identity extends seamlessly across packaging, social media, motion graphics, advertising, digital experiences, and retail—creating a cohesive brand system that is memorable both on shelf and on screen.
Treating focus as movement instead of concentration is a sharp reframe, most gum brands default to clinical or minty-clean visuals instead. The kinetic macro shots are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Was that photography direction locked in from the start, or did it come...

Awesome work👏🔥🔥
I wanted to create a pizza ad that felt like more than just showing pizza.
So I focused on the moments around it.
A boring evening.
The excitement when it arrives.
The memories created around the table.
Most people see the final ad. The real story is how it got there.
