Two chocolate products are among the winners of NielsenIQ’s seventh annual BASES Design Impact Awards for the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) industry. 

The global competition recognizes and celebrates best-in-class package redesigns and the business impacts they make for their companies. This year’s winners include brands that delivered innovative and creative packaging with design concepts that reflected brand vision while supporting the shopper journey.

Sixty brands submitted package redesigns and the NielsenIQ BASES team used the company’s proprietary Retail Measurement Sales (RMS) data to identify which brands demonstrated an increase in sales after the launch of the updated package designs. In addition to evaluating RMS data, NielsenIQ conducted a behavioral survey of 15,000 shoppers to assess individual entries across the shopper journey. Each product was evaluated to determine if it presented a visually appealing, easily identifiable package that allowed consumers to find the product on shelves and engage them to purchase the item. The results unveiled 10 winners across various CPG categories with excellent designs and a measurable increase in sales.

“Our team is thrilled to support and promote inspired brands who deliver fresh, beautifully designed packages that stimulate brand growth and financial successes,” said Andrea Fraboni, vice president and global leader of BASES Design Solutions at NielsenIQ. “This year’s winners embody how effective redesigned packaging can help transform and elevate the bottom line of a brand. These companies did it right and we’re excited to showcase their outstanding accomplishments.”
