Sydney design and brand agency Biggie Smalls created its own donut brand, complete with packaging aimed at bringing a smile.

The Big Poppa Donuts packaging houses three glazed donuts in a vibrant bespoke tube.

Materials used includes a tin can, cardboard inserts, and a paper bag with label.

The donuts are stacked one on top of the other, in a tactic which ensures each donut has to be removed one at a time.

The donut flavours include strawberry ('full fat strat'), chocolate ('crispy creative') and vanilla ('sugar-topped service').

The fictional donut character and brand name Big Poppa was a nod to the company's own studio name of Biggie Smalls.

“Our hit rate was exceptional, with very high levels of response and plenty of new work and allies created,” a spokesperson said.

Food & Drink Business

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.

Rumin8 is accelerating its methane reducing feed additive commercialisation progress in New Zealand, garnering $4.4 million (US$3 million) in investment as the company prepares to enter the final trial process.
