Kudos from clients

“Collaborating with Squad was essential in realising our vision for a new-world regional Australian whisky brand. Drawing on the heritage of Morris Distillery, we sought to create a whisky that embodies both tradition and modernity, and Squad delivered this with a distinctive bottle and packaging design that cuts through.”

Michael Sergeant, Head of Strategy & Innovation, Casella Family Brands

“We came into this process with a hazy idea of the product we wanted to create, and every interaction with Squad helped clarify and elevate that vision. They are masters at listening to their clients, reducing their ideas down to their essence, and then transforming them into unique and beautiful concepts.”

Charlie Maas, CEO Papa Salt Gin

“I engaged Squad to help create a brand that stood out in an already saturated market. From brand concept to packaging to website development and everything in between, every little detail is considered and deliberate. The incredible outcomes they achieve are through hard work and experience. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
