Maesa Helps Old Navy Sail into Personal Care
Old Navy, a division of Gap Inc, commissioned a partnership between Purpose-Built and Maesa Beauty to steer into the personal care category. The holiday collection features a wide assortment of impulse buy products including body butters, lotions, soaps, lipglosses, candles and diffusers. Purpose-Built, a brand and business development consulting firm specializing in personal care, was responsible for concept development, creative direction, copywriting and naming, as well as fragrance, flavor and color development.
“We were inspired by the resurgence of craft as fine art, particularly woodblock and letter press printing techniques,” said Kelly Kovack, president of Purpose-Built. “The design was copy-driven with bold type treatments and big statements about the product form while original hand-drawings and color palette communicated fragrance offering.”
Purpose-Built also provided direction on product development that the Maesa team managed and executed. Maesa was responsible for turnkey manufacturing and supply, including managing product development and production, quality assurance, operations, logistics, finance and purchasing.
Kovack added, “The process was very collaborative between Purpose-Built, Maesa and Old Navy. Maesa’s expertise in sourcing and packaging allowed us to achieve our creative ambitions for the brand.”

Fusion Packaging Is a ‘Best Place to Work’
Fusion Packaging has been named one of Dallas Business Journal’s Best Places to Work for 2009. The distinction was earned by being one of the top scoring businesses in an online employee survey that addressed issues such as work environment, opportunities for personal growth, embracing new ideas, and day-to-day operations.
More than 400 companies took part in the survey, which was conducted by the publication. The company rankings were based in large part on the anonymous employee surveys, as well as on interviews with the company’s co-CEOs and additional company information.
“We truly value our employees and their dedication to excellence,” said Jonathan Gross, co-chief executive officer of Fusion. “Fusion is honored to be recognized this year by Dallas Business Journal—and we’re proud to have a work atmosphere that inspires such a unique sense of loyalty among our staff.”
