2. Briefly describe this entry’s communications objectives and how it met those objectives (up to 100 words):

Ther-Rx, the branded prescription prenatal vitamin market leader, offers a
versatile line of prenatal vitamins ‘designed with each unique pregnancy in
mind’. The Ther-Rx Prenatal Vitamin Franchise packaging was designed to
feature the “Cut-Out” campaign and the tagline ‘right for each mom and baby’.
The new package design demonstrates consistency across the portfolio while
preserving the distinct differences of each individual product. The “Cut-
Outs” imagery intimately expresses the desire for options in a diverse
society. Warm and affectionate colors highlight the “Cut-Out” icons, and each
package incorporates the tagline and a call-out product feature “bug”.
