Sun Chemical

Shifting Perception in a Changing Market

For over 200 years, Sun Chemical has been a leader in color and materials technology. But as sustainability became a major priority in packaging, the company faced a perception challenge:

  • Printers, converters, and brands still viewed Sun Chemical as just a materials supplier—not a true innovation partner.
  • Customers needed help navigating the shift to sustainable packaging but weren’t turning to Sun Chemical for strategic guidance.
  • Despite offering industry-leading sustainable solutions, Sun Chemical needed to redefine its role and clearly communicate its expertise in packaging transformation.

To remain a market leader, Sun Chemical needed to showcase its ability to help brands and converters meet sustainability goals without sacrificing quality or performance.

Mower developed “Experience. Transformation.”, a multi-channel marketing campaign designed to:

  • Drive high-value engagement from brand marketers and packaging decision-makers.
  • Reposition Sun Chemical as a forward-thinking partner in packaging innovation.
  • Showcase the brand’s sustainability expertise in a visually compelling way.

To achieve this, we created a striking visual identity using bold, paper-sculpture-inspired designs—a nod to Sun Chemical’s heritage in print, while reinforcing their evolution into sustainable solutions. We then launched a full-funnel digital strategy, including:

  • Targeted digital advertising across industry-specific channels.
  • Engaging content marketing with thought leadership pieces.
  • Email marketing and paid social to drive high-intent engagement.
  • SEO-optimized web content to capture inbound interest.
