North Hollywood, CA, April 1, 2022:  Creative agency Gelcomm is thrilled to announce that it is working on a brand refresh for Marini Naturals, Africa’s first quality full haircare range for all-natural hair. This Kenyan-owned line was created by two friends with the goal of offering good quality and affordable haircare products specifically created for woman, men, and children with natural African hair. Marini stands out from its competition due to its effectiveness, affordability, and its focus on “moisture,” which is vital in maintaining healthy, soft, and manageable hair.

As a branding expert in products looking to break into the U.S. market, Gelcomm is thrilled to be working on a brand with the passion and point of difference of Marini Naturals. Using its proven expertise designing for CPG, beauty, and personal care brands within international origins, the package design firm looks forward to creating strategic and striking design for the brand’s introduction to a new market and consumer.

We look forward to working with them to establish their brand and build a passionate consumer following in the U.S. with a visual and verbal refresh that pays tribute to the brand’s heritage, while at the same time marking an exciting new step in the company’s future.”

Michelle Ntalami, Marini Naturals CEO& Founder is confident that the brand is ready to take on the US and global market. “The brand demanded for growth on its own. More and more orders were streaming in from the US and global market. We have captured the African continent, it is now time we spread our wings. We are excited to work with GelComm to help us realize this both on a brand strategy and design level.”
