Yield Growth Furthers Position in $22-billion Hemp and CBD Industry with Appointment of Specialist New York Agency The Design Spot for Urban Juve and Mad Wallaby for Marketing

Beauty and Wellness Experience for Successful Global Brands, Creativity, and Strategic Acumen Determined the Successful Agency Selection


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF) (Frankfurt: YG3) announces The Design Spot as its agency of record for strategic graphic design counsel from overall brand direction to packaging, merchandising and point-of-sale deliverables.

Stand-out visual identity and branding are vital to differentiation in the growing hemp-CBD market which -- according to a new estimate from cannabis industry analysts the Brightfield Group -- alone could hit $22 billion by 2022.

Founded in 1996 by veterans of the package design industry Glyn Eppy and Domenic Lopergolo, The Design Spot is a design and branding company located in the heart of New York City. Its team of award-winning designers was chosen for notable experience with an emphasis on skin care, hair care, doctor brands, cosmetics and fragrances. Its portfolio includes work for Brandt MD, L’Oreal USA, Origins, Revlon, Unilever - Dove and hundreds more.

“The Yield Growth team looks forward to the expert support from The Design Spot as our corporate and subsidiary brand identities are established and evolve,” says Penny Green, Yield Growth CEO, “Their global experience in the niches we serve instills terrific confidence that we have chosen a graphic design and identity development firm to position us well in the market: identifiable, compelling and trusted.”

“We are excited to start work on the branding and packaging design direction for this new company and its subsidiaries,” says Eppy. “The dynamism, innovation and product quality they represent will guide our work.”

The Design Spot is designing skincare and wellness brand Urban Juve’s retail point of sale deliverables and designing the packaging for Urban Juve’s Phase 2 products, launching later this year. Urban Juve is a skincare brand inspired by Ayurveda that employs hemp root and other essential oils in its unisex products.

The Design Spot is also creating a brand identity and initial packaging design for Yield Growth’s upcoming CBD product line Mad Wallaby to be distributed through its distribution subsidiary Mad Wallaby, based in California. 

The company establishes legal U.S. retail and e-commerce distribution for beauty, health and wellness brands with products containing hemp ingredients including cannabidiol from hemp (CBD) that have less than 0.3 percent concentrations of THC.

The fast-growing popularity of CBD-based products across health, wellness, beauty and food, drink and supplement markets synchronizes with the release of more than 23,000 studies that tout the benefits of legal, medical cannabis and its medical grade derivatives as well as a groundswell of positive anecdotal consumer and media experiences with early-to-market products, such as those created and available for sale by Urban Juve.
