Satkar Gidda, sales and marketing director at Sieberthead, said that design is perhaps the most important element in the product development process because it is where brands communicate with the consumers. He said design should therefore inform the entire development process rather than be tagged on at the end if a new product is to be successful.
With very little time to attract the busy consumer, Gidda said products have to be designed with an understanding of the target market, and gave the example of an anti-aging toothpaste that fell potential pitfalls when it came to product design and communication.
