About
Randy Williams started The Creative Box Company because he saw craft businesses struggling with something fundamental: packaging suppliers treated them like transactions, not partners. Order boxes, get boxes, repeat.
But Randy's different. He cares about helping small businesses showcase their products beautifully. He offers design ideas. He understands presentation matters. He grows with his clients as they scale from 10 boxes to 100,000.
The problem? He couldn't articulate what made him different.
We helped him see—and communicate—what he already was: an ongoing packaging partner for craft businesses who want someone in their corner.

The Challenge
The Challenge
The Challenge
The packaging industry operates on a transactional model: craft businesses call when they need boxes, suppliers fulfill orders, repeat. Everyone treats it like a commodity.
But small craft businesses—especially those scaling up—don't just need boxes. They need a partner who:
- Understands that packaging is part of their brand story
- Offers ideas for presentation, not just fulfillment
- Grows with them from farmer's markets to wholesale accounts
- Actually cares about their success
Randy saw this gap. He'd watched craft businesses struggle with suppliers who treated them like order numbers. He knew he could be different—he already was operating differently with his early clients—but he couldn't articulate why that mattered.
The real challenge wasn't creating a new category. It was revealing what Randy already was and making that visible to frustrated businesses who didn't know this kind of partner existed.

Strategic Insight
How We Helped HCCH Get Found
Strategic Insight
During our research, we looked at what craft business owners were saying about their packaging experiences. The pattern was clear: they felt like transactions, not relationships. They wanted someone who cared.
Then we watched Randy work.
He naturally operates as a partner:
- He offers design suggestions
- He understands the psychology of unboxing experiences
- He thinks about how packaging evolves as businesses scale
- He genuinely wants his clients' products to look extraordinary
This wasn't something we needed to teach Randy or build into his business model. It was already who he is.
Our job wasn't transformation—it was revelation. We had to help Randy see what made him extraordinary, then make everyone else see it too.
The strategic insight: Packaging isn't one-and-done. It's continual as businesses grow. Position Randy as the ongoing partner craft businesses wish they had, and the recurring revenue model becomes natural—not forced.

How We Revealed It
How We Helped HCCH Build Trust
How We Revealed It
Brand Positioning:
We crystallized what Randy already was into clear positioning:
- NOT: "We sell custom packaging"
- YES: "Your ongoing packaging partner as you grow"
The difference isn't semantic. It's psychological. One is a transaction. The other is a relationship.
Messaging That Speaks to Frustration:
Our research identified the key pain points craft businesses experience with traditional suppliers. We didn't need complex behavioral psychology—we just needed to speak clearly to what frustrates them:
- Feeling like a number, not a partner
- Suppliers who don't understand presentation matters
- No continuity as they scale
- Transactional relationships that feel cold
Randy's natural approach solves all of this. We just had to say it clearly.

What I Loved About This Project
What I Loved About This Project
What I Loved About This Project
Working with a Startup: There's something powerful about positioning a business correctly from the beginning—before transactional expectations calcify. We got to help Randy build his foundation on partnership, not retrofitting it later.
Research-Driven Revelation: The market research showed us the gap clearly. Craft businesses are frustrated with transactional suppliers. Randy naturally fills that gap. We just connected the dots and made it visible.
Making the Extraordinary Visible: This is what Neuma Creative does best: seeing what's already extraordinary in a business and helping everyone else see it too. Randy didn't need to become something different. He needed to articulate—and systematize—what he already was.
Startup Freedom: No legacy systems to work around. No established "this is how we've always done it" patterns. Just the opportunity to build it right from the beginning.
