When we created the identity program and packaging for Marble Hill Chocolatier in 2005, it was a fledgling company looking for a storefront and its first customer. A year later, the retailer was selected as the #1 “Favorite Thing” in 2006 in Cincinnati Magazine’s “Best of the City” issue. The same month, Marble Hill Chocolatier was featured on the cover of Cincinnati Weekly. It’s a sweet story of success.

We all know it’s a great piece, and this third-party endorsement is very gratifying,” says Allen Arndt, Director of Communications.
