“I am excited to be a part of Anthem’s worldwide creative community,” said Mr. Ball. “Anthem’s leadership in packaging, the most critical brand touch-point, and private label branding, is impressive. I can’t wait to tap into our extensive global creative network. It’s like professional crowd-sourcing and allows Anthem to bring a continuously fresh perspective to the strategic design work it delivers.”
 
Chris Plewes, chief creative officer for Anthem Worldwide, said, “We are thrilled to add Spencer to Anthem’s creative leadership team. With a passion for consumer-focused branding, Spencer brings a wealth of packaging design and retail branding experience in the FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) sector to our Singapore office and to Anthem’s global network. His appointment underscores Anthem’s commitment to continuously elevate our creative product to deliver world-class creative that wins at shelf.”
 
Added Ball, “FMCGs and CPGs must understand consumers’ needs and that packaging is the path to purchase. With today’s myriad of choices competing on store shelves, packaging that cuts through the clutter and breaks through at shelf is vital—winning at retail means winning at shelf.”
