HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2014) - Dewmar International BMC, Inc. (OTCQB: DEWM) (OTCBB: DEWM) ("Dewmar" or "Company") a leading provider of consumer brands and new innovations to global markets announced today that it will be rebranding its Lean Slow Motion Potion relaxation in order to improve consumer brand awareness, increase sales to a more general populous and to effectively meet the guidelines set forth by the FDA that will allow Lean to be marketed as a conventional food.
Dewmar responded to and addressed the concerns raised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding the Lean Slow Motion Potion relaxation beverage labeling. As part of its response effort, Dewmar engaged consultants from FDAImports.com with extensive FDA knowledge and direct work experience. A review of all policies and procedures related to the manufacturing and marketing of Lean Slow Motion Potion relaxation beverage was conducted by the FDA consultants to assure Dewmar, its investors, marketing partners, distributors, retailers and the FDA that the company will stay in full compliance with relevant food and beverage manufacturing practices, and labeling guidelines.
Dewmar manufactures Lean Slow Motion Potion relaxation beverage in FDA registered and inspected manufacturing facilities that follows strict FDA Good Manufacturing Practices regulations. All Dewmar warehouses are FDA registered and inspected as well. The filed response to the FDA detailed specific steps that Dewmar is taking to address FDA concerns. Dewmar continues to move forward with an aggressive growth strategy for its Lean Slow Motion Potion relaxation beverage brand of products.
Dewmar acquired services of three firms to assist in the rebranding, repackaging, relabeling and improved graphical design of its flagship beverage; HBS Media, Dominant Design Group and Advertising Arts Studios. HBS Media, a Dallas, TX based firm, is responsible for providing Dewmar with a mood board to give them an idea as to how the new Slow Motion Potion logo, background and can color texture will work together. "HBS Media's strengths are in urban brand design that leads to global consumer awareness," says TK Kelly, creative designer and president of HBS Media. They have been working with Dewmar for over 3 years and have had an official partnership as announced in a September 2013 press release.
Dominant Design Group, a Las Vegas, NV based firm owned by successful entrepreneurs Austin and Zachary Hurst, is responsible for establishing the Slow Motion Potion brand identity on a global scale. Currently, the Hurst brothers' firm, Dominant Design Group, is responsible for brand marketing and re-launch of the Hostess Twinkie in all of the Walmarts worldwide by revitalizing the image of the famous Twinkie the Kid branding strategy.
Meanwhile, Brookfield, WI based Advertising Arts Studios is responsible for placing all of the new graphics and branding design -- referred to as "trapping" on the new packaging layout. They are specialists in matching color schemes with aluminum as well as responsible for assuring great visibility and legibility of the new nutritional facts labeling on the cans. All 3 firms are masters of graphical rendering that helps Dewmar to receive 3 different perspectives of how an international consumer brand should be perceived.
Dewmar is fortunate of the timing of this formal request from the FDA. As the Company receives this welcomed guidance at a time when they are in the process re-designing the brand's image especially as Dewmar is renegotiating the extension of their current sales agreement with the nation's largest retailer.
