The problem

On a marketplace the images are the product page - there's no salesperson, only the carousel. Ferrero's brands needed a listing system that wins the thumbnail, tells the whole story on scroll, and stays on-brand and spec-compliant across every retailer and season, at portfolio scale.

My process

  • Design the full listing as a sequence: a main image that wins the thumbnail, then carousel images that answer questions in order - hero, benefits, claims, size and nutrition.
  • Build A+ / Enhanced Content modules - brand story, lifestyle, comparison - as a reusable system any brand can be dropped into.
  • Translate strict global Ferrero brand guidelines into platform-native layouts that meet Amazon, Walmart and Instacart image specs.
  • Ship seasonal and campaign creative - Easter, Halloween and a cross-brand World Cup push - across the whole portfolio, on deadline.

The solution

A repeatable digital-shelf system: every Ferrero brand gets a complete, on-brand, spec-compliant listing - from main image to A+ content - that a shopper reads at a glance and that scales across retailers and seasons.

The hero image - winning the thumbnail

In search, the whole listing is a small thumbnail in a grid of competitors, so the main image is the single most important asset I design. A winner is instantly recognisable, shows the right size and count, and stays legible at that size - on the white background each retailer requires.

Show the sizeThe '13 oz' badge and the jar filling the frame mean the pack size reads before anyone zooms in.
Lead with the benefit'Fruit Adventure', '100 mints', '65% more' - the reasons to buy, legible at thumbnail scale.
Prove the productA cross-section beside the pack shows the creamy filling - the promise, made visible on white.
Own the seasonA NestEggs pack that wins the Easter thumbnail without losing the brand.

The image carousel - the shopper's storefront

On the live Ferrero Rocher listing, the main image is followed by around seven secondary images and videos before 'see more'. This is the sequence I design - each image with one job.

The flavour promise'Premium hazelnut milk chocolate' - an ingredient infographic (milk chocolate, roasted hazelnut, creamy filling, crispy wafer) that sells the product before a shopper reads a word.
The factsNutrition and ingredients on a branded background - scannable inside the carousel, so the details never send anyone off the page.
The product, up close'Individually wrapped premium chocolates' - the detail shot that answers 'what exactly am I getting?'
The occasionPositioned for gifting, so the listing sells a moment, not just a box.
The brand story'A heritage of quality & craftsmanship' - the production story that builds trust and justifies the premium.

A+ content - 'From the brand'

Below the carousel, the 'From the manufacturer / From the brand' modules run full-width. I build them as a reusable system - these are live on the Ferrero Rocher listing right now.

Indulgence in every biteA craft close-up module - the shot that builds desire and justifies the price.
Celebrate special momentsA lifestyle module: the product in a real moment of sharing.
The perfect gift for every occasionThe gifting module that carries the listing into every season.

One system, the whole portfolio

The same module system, tuned to each brand's world.

Built to each retailer's spec

Amazon, Walmart and Instacart each have their own image rules - same brand, different build.

Seasonal, at portfolio scale

Easter, Halloween and a cross-brand World Cup push - designed once, shipped across the shelf.

The main image wins the click

In search, the whole listing is one thumbnail. I design the main image to read - product, flavour, count - at that size, because if it doesn't win the click, nothing else gets seen.

The carousel answers questions in order

On the page there's no salesperson. The secondary images take a shopper from 'what is it?' to ingredients, size, gifting and trust - the whole story before they scroll away.

A+ content, built as a system

Below the fold the 'From the brand' modules build the brand and justify the premium. I design them as a reusable system, so every Ferrero brand ships a complete, on-spec listing at marketplace speed.

The image carousel that sells

On a marketplace the image carousel is the storefront. I design the sequence - hero, benefits, size, lifestyle and trust - so shoppers get the whole story before they scroll.

Butterfinger on Walmart
A+ content, engineered to convert

Beyond the basics, I plan Amazon A+ content and brand-story modules as a system - each block with a job: trigger craving, resolve doubt, build trust and lift perceived quality.

Brand stores that scale a portfolio

Multi-page Amazon Brand Stores that give a whole catalog a consistent, shoppable home - navigation, category pages and seasonal features across the brand family.

Nutella store on Amazon
Variants, bundles and the path to cart

Conversion is more than content. I design the quantity, bundle and size selectors and the purchase flow so shoppers pick the right pack fast, without second-guessing the size or the bundle.
