Case in Point: Dantz Development's Retrospect Backup Software



Given its 94% marketshare, Retrospect software had already dominated the Macintosh backup market for over a decade. When launch plans for a new Retrospect for Windows product line accelerated, I was asked to develop a new identity and packaging system. My competitive analysis revealed that, unlike Macintosh software, Windows products must literally sell themselves off the shelf, and that best-selling software names were always self-explanatory. I proposed and implemented a new naming system, then fashioned a fresh, hard-working brand identity into Mac and Windows package lines for what would now be known as Retrospect BACKUP.

Retail sales? From zero to $5mil in year one.
