From concept to final collateral, the goal of this summertime campaign was to inspire customers to come in and “find your chill” by finding the Ice Blended® drink built just for you. Featuring a bold, graphic look with bright summer colors we wanted to refresh the look from our Spring POP so drastically that our customers just had to take notice. Using flavor cues as an active graphic element emphasized the playful side of The Coffee Bean® brand, while also symbolizing the nature of our signature Ice Blended® drinks. From in store POP to barista gear and social media content, this campaign kicked off summer with a vibrant splash.

For our international markets we featured a twist on a classic by promoting a line of Mocha Coconut beverages. The concept behind the campaign was to focus on the simplistic beauty of the coconut itself, and the beautiful tropical environments they grow in. Contrasting bright whites and dark, rich browns created a freshness inspired by the flavor. Using palm leaves and pops of bold, vibrant green, we brought an island flair to these premium hand crafted drinks.

Seasonal catalogs have become a key part of The Walking Company’s retail business. With a variety of brands and a wide range of products all vying for attention, the catalog had become a bit difficult to navigate. In Fall of 2016 we decided to update the look and feel by adding a consistent structure and hierarchy. Using tone on tone color palettes, a strong grid, and a minimalist color block aesthetic we were able to organize the layout of each spread as well as shift the focus to the full color product photography and features and benefits information.

When The Walking Company® acquired FootSmart® they reduced their catalog publications from twelve a year to one per season. Taking on a whole new brand meant learning a new type of consumer. One who was a bit older, possibly retired, and looking for shopping experience that required minimal online browsing. We decided to approach them with a refreshed catalog look. One that featured large, detailed studio photography and story telling environmental product shots. We kept the type minimal, organized, and legible for aging eyes. Instead of forcing customers to endure tedious and often difficult online shopping, we embraced the idea of “Shop Your Way” by promoting our customer service call center and revised website design that offered more brands, easier to read text, larger images, and a faster, more efficient shopping experience. The day this catalog arrived in mailboxes across the county, we saw the first huge sales increase since the company was acquired.
