RETAIL GROWTH THROUGH MEMORABLE STORYTELLING.

The Client:


A national consumer brand with retail distribution in over 100,000 locations across the U.S.

THE 
CHALLENGE

Create an ownable, emotionally resonant content series celebrating local creatives and building national brand relevance. Net loyalty signups, and lift in-store traffic. All with one brilliantly coordinated campaign.

STEP

01

Lead with Local

We curated a 12-city tour over 18 months—featuring markets like Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, and New Orleans—to spotlight the music, art, and people that shaped each city’s creative identity. Local creators were tapped to help tell authentic stories grounded in their communities.

STEP

02

Craft and Distribute High-Impact Content

The campaign delivered full-length video stories, short-form social cutdowns, and companion editorial through publisher partners and brand-owned channels. Each episode was designed to live natively in email, CRM, social, in-store screens, and online.

STEP

03

Activate IRL and Online

We tied content drops to live events like concerts, panels, and retail pop-ups. These were used to drive national sweepstakes participation and loyalty engagement. Geo-targeted digital media surrounded each market push to drive in-store traffic and community buzz.
