CHALLENGE

Create a new brand of craft beer casual enough for hipsters, but elegant enough for wine drinkers, to be the beer of all things creative.

SOLUTION

Reposition craft beer as the beverage for making things happen. A new occasion and a new look, for a new kind of beer.

 

My partner and I came up with the look/feel/tone/branding of this new beer company from top to bottom. We started with a blank can(vas) and the inspiration brewed from there.

CHALLENGE

Leverage NRG’s partnership with SEPTA to create brand awareness and educate potential customers on energy deregulation. What does that mean? Basically, people are not aware of NRG or that they can actually CHOOSE their energy provider in a city like Philly. We also faced the challenge of renaming a formerly established station.

SOLUTION

Launch a fully integrated station domination using copy driven takeover ads throughout all of SEPTA’s marketing channels. (Subway ads, bus wraps, train wraps, posters, digital ads, etc)

CHALLENGE

There are so many barriers when getting an online degree, how do we remove them and motivate consumers to take that next step?

SOLUTION

There are many reasons to say no, but you only need one to say yes. Remind consumers of that honest, and sometimes funny voice in their head that knows all the reasons (big and small) that planted the idea of getting their degree, in the first place.

All of these lines were written by Candice Monster
