We Want The Schunk

Walmart helps customers save money and live better. Brands partnering with Walmart are looking for custom stories and solutions to reach Walmart customers and insert their brand into the story.

The work shown is a sampling from the creative guidelines for Walmart.com and owned/operated channels. One of our core challenges in redesigning the site was utilizing native ads within the Walmart ecosystem to create a holistic, inspirational experience for our audience.

Within this guide is the identity and usage of the WMG brand as well as addendum on how advertisers should use our ad products, creative recommendations and best practices and guidelines across Walmart properties. These experiences are across all verticals and balance the Walmart tone and voice with the brand look and feel.

For the anniversary of the novel 1984, I wanted to create a new cover that showcased the struggle that was shown in the world, but also in the main character Winston Smith’s mental health. Channeling the journaling and writing of Winston Smith. War is Peace, Ignorance is strength. The cover displays these words he wrote over and over, each time more violently. The bold political colors and distressed type act as a tattered flag/banner across the book, while sitting on a clean white cover.

Shift is a startup that came to us with an idea and an open lot where a building would be. They needed our help to develop a brand and an experience on what healthcare could be.

Shift is a new approach to healthcare for people looking to take control of their health and live their best lives. Members of Shift have the opportunity to have full access to a physician and coach with a background in recovery, personal training and nutrition.

Our challenge was to convey Shift as an easy to comprehend format and show the depth of the brand and offering, while driving interest, memberships and establish the overall identity and tone. As we developed the creative we looked to aspects of nature and modern, white space layouts to help convey the idea of medicine, strength and innovation.

”Health isn’t built inside the four walls of a doctor’s office. At Shift we create a partnership with each individual member that focuses on progress over perfection and habit-building over quick fixes. We want you to live on purpose and with purpose, while continuing to grow healthier, happier and more productive.”

Glade wanted an international toolkit built across various countries showcasing their Glade Sensations line. We wanted to showcase the idea of these scents can fit in any holder and can be placed in various rooms.

The user is prompted to pick one of the fragrances on the home page. Once a fragrance is chosen, the refill appears. As they scroll down, the refill moves in tandem with the scroll bar entering each holder. Once the refill enters the holder an animation is triggered that fills the room with fragrance. The user can keep scrolling to see all the rooms or click to find out more about the various holders.
