The iconic insurance brand is recognized for its high quality and general customer satisfaction. When it discovered that a lower priced product would be viable in a segment of the market that was underserved, the challenge became getting the word out about the more affordable option without eroding the integrity in the brand.

Blue Cross-Blue Shield

We employed a "push-pull" campaign approach to the business owner and their employees. Using established brand standards as framework we advanced this special product to new visual places yielding a credible vibrancy while not taking away from positive perceptions of the brand.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY

CNot final copy hallenge: In a city known to be loyal to strong ownership of major league sports teams, convey the essence of a re-invented team to current and prospective fans. Formerly known as the Kansas City Wizards, less intelligently as “The Wiz”, new ownership came in to rescue a struggling franchise. Out of this rebrand came a new stadium and a new team name, Sporting Kansas City. We came into this assignment because the previous agency wasn’t quite getting what the new ownership wanted to be with their new icon. The brandmark is critical to a franchise’s success given that it has to be something that everyone from ownership to the most casual fan can identify with and get behind. We landed on a shield shape that at the time was unlike any other in the league. Inside the shield is a representation of the two states Kansas and Missouri whose borders meet to form Kansas City. The elongated and intertwined SC is a nod not to fonts often seen on European Club crests. The alternating stripes represent the unification of 11 players on the pitch. Last we designed a proprietary font that is used throughout the stadium as well as for broadcast and web content communications.

Lab Distillation: Innovative ownership begins with our fans

Lab Solve: Giving the Sporting brand a look and feel of not trying too hard and just being a refuge where you don’t have to always be “on your game” was the driving force behind guest touchpoints.
