We conducted a comprehensive review of all SHOCKWAVE’s branding assets, ranging from packaging and brochures to sales sheets, trade show materials, merchandise, and advertising campaigns.
Our goal was to establish a cohesive brand identity across all platforms, while maintaining the highest standards of creative execution.
Working with SHOCKWAVE, we reviewed their entire brand and all customer touch-points that had the most impact in the customer journey. This meant defining the brand’s DNA, establishing a communication platform and revising the logo and creating a new tagline applicable for their Professional division and new Recreational business.
With all the brand elements, collateral and website in place our primary focus with Shockwave was to launch their new recreational product range, featuring the S5 Marine Suspension Module as the flagship offering. The new tv ad, scripted, shot, and produced by M1 Agency was employed in television campaigns and digital advertising supported by the new website, print ads, sales materials, and trade show assets.
