The Challenge

The essence of Justin's social entrepreneurial efforts was epitomized in a unique, tangible symbol: a colorful, hand-painted trailer shaped like a fish. This trailer, besides being a literal vehicle for Justin's journey, was also a metaphorical vehicle for the sense of fun, community connection, and personal resilience that he sought to promote.

The real challenge lay in capturing the vibrancy and character of this physical entity and translating it into the digital realm. We needed to create a comprehensive brand identity and a corresponding website that would embody the dynamic spirit of the Fish Trailer, while ensuring it was engaging and relatable to the online audience.
The task was to digitalize the trailer's charm without losing its essence, which demanded a deep understanding of Justin's mission and a creative approach to brand development and web design.

Drawing on the charm of the Fish Trailer, we set about creating a brand that was as diverse and connected as the communities the brand sought to highlight. We developed a logo that encapsulated the Fish Trailer's lively spirit, complemented by a color palette inspired by the vibrant hues of the hand-painted trailer.
A series of bespoke illustrations brought an extra layer of storytelling, made possible with the AI image generation tool, Midjourney. These graphic assets not only lent a visually striking element to the brand but were also representative of the richness and diversity the adventures Fish Trailer has embarked on.

Website Development

To craft an online experience as unique as the brand itself, we chose to use Webflow. It offered the flexibility and robustness needed to build a site that was both highly functional and engagingly playful. The site was designed to be a mirror of Justin's journey, filled with stories of human resilience and unity.

Sweepstake Promotion

Our copywriters focused on the sweepstake, offering visitors a chance to win 2x tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. The promotional copy was seamlessly woven into the site's content, enticing visitors to engage with the brand and connect with the larger community mission.

Backend Integration

With Google Analytics and Audienceful integrated into the backend, Justin had access to critical user data. This setup allowed him to build a solid email list and engage with his audience on a deeper level. Each sign-up form was tailored with custom fields to gather relevant data and help shape future community stories.

The Results

The project was a massive success, as validated by analytics and audience response. Our client, Justin, was thrilled with the end product. The new branding, website, and promotional strategy resonated with his audience and reflected the vibrancy of his mission.
The Fish Trailer brand has since become a beacon of community connection, and its unique story continues to inspire and connect individuals around the country. This case study serves as a testament to our ability to understand complex branding needs, create engaging digital experiences, and generate meaningful results.
The key takeaway from this project? A well-crafted brand and a strategically developed website can bring even the most unconventional ideas to life. It's about connecting with your audience on a deeper level, delivering value, and creating a space that's just as unique and fun as your brand itself.
