Branding and Marketing Design for Fashion brand

NKN Nekane is a romantic “boho-chic” fashion brand from Barcelona, inspired by the feminine and free-spirited woman, aiming to blend elegance with carefree style. As the brand expanded internationally, I was brought on board to ensure a consistent and appealing brand image across all customer interactions.

The Outcome By refining the visual identity and creating a wide range of stunning branded materials, we significantly enhanced their global presence, solidifying NKN Nekane’s position in the fiercely competitive fashion industry. This resulted in substantial growth in online engagement, increased sales, and stronger market positioning, ensuring a lasting connection with their audience.

The Process
With a rock-solid brand strategy in place, we kicked off the creative phase with a moodboard that vividly captured the essence of NKN Nekane’s free-spirited and bohemian vibe. This step ensured that all visual elements would align with the brand’s core identity. Next, I focused on refreshing the visual identity by updating the existing typography and color palette. This played a key role in creating a more cohesive and contemporary brand image, laying the foundation for a visual language that would resonate with NKN Nekane’s audience globally.
Brand Collateral
To reinforce NKN Nekane’s brand identity, we crafted a set of brand collateral, including gift cards, business cards, packaging for e-commerce orders and a variety of promotional materials. These items not only served functional purposes but also strengthened brand recognition and consistency across all touchpoints. As a result, the image of NKN Nekane became more cohesive and memorable, enhancing customer loyalty.

Marketing Design
To engage the online audience and to drive traffic to both the e-commerce site and physical store, I designed newsletters, website banners, landing pages, and content for the website, as well as paid media assets. These digital marketing materials were crucial in maintaining a visually appealing and consistent digital presence. As a result, we significantly boosted online engagement and conversion rates, growing the email subscriber list by almost half – from 10K to 19K – and increasing Instagram followers from 21K to 51.6K. This ensured that the brand remained top-of-mind for both existing and potential customers.

Sales Campaigns’ Key Visuals
For each summer’s and winter’s sales campaigns, including Black Friday and smaller flash-sale promotions, I developed campaign’s key visuals. They were pivotal in creating excitement and urgency around the sales events, leading to increased foot traffic in stores and higher online sales. The strategic and visually compelling campaigns contributed to a substantial boost in sales and heightened brand awareness during peak shopping periods.
