the takeaway:

Regulated industries require legally compliant branding and marketing. Compliance rebrands can be done holistically, efficiently and have totally stunning results. Regulation does not mean stripping a brand of its personality - and the team at Maison loves a challenge.

to succeed you need:

holistic brand strategy

When a mother brand houses many sub-brands, such as in the case of The Juice Punk housing TJP Labs, Vape Time Canada, L!X, L!X15, L!X ST!X, L!X Nicotine Salts and Solutions, Myle, Salk Street Vapor Shoppes, and Ki – compliance rebranding is not just a single rebrand. It affected all sub-brands, creating a cascade of repeated rebranding and marketing tasks to implement. This is how the Build Your Own Brand Formula was born. You need a linear, hierarchical plan to implement and execute everything in the most effective, efficient order possible to save on time, resources, budget, and heartache. 

graphic design execution across all arenas

Commerce brands require a variety of marketing deliverables to sell their products: from 3D rendered product packaging mockups (a more cost efficient in-house option than product photography), to business cards, pitch decks and prospectuses, point-of-sale materials like sell sheets, menus, wobblers, decals, signage, and posters, to digital marketing items such as branded email marketing templates, online ad designs, and social media content creation, to experiential marketing collateral including trade show booth designs, x-stands, and storefront experience design. This seemingly endless onslaught of tasks would have been impossible to execute without the holistic branding and marketing strategy outlined in The Strategic Brand Drafting Manual

marketing implementation to take brand identity to experience

Completing a stunning compliance rebrand and designing a whole swathe of marketing collateral is an excellent undertaking, but effectively useless unless those items are put into play in the real world. The Juice Punk really shone in its trade show booth experiences and in its highly curated in-store sales collateral and customer shopping experiences.
