The story
From challenge to solution.
The starting point
The brief: to help develop and promote a novel, innovative and intelligent product for Alfred Sternjakob GmbH, showing a new audience of potential customers what it can do and how it differs from other backpacks on the market. The company has successfully marketed the SCOUT, 4YOU, QUER and HARDWARE brands for decades. The new product was intended to reach 14- to 21-year-olds. Development effectively began with a blank page: all that was known at the outset was that a new lifestyle product was to be created for an as-yet undefined target audience.
The solution
Development of a corporate concept · all slogans · all copy · a new outdoor backpack · creation of the accompanying corporate design · packaging · exhibition equipment · POS equipment · photo shoots · development and production of an advertising film · event delivery · press relations
