BIke to Work Day 2016

We were approached by the Bridge City Bike Co-op to create awareness for their Bike to Work Day.  In the past they had used many types of traditional media including billboards, radio and print.  However they found a vast majority of people heard about their event through Facebook.  We set in motion a plan to promote and humanize the event on their three established platforms: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
With over 15 unique businesses hosting commuter stations our goal was to showcase them in a visual and engaging way.
Giving the commuter stations a face was very important because of their many different perspectives.  The only common thread we found was a passion for biking, the rest was a wide range of pretty cool individuals and innovative companies.  This diversity is an asset because it has the potential to be meaningful to many different people and draw them to the event.
The heart of this event is the Bridge City Bike Co-op.  The organization is filled with incredibly thoughtful people with no shortage of advice about biking to work.  We saw this as a great opportunity to capture some motivating moments that would hopefully inspire others to try biking for a day or potentially longer.
Sharing experiences can be a powerful tool to connect people emotionally.
Have a look at the video series we shot in the work room of the Bridge City Bike Co-op.  We loved the range of topics and personalities.  Once again reinforcing the sentiment that biking to work is accessible to everyone.
For more information about this event visit biketoworksaskatoon.com
Stay tuned to the Bridge City Bike Co-op's social media for updates on August 17 as we bike around capturing all the action.  See you at Bike to Work Day!

New Balance Saskatoon

Working at New Balance was a very rewarding experience  The opportunities to create original events and incubate new marketing ideas was huge.
Many of the things we did were built on community engagement and product education.
One great example of a start to finish package we did is the New Balance Run Crew.  We aimed to create a running program targeted to "non-runners".  We found some amazing ambassadors for the program and began building the hype.

​Creating a campaign first to help promote the event was key.  We did a full photo shoot to create images that would elevate the event and inspire some of our fashionista customers to check it out.  
Not your typical running photos, we contrasted an athletic vibe against an upscale interior.

One of the exciting challenges of this event was the sheer volume of people who showed up for the first night.
Making sure to capture as many moments as possible was important.
It was also key for us to have those images uploaded quickly while there was still lots of energy.  Giving participants a chance to share and tag themselves.
As the Run Crew continued during the summer we hosted other fun theme nights and made sure to include engaging images to keep people coming back for more.
Being brand consistent is key.

Of course a big part of New Balance Saskatoon was the product.  We found many interesting and cool ways to showcase our shoes and apparel to customers.

We played with images that were highly branded and also some photos that were more spontaneous.  Both approaches worked well with engaging our customers.
Social media moves fast so being creative is the most important.
As the store closed we wanted to take some time to reflect and create a simple but powerful piece for the community who supported us.  Using a raw editing style we created a documentary feeling video.
We focused on the stories and the people that made the experience great.
