The rebranding of The Pourium, a wine retailer, involved a comprehensive transformation, including a new visual identity, name, logo, and updated marketing collateral. The project aimed to craft a compelling brand story and guidelines for a seamless rollout across various channels.
Brittany Zies: Winning at the C2A Awards has significantly impacted our perspective on both our creative journey and strategic approach. It validates our hard work and creative prowess, resonating throughout our organization and reaffirming our value to our client partners. This recognition boosts morale and motivation, proving our worth to current and prospective clients and enhancing our brand’s credibility. It also serves as a valuable marketing tool, strengthening our reputation and opening doors for new opportunities.
Brittany Zies: The submission and evaluation process was both challenging and memorable. Developing the submission allowed us to reflect on our most impactful projects from the past year. Meeting C2A criteria, adhering to deadlines, and facing competition required detailed collaboration. This process deepened our appreciation for our team and our creative processes. The journey was a learning experience, reminding us of the collective effort involved in all our projects.
