RETAIL

Nothing a little retail therapy can't fix.

Nothing a little retail therapy can't fix.

If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's,

then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

                                                                           

 - Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's

Most of us have one. That special little shop that we step into and know we will always find something we can’t leave without. It may be a boutique with a color story so irresistible that it feels like a candy store; or maybe it is a donut shop with a bakery case so tempting it looks like a jewelry display. Whatever it is, the magic is in the experience, something you can’t match when shopping online.


We are passionate about helping you translate that to your customer, and passionate about making sure it translates to every expression of your brand.


Mora Ice Cream

Artisan ice cream makers with an amazing success story to tell. Two ice cream entrepreneurs set out to share their passion for a taste of home with Argentine-style ice cream. A dozen years later this nationally acclaimed frozen treat has won praise from Martha Stewart to Food & Wine, and expanded from their flagship store on a small island west of Seattle, to brick-and-mortar shops in Nevada and South Carolina. We helped the owners land national press and make the A-lists of Best Ice Cream, and the rest as they say, is history!

The Bottle Shop

Who says selecting a bottle of craft or heritage liquor can't be like choosing a piece of fine jewelry? When the owners of a boutique liquor store set out to create a curated experience for shoppers, every detail from the visual branding to the in-store displays needed to feel like it was intentionally created. We helped them make sure it did.

Renew Day Spa + Salon

Bainbridge Island, WA

When customer demand outpaces capacity, there's nowhere to grow but up and out! Working with a growing local day spa, we had the privilege of helping refresh and tighten up this beautiful luxury brand as they expanded their original downtown day spa, and built out a new second location. Advising Renew Day Spa + Salon as they adapted their best-in-class services to the needs of a neighborhood-based destination meant making sure everyone knew they've built it, and now they can come.

Winslow Street Smarts

Bainbridge Island, WA

Take a historic downtown main street lined with family-owned businesses struggling to hang on in the aftermath of the 2010 recession. Add a major infrastructure project that will close the primary street access to 60 major businesses for months, and you have the potential to be the end of local retail and restaurants.


Enter Winslow Street Smarts. Working closely with the City and key local business and property owners, we crafted a communication plan with bright graphics and a clever hometown feeling to help support local business owners and patrons through the process.


While patrons did their best to continue to shop local, we added bright wayfinding signage, weekly events, and a team of friendly high school Downtown Street Ambassadors to make sure everyone knew how to get around. Businesses survived, in fact many thrived, and when the wider, newer sidewalks reopened the town rolled out to say welcome back!
