OUTCOME
The PHOENIX brand’s strong reputation, superior quality/performance, and attention to design detail captured attention and sales with a product-as-hero campaign. We successfully highlighted the brand’s newly redesigned equipment via a newly-created library of CGI rendered product visuals, offset by textured backgrounds, straight-talking headlines, and a “Made in WI, USA” mark.
