SHINE BRIGHT STUDIO

Giving Creatives Space to Grow

VITAMINWATER

vitaminwater launched as the drink of choice among New York's style makers. But it lacked a clear role in people's lives outside of this community. Our challenge was to find that purpose and connect with people in a meaningful way. We focussed on the true creative trailblazer who works hard to make thier ambitions a reality. #ShineBright Studio launched to kickstart creative careers through mentoring and exposure at high profile gallery space the Truman Brewery.

To generate interest on social we positioned vitaminwater as the "fule for ideas" amongst designers, artists, entrepreneurs and media professionals.

We created the creative idea, core philosophy and visual identity of #ShineBright Studio centred around the key attributes creativity requires: determination, focus, reslience, and play.
