Holistic Skateshop : Decks, Shirts, Hoodies and Stickers : Marketing and social media campaign

 Animated Website Header on Holisticskateshop.com


When we were approached by our good buddy JD Turner from Holistic Skateshop about creating graphics for his new shop deck, we had no idea it would lead to a full fledged marketing campaign.

We pumped out about 20 different concepts, landing on a classic skin dripping mutant sliding off of the deck. Once the image was finished, we collaborated on the idea of different color combinations (more on that later, we have to keep some surprises) 

We landed on these 2 being the first to be released



The 2 initial skate decks


We then decided to make these glow in the dark, because why not! The red one on the left has the entire image glowing, the one on the right has just the eye, teeth and shop logo glowing. 

Glowing examples


We then re-drew the bottom of the head for apparel, keeping the same frantic energy as the initial deck art, as well as re-creating the holistic logo to also be a drippy mess for the front pocket image:



Of course, they too had to be glow-in-the-dark:


We also created an eye melting fluorescent version for shirts and hoodies:



And finally, some jumbo glow-in-the-dark stickers:

Now that that was done, it was time to think about how we were going to roll this out and really hype it up. So we decided on a teaser commercial for social media to start:


Hand done animation (just say no to A.I.)


From there, we then created both static and video posts for each individual product, 12 total:







Here are the static images, we started with a few teasers a few weeks before the event:


Square, and 2 profile sized teasers for Instagram


And here are all of the static page posts, one post a day leading up to the event:


Fluorescent shirt/ glow in the dark shirt/ fluorescent hoodie with glow in the dark front pocket



Fluorescent deck/ glow-In-The-Dark sticker pack/ Full glow deck



There will be a release party at Holistic on May 2nd. Come one come all, supplies are limited. We'll be there from 7-9 pm. Visitors day of get a free signed and numbered poster with the purchase of a deck!

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure 40th Anniversary - Event highlights

 The Mahoning always brings a whirlwind of fandom for every event they do. It was a magical weekend filled with surprises, awesome fans, and the sweetest staff on Earth.

Got to see the Pee-Wee bike on night 2, as well as Diane Salinger (Simone the waitress) making a surprise appearance. She asked why she wasn't on the poster, and we responded that we wanted all of the dangerous events of the movie represented. She responded with "I can be dangerous"

We are 100% certain you can be! Merci Blah Blah Simone!!

The poster sold out, but we may make an alternative screen printed version at a later date, stay tuned!
