HEY, IT PAID SOME BILLS

THE LITTLE NELL HOTEL – Website

May 13, 2016

agency: Genesis, Inc.
creative direction: Graham Button
design: Janet Johnson

For one of the nicest hotels in Aspen, The Little Nell’s website was one of the worst. Haha, okay maybe it wasn’t that bad, but it definitely needed a refresh to better reflect what level of service the hotel offered. In total, the site needed around 140 pages written.

MERRELL FOOTWEAR – Born to be Wild

May 12, 2016

agency: Genesis, Inc.
creative direction/art direction: Olaf Richter

When Merrell Footwear came looking for a new ad agency, they didn’t have much of a problem. They owned fit and comfort. They had incredible distribution. Their growth was remarkable. What they didn’t have was the attention of Millennials. Standing out in a sea of sameness within the category would be easy. Finding the right connective tissue with this audience became the true challenge. We did so by recognizing a universal truth: as humans, we are never more free than when we are outside. And at no other time in our lives are we outside more than during childhood. It was a time of innocence and wonder. Of fearlessness and endless adventure. And more than anything, pure joy. Our message to this generation became: to live life meaningfully today, let out the child trapped inside.

SHIMANO – Perfect Pair

May 12, 2016

agency: Genesis, Inc.
creative direction/art direction: Olaf Richter

No other bicycle component manufacturer has impacted the industry quite like Shimano. Although footwear isn’t technically a component, its connection to the bike’s powertrain can’t be understated. Shimano redefined the the shoe-to-pedal interface with the introduction of SPD back in 1990. Since then, delivering footwear with the same level of innovation, material selection and flawless functionality as every other Shimano product has remained a top priority. As more and more footwear competitors entered the market, it was our job to make sure both consumers and dealers saw Shimano footwear as one more essential component on the bicycle.

PEARL IZUMI – Project E:Motion

May 12, 2016

agency: Genesis, Inc.
creative direction/art direction: Olaf Richter

They should rename the athletic shoe business the athletic shoe “claims” business. If you aren’t trying to convince people your shoes are built in some special way that will practically take all the work out of running, well then, you just aren’t going to sell many shoes. Imagine our surprise when Pearl Izumi came along and had actual scientific proof that their new midsole design indeed provided a more efficient run. At that point, we just had to piss off dog lovers and make a small child cry.
