Monkey Sport Apparel: An Industrial Street Experience

Celebrity designer Pepper Foster came to us with a new fashion line, some staple pieces, and a logo, but to build a fashion line, he needed a lot more. He was looking to create not just a lifestyle apparel brand for sports enthusiasts, but to create thoughtful brand extensions, build brand awareness through consistent marketing, and design an Instagram worthy shopping experience that any influencer would want to be a part of. We created a comprehensive strategy and design plan to set the brand up for success upon launch and in the future.

Bringing Sports Apparel to the Street

Founded by celebrity designer Pepper Foster, Monkey Sport Apparel provides gear for the sports enthusiast with an active lifestyle in need of a high-end wardrobe. And in the fashion world, iteration is key when you need to provide your customers with fresh merchandise and marketing materials from season to season. That’s where we came in!

To compliment the clothing lines staple pants and jackets, we created graphics in the brand’s eclectic urban style for applications on shirts, hats, backpacks, socks- all the clothing needs of the Monkey Sport Apparel customer.

Extending the brand: Packaging Design

We anticipated the needs of the growing brand through thoughtful extensions such as hair and skincare products, designing both the packaging and point-of-sale display concepts.

Gaining Awareness

The partnership with Monkey Sports gave the brand an advantage- a large email and mailing list full of customers. To generate buzz, we designed a fold-out poster brochure and stickers to include in orders that promoted awareness around the launch.

Yep- We Did Just About Everything!

When Monkey Sport Apparel decided to make promos for YouTube and their website, you know we were in! We worked with our video producer to bring the collection to life, and when Pepper needed a model stand in, of course our lead designer, Nathan Owens, was on board! Looking good, Nathan!
