BAD ASS WORK GEAR

Deliverable: Brand Research, Development and Identity

As part of Boot Barn’s efforts to grow sales in work boots and apparel, Boot Barn wanted to launch an innovative, new brand and line of work wear that targets males between the ages of 20-45 -- with a greater focus on the 20-30 age group.

Boot Barn wanted this new brand to compete on a level at or better than the premier U.S. brands focused on the younger work customer (e.g., Keen, Timberland Pro, Ariat Rebar) and to resonate intuitively with his rugged, mostly outdoor lifestyle. They expected the brand to be clearly differentiated from the competition and be distinctive enough in voice and/or imagery to cut through the marketing clutter.

We were honored to have our work on this new brand recognized with “Gold” in the 2019 Hermes Creative Awards. You can read more about this recognition on our Awards page.

“Working with the Riley Group team has been one of the most pleasing experiences I have had with a marketing company. Carl and his team not only work harder than any other marketing team, they are also the most pleasant to work with. They collaborated with our team, and have nailed the design concept over and over again. Riley Group is my “go to” for all upcoming marketing projects!! Best experience and outcome!!!”
