Cider | Brand Campaign







Role Group Creative Director

            When growth hacking stopped hacking it for Gen Z fashion startup Cider, we created a brand campaign that focused on helping the audience dress how they feel (instead of how a faceless CMO wants them to want to feel). The out of home campaign took over NYC with a concentrated effort in Hudson Yards, and was accompanied by a large digital push.
