How we brought out the 'human spirit' in MACK Studios.

When MACK Studios approached us about repositioning their brand to be more relevant to the world today and reflect more of who they are as a company, we took a simple, yet strategic approach to help them reach this goal.

Step 1...

Understand the rich heritage of MACK -- their people and culture. We did this by interviewing their people through an informal process to get to the heart of why they work there, and what makes it such a great company.

Step 2...
Get grounded in the work. Their incredibly impressive portfolio of producing experiences and spaces for the likes of Starbucks, Tesla, Carrier, Chobani, and more, made it easy to understand why they stand apart from others in their space.

Step 3...
Take this information, and create a narrative that can be used both internally and externally. Something that supports their position as a spirited organization that lives and breaths creativity and design. The final positioning, and now tagline, MACK - Designed By Human Spirit.

Step 4...
Bring the new narrative to life in the form of a new brand identity, and website experience.

"Canopy was able to reach into our history, create an open collaborative environment, and allow for our human spirit to drive creativity to move Mack to the next level of our evolution. This has allowed us to focus on our journey as a company with the right message we want the world and our clients to know,” said Jose Colon, President at MACK.

About The Company
Founded in 1965 by Casimir Thomas Maciulewicz (known affectionately as “Chuck Mack”) in Auburn, NY, today, the torch is carried on by his son, Peter, as owner and president. Our mastery is relevant today, with hints of tomorrow. As the world evolves it’s part of the story. The heart and soul of MACK transcends, teaches and leads the way for the next generation and passes the torch that never goes out.

Orgain is fueling life's adventures through design, with some help from us.

Did you know?...
Effective hydration is the top usage and attribute of functional beverages to fight daytime fatigue. Neither did we until we embarked on this great project with the team at Orgain, a nutritional supplement company dedicated to delivering good, clean nutrition with the highest quality ingredients.

"When it came to extending Orgain into the functional hydration space, we were really looking to design a look that reinforced our organic, clean hydration position yet really dial up the vibrancy and taste appeal of the product – to stand out in a very different way. Something to really set us apart in the category versus the other very functional products. Thankfully, not only is the design Launch created modern and beautiful, but it delivers on the product benefits in a way that connects with the consumer. From all the early feedback we’re getting from consumers and retailers, we’re confident it will have a strong impact on the decision-making process and put us in a unique position in the category." said Andrea Theodore, Chief Marketing Officer at Orgain.

"We couldn't be happier with the design Orgain selected. It really separates them from the rest, and we are so proud to see it come to life on shelves and online," said Francesca Allevato, Partner at Launch Innovation.

About The Product
Orgain HydroBoost is certified organic, fruit-based, and features a proprietary blend of minerals, and natural electrolytes, providing fast hydration using cleaner ingredients to satisfy this consumer need.

WE TOOK TRASH TALK TO ANOTHER LEVEL AT SUPER BOWL LVI WITH PEPSI

At this year's Super Bowl LVI, we partnered with Pepsi to create TrashTalk, an experience designed to educate fans on the difference between recycling and trash, and show them how exciting and rewarding it can be when you do it with Olyns, the recycling machines of the future.

Featuring the 2 biggest trash talkers of all time, Super Bowl champions Deion ‘Prime Time’ Sanders and Michael ‘Playmaker’ Irvin, who provoked, celebrated and joked all week long, asking fans to sign in, recycle and win!

Here are some fun stats that resulted from this weeklong activation:

  • Over 100,000 fans in attendance

  • Over 7,500 bottles recycled

  • Over 4,000 registrants to win tickets to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona

  • 5,000 Olyns NFC Cards distributed

  • 100 NFL Shop Giveaways

Some fan soundbites:
"This is so cool. My kids are going to love going with me to recycle bottles!"
"I love the educational component and that it tells you the difference between trash and recycling!"
"I can take my empty bottles to the store and get money that can go to my groceries at the same time? That’s so efficient.”
