Project Breakdown

  • Polaroid embarked on a transformative journey to reconnect with a new generation of photography enthusiasts while reclaiming its position as the leading choice over competitors like Fuji. The objective was to leverage the allure of their instant photography products, focusing on creating a vibrant and engaging brand voice that resonates with a digitally inclined audience seeking tangible, physical memories.

  • Consumers are increasingly seeking authentic experiences that allow them to express creativity and share moments physically. The desire for tangible social artifacts stands in contrast to the overwhelming presence of digital images, highlighting an opportunity for Polaroid to leverage its heritage and product offerings. This insight formed the backbone of the new brand narrative, highlighting the emotional and experiential aspects of instant photography.

  • With the goal of establishing a resonant brand voice, strategies were crafted to engage a younger demographic while honoring Polaroid's legacy. The tone of voice was designed to be warm, nostalgic, and community-oriented, aiming to inspire creativity and connection. The brandbook outlined key concepts and messaging frameworks that would guide consistent communications across various channels, fostering deeper engagement with the audience.

  • The strategic implementation of the new brand voice and campaigns led to a successful repositioning of Polaroid in the market. There was a noticeable increase in brand engagement on social media platforms, alongside a positive impact on sales and market share. Polaroid's transformation into a beloved, iconic brand was further solidified as it resonated with consumers' desires for meaningful interactions and memories in a digital world. This foundation set the stage for enduring B2C communications for years to come.
