Interactive
Our idea for the campaign was based upon an abstract motif we call “The Story of a Single Pitch.” This includes the batter and hitter, an outfielder, and, of course, a fan. It was important to us to incorporate visual representations of fans since they are such a large part of the big picture. In our written concept stage, we outlined the website and how we would execute the story of a single pitch, including visual references of the proposed photography style.
The homepage features “The Story of a Single Pitch.” The inside pages each have an individual player/fan debuting a different uniform and revealing the story behind each logo. We started by creating wireframes of the proposed interface. We then created the storyboards, outlining various poses and how they would work together on various site pages.
Photography
The cool new uniforms begged for outstanding photography. We sketched different poses and prepared for the big day in the studio. The initial shoot took place at Coca-Cola Park and everyone had a great time. Some of the Iron Pigs employees even had a chance to model!
Social Media Sensation
Within the first 48 hours of launch, the #smellthechange campaign went viral. The campaign landed on a number of high-profile websites, such as Mashable, ESPN and GQ. The response from the public was immediate. According to the IronPigs Twitter page, the ‘bacon’ hat design has shipped to all 50 states and 4 continents!
