Reverse Engineer Brand

Woolrich hunting toggery is a company that sells hunting gear and other equipment. They are a company that caters to hunting folks who love to go hunting. The brand is connecting to these types of people because they are the ones who will be trudging through the snow after hitting their target. It also shows responsibility for packing out the animal that you kill so that it doesn't go to waste. They are using the seascape principles of belonging to a bigger group to feel included. They are using the visual and presentation principles to show how they are belonging to the whole. The first principle I wanted to dive into was that of color. The color starts on the left of the picture, with it being dark.

The "Share a Coke" social media ad campaign was arguably the best social media campaign of the 2015 year. It was great for so many reasons. I will go through a few reasons based off of what is called the "Seascape principles". Presentation: The status updates and pictures that we choose to share or not share are all filtered through how it will make us look to others. This is extremely important to companies who have a presence on social media. We need to always remember that we are always being perceived differently based on our presentation. Coke is doing this by making sure that the slogan and message and pictures they put up are not going to be interpreted badly. Value: The value principle is the "why". Why should we follow this, why did they introduce it in the first place, why should we care? The value of coke doing this ad campaign is that they were able to let the customers have a sense of belonging with the brand. They shared the messages themse...
