From Humdrum
to Hollywood

Evolving the AT&T Retail Store Experience

We design every experience, regardless of the user, the scale, the technology, or
the KPI, to provoke a response. There are three ways to make this happen:

Inspire Provoke curiosity, compel interaction, suspend time, shift mindsets. 

Inform Tell the story, empower the user, create meaning, provide value. 

Connect Instill trust, establish relevance, show empathy, extend the experience. 

 We combine these elements in varying amounts to accomplish the specific business goal.

The Home Depot Style Guide

This interactive magazine drives in-store sales with out-of-store inspiration using beautiful photography, expert opinions, and a user-friendly interface. Instructional videos and lists along with user polls and feedback allow users to become both students and teachers. An augmented reality feature helps them visualize completed projects in their own homes. Orders can be placed directly from the app, or users can generate a shopping list for a store visit.

Why just sell materials when you can sell the projects themselves? At the Solution Center, customers are inspired to think beyond their shopping list. 

Solution 
Center

Digital signage pulls in customers on a mission with beautiful photography and bite-sized descriptions. Interactive tablets provide DIY inspiration, easy-to-follow instructions, shopping lists, directions on where to find the materials in store, or the ability to call in a pro to help out. Digital games keep the kids engaged while mom and dad shop.

Smarter Home 
Area

There can be a strong barrier-to-entry in the Internet of Things category—customers are often intimidated by what seems to be complicated, extravagant technology. We simplified the approach through interactive storytelling that focused on customers’ lives, not the technology.

Empowering customers before they enter the store 

The Tempur-Pedic 
App

With 13 mattress styles to choose from, buying a Tempur-Pedic bed (the most recommended in America) can be a challenge for even the most motivated customer. Our retail strategy emphasized a marketing outreach that would prepare the customer for an in-store visit and accelerate their path to purchase. The tablet tool bridges the brick-and-mortar gap by providing easy to understand product differentiation with infographics, animations, and video.

    It takes customers time to understand the differences between Tempur-Pedic mattresses, but it takes just a few minutes of lying on a mattress to decide if it’s right for you. This app allows customers to study the information before visiting the store, accelerating the path to purchase.

  • AT&T | Retail Holiday Campaign

    Part of our complete holiday change out, this spot brought to life the “Magical Gifts” theme that worked across every store application. We shot this over five days on a Brooklyn sound stage.

    At the Smithsonian's Freer Sackler museum, the most interesting stories are hidden, concealed behind glass. We created a beacon-based, augmented reality experience designed to personally curate a visitor's journey through time and place.

  • AT&T | Store Entry

    To welcome shoppers into AT&T's Store of the Future, we avoided the hard sell and eased their transition with atmospheric and lifestyle imagery.

  • Chevron | Episodic Content

    Chevron mounted an ambitious campaign to turn kids on to the idea of pursuing an education in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math—or STEM. We created a series of episodes that focused on 12-14 year olds.

  • AT&T | Retail Episodic Content

    As part of our launch of the AT&T in-store network, we created an episodic series featuring Kayla, a Pinterest influencer who lives out a glamorous tech-lifestyle. Part of a cross-platform, ongoing advertising campaign.

    Andersen needed a way for customer reps at their trade show to help visitors explore the new line and understand their new ‘VeriLock’ remote app. We created this interactive product demo.

    Used in trade shows and sales visits, this video showcased multiple Verifone mobile point-of sale devices, including various merchant use cases.

  • AT&T | Window Display

    To promote The Chicago Institute of Art's selection as the most popular art museum in the world, we designed and developed the "My Chicago, My Masterpiece" installation. Paintings from the museum collection are synchronously displayed on 75 Samsung phones and tablets.

  • TRACED | Rapid Prototype

    Twenty-four hours at the Developer Summit Hackathon resulted in TRACED, a self-contained smartwatch app, which allows users to create and share location-based journeys and destinations using custom map data enriched by audio, video, and photography.
