Merch that meant something.
A look at what we've made for organisations across the DMV - and the thinking behind every piece.
NONPROFIT / GALA CAMPAIGN
Donor gift sets that got kept, not discarded.
A DC-based advocacy nonprofit needed premium donor recognition gifts for their annual gala. The brief: something that would sit on a desk, not end up in a bag of branded clutter. We curated a set of RPET-material notebooks, a locally-made candle, and a premium tote - all branded with a campaign-specific wordmark, not just a logo.
Result: 94% of attendees reported still having their gift set 6 months later.
SPORTS TEAM / SEASONAL KIT
A full-season kit for a DC Fray basketball team.
A recreational basketball team wanted to show up looking like a real team without a professional sports budget. We designed custom reversible jerseys with sublimated numbers, a warmup shirt, and a sponsor logo integration - delivered in three weeks, within a $1,200 total budget.
The team re-ordered for the following two seasons.
TRADE ASSOCIATION / MEMBER CAMPAIGN
Member merchandise that made people proud to belong.
A DMV-based professional association wanted to launch a member merchandise programme to drive renewal and engagement. We built a curated range of 8 items - from premium caps to branded Moleskine journals - all available through a simple ordering process. Member satisfaction scores for the programme hit 91%.
SMALL BUSINESS / BRAND LAUNCH
A brand launch kit for a woman-owned DC restaurant.
A new restaurant in Northeast DC needed branded merchandise that could serve as both staff uniforms and retail merchandise at the front counter. We developed embroidered aprons, custom staff caps, and a branded tote bag series using suppliers from the local DMV maker community - reinforcing the restaurant's community-first story at every touchpoint.
