Brand as a product, a symbol, and also an experience

Challenge

SwingCash is a mobile app rewarding users for spending time at participating bars and restaurants. In the crowded market, it is essential for a digital-first brand to offer a holistic experience to engage and delight users.

‍

Our approach

In addition to user research, our overall approach was rooted in branding strategies for true differentiation.

• Be bold – To help the brand stand out, we prepared to push everything really far.
• Stay true – A brand promise is to be taken seriously. We set out to create something that would still deliver that promise.
• Have fun – We aimed to design a visual experience that would not only cater to the preferences of the target audience but also communicate a sense a humor.

Solution highlights

Working with the SwingCash team, we designed a dynamic brand system that plays up the brand personality in all brand touchpoints.

A youthful identity

SwingCash’s new identity design centers on celebrating the vibrant nightlife in the city. A high-contrast and more vibrant color palette and light-hearted doodles are adopted to communicate the youthful and boundless energy of the target audience.
