The brief: 

Develop a brand and digital platform from the ground up for the launch of the People’s Supermarket, part of a series of documentaries for Channel 4.

Our response: 

Create an accessible brand that reflects the ideals of the supermarket, develop a social media programme to drive interest and recruit members at a local level to set them on their journey to opening.

The details: 

Commissioned for a series by Channel 4, the People’s Supermarket is a not-for-profit co-operative which sought 2,000 members to donate 4 hours of their time per month to work in-store in return for a dividend, discounted food and a say in the supermarket’s operation.

The idea was the brainchild of Arthur Potts, TV chef and eco-food visionary.

With a limited budget we created a visual identity and developed a story that would reach out to investors and members alike and begin the online funding drive.

The lowdown: 

Digital Strategy, Brand look and feel, Website Design, Social Media channels and Teaser Campaign; oh and stack some shelves.

The highlights: 
  • Arthur securing funding & the keys to the Lambs Conduit Street store
  • 1000's of positive responses from bloggers and journalists
  • Launch membership targets reached
  • Channel 4 viewing figures exceeding all expectations
  • Seeing The People's Supermarket win numerous ethical awards - well done guys!
