THE CHALLENGE
Often store construction precedes opening by several months, stores are shielded by barricades, generating no excitement, no value and not engaging their community. Kate Spade asked The Science Project to create an exciting program to capitalize on mall storefronts that were still under construction so that they could go to market in each local community, collecting data, establish direct marketing channels and have new conversations with their perspective customers.
THE SOLUTION
This solution was a breakthrough success. Kate Spade Barricades won several awards and set the standard for how to engage a local community even before the store opened. The Science Project worked closely with one of the great teams of all time to concept and build the scalable, transportable barricades as well as complementary social and data strategy. The platform eventually visited 7 stores across the country.
