NEW BRAND POSITION
The new positioning was inspired by the Tacorian family, who immigrated to California to find their American Dream. We wanted to express this spirit with a modern American Dream story that can be universally understood.

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
My team and I developed “She Is Tacori,” to bring the new brand positioning to life through lifestyle photography and visual storytelling. The campaign was built for digital. A new branded Instagram hashtag (#TacoriGirl) was engineered and we hired influencers who embodied “California Apsirational Luxury,” to activate this. On brand.com this also came to life across a newly redesigned responsive site blending content and commerce.

CONTENT STRATEGY
We branded select social assets with a logo water mark, engaged artists and influencers as well as photographed content to support the new brand positioning. This content lived on all social channels with Instagram as the focus.

CUSTOM TYPEFACE
All aspects of the graphic design were viewed as opportunities to support the brand positioning. Art Director (Jorge Balarezo) developed the base design for an original custom font we created for Tacori, that they now own in perpetuity.
