“People who learn to enjoy their work, who do not waste their free time, end up feeling like their lives as a whole have become much more worthwhile.”

…and much more meaningful.

    Cannes Bronze Lion - MLB #PonleAcento Campaign

    June 2017 | Cannes Creativity Festival 2017

    Grand Clio Award - MLB #PonleAcento Campaign

    May 2017 | Clio Awards 17

  • SITUATION:

    MLB was looking for a way to reach Latino fans in a culturally relevant way.

  • PROBLEM:

    Latinos represented 27% of MLB players and over 16M Latinos were casual fans. But with low attendance numbers, the math wasn’t adding up.

  • CONSUMER:

    This fan base was extremely passionate about everything in life—soaking in every moment. They centered their lives around interactions and activities with loved ones. In a sense, they could be the ideal fan….but their passion for baseball was missing.

  • RESOLUTION:

    Turn a fan base into fandom by celebrating Latinos’ contribution to the sport.

  • MESSAGING STRATEGY:

    The legend is yours. Own it.

  • CREATIVE CAMPAIGN:

    Ponle Acento. (Put an accent on it.)

  • SITUATION:

    Jack Daniels is one of the most iconic American brands—and as such, they were struggling to reach Latinos in a meaningful way.

  • CONSUMER:

    As an archetypal Everyman, Latino whiskey drinkers were social butterflies who used their networking skills to bring people together. They were constantly looking for new experiences (and new drinks) to add to their cred as unique individuals who could blend into any crowd.

  • PROBLEM:

    As an archetypal Outlaw, Jack’s rebel-without-a-cause perception just doesn't get through to a consumer who places personal bonds over everything else. We needed to resolve a core tension between independence and belonging.

  • RESOLUTION:

    Going against the grain together creates unbreakable bonds.

  • MESSAGING STRATEGY:

    Break rules together, comrades forever.

  • CREATIVE CAMPAIGN:

    Haz Lo Que Nunca. (Do the never done.)

  • SITUATION:

    Bass Pro Shops realized that there were many Latino Outdoorsmen and women—but they had never spoken to them before.

  • BRAND:

    With a passion for Hemmingway’s “the great good place,” Bass Pro Shops promotes a sense of honesty, shares a love for purity in nature, celebrates the continuity of life, and are proud to keep things simple. As an archetypal Innocent they were happy to do good—even when no one was looking.

  • CONSUMER:

    Latino Outdoorsmen were rooted in fearlessness, self-reliance, authenticity, and discovery. As archetypal Explorers, their love for the outdoors was an active one—centered around conquering nature.

  • INSIGHT:

    Latino Outdoorsmen seek to conquer challenge after challenge, and are changed by the process.

  • MESSAGING STRATEGY:

    Follow Nature’s Course.

  • FOLLOW NATURES COURSE

    Nature is powerful. You can’t force it. You can’t control it. You can’t demand from it. Because Nature is a force within itself. You can’t conquer it, it conquers you. Follow it to see where it will take you.

360 BRANDING

“For it is precisely when a force has fallen into harm’s way that it is capable of striking a blow for victory.”

—The Art of War, Sun Tzu

inspiration

June 6, 1944, allied forces sent 160,000 troops to the coast of Normandy with one mission: victory over Nazi Germany. The troops faced heavily fortified land ahead of them and an ocean behind them. There was nowhere to retreat, and nowhere to go but forward. They truly were on deadly ground.

Some of the most interesting and untold stories about D-Day occurred quietly in the background. At the same time troops were storming the beaches, American paratroopers were dropped behind enemy lines, with no chance for rescue if the beach invasion failed. On the eve of the drop, a dense fog covered the skies and critical drop zones were missed, causing a massive disaster. Survivors not only lost their fellow men, but critical supplies and arms were gone as well. It was up to them alone to recover, regroup, and move forward—and that’s what they did. Both divisions involved in the drop formed improvised squads and accomplished their mission.

That day American ingenuity triumphed over chaos—and that’s what TRIARC aims to do as well. Our mantra, our purpose, and our heart revolve around PUSHING FORWARD.

MANIFESTO

A rifleman's work gun is his closest companion and extension of self—it is the mainstay of past and present wars. And the great men of American history realized that in war, there are no rules. One must go into deadly ground with no-holds-barred if he wants to come out alive. When seemingly insurmountable forces stood in their way, they knew there was nowhere to go but forward. TRIARC converges these traditions with extensive trial and research to arm users with functionally innovative weapon systems. Ultimately, TRIARC builds tools that empower individuals to keep pushing forward.
