    Tough Cleaner, Smart Brand: How Blue Wolf Cleaned Up at Retail

    The Challenge

    Tough cleaner, fragmented brand. Blue Wolf had the product power—born in the coal mines—but lacked the unified brand presence to grow beyond its strongholds. With inconsistent visuals and disconnected messaging, it couldn’t scale across retail environments from small-town hardware stores to national chains. It needed a brand that could clean up in every market.

    Our Strategy

    Build a rugged, retail-ready brand—designed for scale.

    • Build a rugged, retail-ready brand—designed for scale.
    • Brand Identity Refresh Developed a tougher, modern look that maintained Blue Wolf’s grit while scaling cleanly across packaging, print, and digital.
    • Website Overhaul Created a streamlined, B2B/B2C-friendly site to showcase product range and strength.
    • “A Breed Apart” Campaign Rolled out a story-led campaign across print, social, animation, radio, and POS to highlight origin and power.
    • Retail Activation Engineered displays, signage, and shelf-ready kits that grabbed attention—and worked everywhere.
    The Results

    Hardworking marketing that actually works.

    • Brand Consistency at Scale Seamless identity across 3,000+ potential shelf formats—from gas stations to national retailers.
    • Sales Lift Where Activated Double-digit sell-through spikes in core markets.
    • Retail Footprint Expansion New shelf space earned in independents and regionals.
    • Toolkits for Local Flexibility Templates reps could adapt—without breaking brand.
    • New Audiences Reached Broadened appeal from industrial users to residential and small business customers.
    Why It Matters

    In multi-location retail, you don’t get to introduce yourself—you have to show up already looking the part. We helped Blue Wolf do exactly that: brand consistency, local adaptability, and the kind of retail punch that sells.
