Approach
One idea, adapted by channel
Period context
Company revenue +30% · templates coincided with ~40% fewer revisions
Challenge

Move quickly without fragmenting the brand.

Weekly and seasonal promotions had to stay recognizably RuffleButts across storefront, inbox, and social.

Design response

Adapt the campaign, not just the size.

I preserved offer hierarchy, imagery, color, and voice while rebuilding composition for each placement.

Result

Consistent creative at retail pace.

During the contract, RuffleButts recorded more than 30% revenue growth; consistent campaign templates coincided with approximately 40% fewer revision requests.

My role: Contract Marketing Graphic Designer for campaign design, responsive layouts, image selection and production, typography, and channel adaptation.

Responsive merchandising

Campaign layouts for desktop and mobile.

I adjusted the layouts for each screen size, keeping the offer and products prominent.

Channel adaptation

Different channels. Different jobs.

Email unfolds the story; social compresses it. Both retain one campaign voice.

EmailOffer, product, urgency, action

Long-form email moves from the primary offer through supporting products and repeated action.
