ESCAPE ULTRA LOUNGE. A tribal ritual takes place every night in the urban landscape of Minneapolis. People gather, dance, and sweat, driven by passion and an unbreakable beat. A new club culture is emerging, and capturing its flavor was our assignment. We knew success, however, required something more: speaking in a relevant and distinctive voice to a media-savvy audience, and creating an authentic and exclusive dance club experience. We started as we always do: by exploring and collecting true expressions of our audience's culture. We then created a complete set of visual and linguistic elements and communications tools that have helped this new venue for the now time build awareness and loyalty practically overnight.

MODWARE
A VISION: to seed and grow an authentic subculture from the roots of PC gaming and the pervasive trend toward personally customized technology, gaining from every one of its manifestations. To do this,BRAND CORPS created strategic communications assets for its new brand called Modware. Our goal? To get inside audiences' heads and lifestyles to launch an industry. The solution encompassed language, narrative, aesthetics, and music that will be synergized across products, the web, television and print advertising, events, even fashion accessories and a lifestyle magazine. The language draws from the vernacular of pop/tech culture, and consists of a coherent set of linguistic elements that provide geek credibility, encourage group identification, and facilitate adaptation. The narrative is personified in a spokesperson that is seen as a streetwise, trusted authority. Aesthetics are expressed by a thoughtful system of icons, colors, imagery, and typography. Music completes the culture, and provides a soundtrack to the user's total customized computing space. Our chosen music reflects the sampling, mixing, layering, and improvisation that characterizes the gaming and web-surfing experience. BRAND CORPS, by putting all the pieces together, is helping to brand and establish an industry.
