from strategy to merch production

The challenge

Cut through a technical crowd.

A crowded conference. BSides is full of technical people and technical stands, so standing out takes more than a banner.

An exclusive activation. Redacted wanted the Black Bag Experience to feel like a must-attend event in its own right.

Many pieces, one look. Strategy, design, web and merchandise all had to land together.

What we did

Give it a personality.

We treated the Black Bag Experience as its own brand, then built everything around it.

Approach
01

Strategy and pages

A promotion strategy and custom landing pages to drive registrations before the conference.

Approach
02

A character people remember

A unique illustrated character and event logo that became the face of the activation.

Approach
03

Merch, made properly

We designed the collateral and managed merchandise manufacturing from start to finish.

From the library

Forty teams, three days.
