Objective.

To transform Vera Bradley into a modern, multi-generational brand while staying true to its roots of quality, expression, and tradition.

My Role

  • Group Leader: I took the lead in organizing and motivating the team, ensuring deadlines were met and the campaign was cohesive across all aspects.

  • Creative Visionary: I developed the big idea for the campaign, "With You Through Every Generation," which became the cornerstone of our strategy.

  • Social Media Strategist: I spearheaded the revamp of Vera Bradley’s social media presence, creating concepts for Instagram and TikTok that modernized the brand and engaged new audiences.

Our Approach

  • Consumer Insights: Identified perceptions of the brand as outdated and “stuck in 2015,” leading to strategic updates in patterns, designs, and branding to bridge tradition with modernism.

  • Creative Strategy: Developed the campaign theme, “With You Through Every Generation,” emphasizing timeless connections and multi-generational appeal.

  • Target Expansion: Introduced a dual-audience approach targeting both long-time customers and a new, younger demographic.
