/ PROJECT: FRICTION

The Friction Pivot

A complete strategic overhaul for a venture-backed founder, replacing soft corporate positioning with aggressive, high-stakes creative authority that forced competitors to react.

THE OVERHAUL

An Industry Forced to React

We bypassed traditional agency bureaucracy to execute a rapid market pivot. By introducing calculated strategic friction, we established immediate authority in a stagnating category.

01 / DIRECT

Deconstructing the Stagnation

Direct director-to-founder collaboration. No account teams, no diluted concepts, just raw strategic execution built for speed.

When a category stagnates, the safest move is to become the antagonist. We designed a confrontational market stance that forced every competitor to defend their legacy models.

THE SYSTEM

Stark Visual Identity

A heavy grotesque typographic system paired with high-contrast street-level media. Designed not to blend into the environment, but to actively disrupt it.
