Emotional Product Experiences through Motion Design & Storytelling.
GRASS offers excellent motion design and turns the opening and closing of furniture into an experience. In this context the idea was born to use the possibilities of 3D content, animations and storytelling to create a unique and emotional brand experience across all touchpoints and channels.
GRASS strives for uniqueness in the furniture industry. With a special demand for quality and design, the company stands for subtle movements and animated stories that create a unique and emotional brand experience that stands out from the crowd.
The principle of "reduce to the max" applies to all brand touchpoints – reduce the design to the maximum in order to ensure simplicity and clarity. In this way, GRASS pursues the goal of generating emotions that excite customers and create a deep connection to the product.
Our holistic, agile strategy includes cross-media content productions, campaigns and landing pages that enable fast time-to-market.
This approach was first tested in a pilot project where we successfully implemented campaigns to activate customers and then incorporated the findings into the Digital Touchpoint. BSeamless and continuous meshing of the individual areas enabled us to make perfect use of synergies and ensure high efficiency. Through rapid testing and continuous improvements, we can constantly develop the brand in the digital realm.
The V8 drawer system is a global innovation. With an inspirational product landing page, we accelerated the product launch, tested initial market acceptance and thus achieved an optimal time-to-market medium MVP.
Product Staging and Scrollytelling Experience
The first phase started with impressive animations, an eye-catching minimalist design, a large-scale stage, and attention-grabbing stories through motion animation and storytelling.
Time To Market: Webflow Experience
Webflow is a tool that combines design and development in one intuitive platform. It allows responsive web designs without code, quick customizations and easy content management, which enabled the landing page to be realized in a very fast time-to-market.
The freedom of interaction between design, animation and development is unprecedented with Webflow. A unique pilot project for all subsequent product pages and a milestone for us that was rewarded with an Awwwards SOTD, among other things.
3D Animations
With CAD data from the design department the products were elaborately staged in 3D and its movements recreated with rig-based animations. In this way, even hidden details can be made visible.
Scrollytelling Animations
The 3D animations are coordinated with the other content and content elements on the page and react dynamically to scrolling or interaction. This gives users the feeling that they are executing the movements themselves.
Engaging Video
Almost all content elements allow the use of autoplay or responsive videos. Dynamic images can be used to convey even deeper impressions about the products or topics.
High-quality content and inspiring landing pages are equally the basis for further scaling awareness of the GRASS brand and its products. For this purpose, activating campaigns were launched under the guiding idea of Moved, Inspired and Made by GRASS. The goal was to increase general brand awareness in the first step and then to expand this further on a topic-specific basis.
Strong data basis for the future
Thanks to a well-founded strategy and the targeted measures of the campaign, we were able to reach a large user base in the first few weeks and successfully activate awareness of the GRASS brand by means of impressions. In addition to general brand awareness, further campaigns are aimed at setting up specific product-based conversion funnels and expanding these sustainably.
The global sales network of GRASS extends over 60 countries and 200 sales partners. To represent this dimension, an interactive globe was implemented. This enables intuitive navigation and optimizes the user experience.
The big challenge of this relaunch was to transform the core themes and values of the GRASS brand into the digital world. We have now managed to do justice to the premium claim of our products in the digital presence as well. The look and feel of the new website gives users a clear picture of what GRASS stands for.
