The OX process began by getting up close and personal, visiting the urban farms where local farmers grow vegetables to be sent throughout Chicagoland, observationally gathering data about the heart and soul of the emerging brand. Next, strategic exploration identified the venture’s primary customer and their key values. Target established, OX moved forward with a collaborative name-generation exercise, designed to find a name that expressed the unique value proposition of “urban farm to urban table.” The result? City Fields.

BRIEF:
01– The OX process began by getting up close and personal, visiting the urban farms themselves, and observationally gathering data about the heart and soul of the emerging brand. Next, strategic exploration identified the venture’s primary customer and their key values.
Target established, OX moved forward with a collaborative name-generation exercise, designed to find a name that expressed the unique value proposition of “urban farm to urban table.” The result? City Fields.
BRAND VIDEO:
02– To launch City Fields’ public presence, OX created a fun, quirky brand video. Beginning with storyboards, and working through animation, sound design, and a custom score, the video expressed the simple, but powerful model of the “urban farm to urban table” concept.

SOCIAL + WEB:
04– Next, OX built an intuitive e-commerce site and a compelling social campaign to effectively engage City Fields’ target audience. In design, we further explored the simple but vibrant designs established by the logo, and kept the tone youthful with a deep bench of vegetable puns for use in captions (puns are one of our design team’s core competencies… ). Some of our favorites? “Lettuce tell you about this week’s featured produce!” And “Don’t kale my vibe…”
PHOTOGRAPHY:
05– To support the graphically-based social content, OX shot a series of product photographs, using real-life produce to recreate the bold shapes and color blocking inherent throughout the brand. The photos gave a fresh, market-leading look to the already standout brand.
