Unlock the Impossible Brand & Logo Story
Warn Industries, preparing to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2023, was looking to engage its customer and fan audiences in a way that helped to bring awareness to the milestone and generate excitement for the future.
After working internally to develop a logo mark, marketing video and commemorative product, they realized they needed help building a social media campaign to promote the anniversary, marketing video and commemorative product giveaway They had the substance but needed help creating a campaign identity and marketing plan and additional support to launch and manage the social media campaign– that’s when they approached HAVEN Creative to help bring the campaign to life.

To create an engaging social media contest that celebrates the last 75 years and excites Warn’s audience for the next 75 years to come. This was accomplished through a campaign logo, landing page, and social media posts.
Our project began in early June with the simultaneous development of the campaign plan and overall campaign message Once we established the campaign timeline and giveaway cadence, our team worked backward to set a campaign launch plan. When “Unlock the Impossible“ was chosen as the message, we started building the Hubspot infrastructure, including landing page, collection forms and inbound marketing automation.
Our design team created the campaign logo and the subsequent designs that were used on the landing page and social media, and we were ready for launch! The campaign launched at the beginning of July. We posted regularly on Facebook and Instagram, mixing static imagery and video content to push Warn fans to enter via warncontest.com. We also used winner announcement posts to drive even more traffic to the page and additional submissions.
STEP STEP STEP THREEThrough conversations with the Warn marketing team, several goals were identified to help guide the work and results moving forward S M A R T stands for “Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.”

Before Warn, the impossible was untouchable. Offroading was defined by what was and not what could be. We believe the word “cannot” is temporary and for 75 years, we set the standard and held the bar, turning impossible to the new norm. And we ' re not done yet. The winches and off-roading gear of today are old news and we ' re already hard at work designing gear that will help unlock today's "impossible."
