Discovery and Concept Development:

‍In the early stages of the project, we conducted thorough research into P-Lo's music, brand identity, and cultural background. Understanding the significance of the album release and P-Lo's commitment to his Bay Area upbringing as well as his Filipino heritage, we sought to create merch concepts that honored his roots while reflecting his unique style and persona. Drawing inspiration from P-Lo's music videos, lyrics, and personal aesthetics, we developed initial concepts for the collab tee and capsule collection.

Design Process:

‍We collaborated closely with P-Lo and his team to refine the initial concepts and bring the designs to life. Incorporating elements of Filipino culture, Bay Area imagery, and P-Lo's signature branding, we crafted visually striking graphics and typography treatments for the merch collection. The designs were bold, vibrant, and reflective of P-Lo's energetic persona, resonating with his dedicated fanbase while attracting new audiences.

Production and Pop-Up Event:

‍Once the designs were finalized, we coordinated with trusted manufacturing partners to produce the collab tee and capsule collection to the highest quality standards. Simultaneously, we worked with White Rice, a local Filipino-owned restaurant in San Diego, to organize a pop-up event coinciding with the album release. The pop-up event served as a platform to showcase the merch collection, celebrate P-Lo's music, and support a business that aligns with the artist's values and cultural heritage.

Results:

‍The P-Lo "STUNNA" album release merch collaboration and pop-up event were met with resounding success. Fans eagerly embraced the exclusive merch collection, with the collab tee and capsule selling out quickly both online and at the pop-up event with over 1000 RSVPs. The collaboration not only promoted P-Lo's album but also highlighted his commitment to celebrating his Filipino roots and supporting local businesses within his community. The pop-up event at White Rice garnered significant attention, further solidifying P-Lo's connection with his fanbase and amplifying his cultural impact.
