“That’s At the Center” Commercials

A name change and a rebrand made a creative and noticeable launch absolutely necessary for a shop with a family heritage of over 50 years.

As part of an extensive rebrand project, [atc] commissioned Timbuktoons to produce a series of six 30 second internet commercials.

The commercial campaign entitled “That’s [atc]” served a dual purpose of establishing the new trade dress and brandmark of the company as well as reinforcing their key brand messaging. Each commercial focused on one key brand message and attribute customers could experience “at the center.”
