Branding | Product Launch | B2B Integrated Campaign

Small business owners don’t want chemistry lessons. They want clean spaces without the complications. The SimpleShot Chemical Dispensing System delivers exactly that. So did this campaign, with an artful use of color and headlines that turn product features into memorable promises.

Read the case study

When cleaning becomes beautifully uncomplicated.

Anchored by a bold, oversized lookbook, the campaign leaned into the system's intuitive color-coded design.

The color story adapted to every element.

SimpleShot Case Study

  • Walk into any small business supply closet and you’ll likely find chaos. A jumble of bottles, a tangle of tubes, and usually, no water hookup or proper electrical outlet. Cintas saw this mess and created SimpleShot. Our challenge was to show how fundamentally simpler cleaning could be.

  • Let the colors lead. Not because they’re pretty (though they are), but because they’re the first sign of SimpleShot's radical simplification. Each color tells you exactly what each dispenser does. But that’s just the start. No water hookup. No electricity. No complexity.

  • The small business owner doesn't want a chemistry lesson or have an engineering degree. They want clean spaces without the complications. SimpleShot delivers exactly that. So did our campaign.

    We built every element to mirror this elegant simplicity. The lookbook opens with splashes of color that grab you, then reveals how each design choice eliminates a complication. Our photography doesn't just show bottles, it showcases transformation. Before-and-after shots of supply closets tell the story without words – this is what organization looks like.

    From look book to demo kit, from email to social, every touchpoint reinforces the clear message that cleaning shouldn't be complicated. The transparent demo kit bag itself is crafted with the same thoughtful simplicity as its contents, shows rather than tells. Even the sales materials follow this principle – clear hierarchy, intuitive organization, no unnecessary flourishes.

    For small businesses, the advantage is undeniable – here’s a system that respects their needs instead of overwhelming them. A system that turns color into communication, complexity into clarity. SimpleShot doesn't just clean spaces, it cleans up the whole idea of what a cleaning system should be.
