Eugene Riconneaus

The goal of this project is to revive the marketing strategy for Eugene Riconneaus through designing a full marketing plan, key strategies, positioning, marketing channels, tactics & activities and measure of success.

A key issue tackled in this project is the balancing between two of Eugene's brands, one being his namesake 'Eugene Riconneaus' for women's shoe wear, and other being 'UNDUN' specifically catering to the men's skateboarding community. Being two brands with such different identities and target audiences, a fundamental question within this project was the consideration of forming an umbrella brand in hopes to bring the two together. 

Forming an umbrella brand named, Ecru, with a combination of the two brand identities of Eugene Riconneaus as well as UNDUN. As the two brands have very different customer bases, we believe that it would be a good idea to combine the two in order to collectively increase it’s consumer base as well as have a stronger, more united brand DNA with a clearer focus.
