Organic Growth in Play...

In close competition with Smyths and Argos, The Entertainer tasked us with identifying a new approach to Organic which could take this iconic toy retailer to new heights.

To achieve this, we had to think outside of the (toy) box. Whilst competitors benefitted from an impressive depth of product, they suffered from a lack of information architecture to guide the customer to value.

The game was afoot.
