Rite Aid Rebrand - 360 Campaign

Rite Aid wanted to move into the wellness and alternative medicine space, but getting the entire organization to shift was going to take years. I was able to rally Rite Aid’s marketing department, social marketers, C-Suite, store managers, external agencies and my Havas team behind a platform idea and visual execution that led Rite Aid into a new direction, one that gave people the impression that Rite Aid was for a younger consumer and there were some big changes happening. But it couldn’t be all fluff. I knew there had to be truth to this change, so I got Rite Aid to focus on quickly retraining their pharmacists in holistic medicine and made them the cornerstone of the campaign.
