COLD WORLD FROZEN GOODS CREAMERY
THE CONCEPT To d a y, t h e w o r l d i s a b i g p l a c e . T h e r e ’s s o m u c h o f e v e r y t h i n g t h a t i t ’s h a r d f o r a n y o n e o r a n y t h i n g t o s t a n d o u t o f t h e c r o w d . In a society where consumerism is king, and competition raises the standards of every brand, a common question for the customer is “what else?” Maybe not verbatim, but they want that something extra almost intuitively. C o l d Wo r l d F r o z e n G o o d s C r e a m e r y a i m s t o p r o v i d e i t s shoppers with an experience connecting two fun things: Clothing and Ice Cream, which you can’t get anywhere else. T h e s h o p p e r ’s e x p e r i e n c e r e v o l v e s a r o u n d r e c e i v i n g t h e b r a n d ’s lax, graphically inclined attitude in various ways.
The first location would be in Malibu, a beach city in western Los Angeles County, California. The Ice Creamery is within walking distance from both the beach and the skate park. It is located along the boardwalk where tourists often pass. This is the perfect first location as there is a never-ending need for ice cream during a warm sunny day — especially at the beach.
PROPOSED LOCATION M A L I BU, C A L I F O R N I A
By using Malibu as the first location, it defines its target market as individuals who embody a chill lifestyle. Often these individuals are in the underground scene, but as it is an ice cream shop, the market is expanded to families, tourists, and groups of friends looking for a place to hang out.
POSSIBLE EXPANSIONS

Chills from the inside out, see what keeps this bunny so cold.
This is the best tasting mud ever. Just try not to look like you rolled around in it.
What we think it would taste like to bite a glacier.
The only pain you will feel is a brain freeze when you can’t eat it fast enough.

These approaches will appear more like forms of street art or underground promotion that will sneak up in the most accessible, approachable of places. Guerrilla marketing is going to serve as a main type of inspiration for these methods, as its informality is approachable and easily observed.
