PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: HEADWEAR
PAYETTEHATS One of Boise’s greatest start-up stories of the last decade is Payette Brewing. Off the back of their success, undoubted hard work & great beer, they recently relocated to a brand spanking new facility. They have a new bar, huge new production equipment – and a fantastic swag store. Everything was in place except Some super-dope new hats. We were delighted they chose NBP to design and manufacture their headwear line. Our creative lead, Kiel Johnson, worked to create a series of hats that bring attention to their ever increasing line-up.
A comment from Rhys:
Promo is about so much more than just placing a logo on a product, often the shortcoming of a big-boot online vendors. Take these hats. We’ve all seen quality headwear – and, well, limp headwear. At NBP we feel picking the right product is key, however, on this project we asked ourselves if by adding variety to the line-up “would allow the merchandise line to look more robust”. We suggested a series of different hats, fused them with multiple design options and BOOM - Payette created a merchandise line that their target audience craves to wear.

Capping the trip off, NBP learnt off the back of our creativity, we won our game day giveaways, for the NBA! NBA to NBP... BOOM!!!

We are bound to others past and present. And by each crime and every kindness we birth our future.” Cloud Atlas SARA: All my favorite movie quotes are currently from Deadpool, thus inappropriate.

STEVE: Clean the office on the weekend. SARA: Everything. Would you rather be a tiny elephant, or a giant hamster? STEVE: Yes. SARA: Tiny elephant.
