As the world adapted to the pandemic, French Toast, a brand traditionally centered around school uniforms, had to redefine its relevance. With students learning remotely, the challenge was not just about selling uniforms but supporting families in unprecedented times. The brand needed to pivot its messaging to reflect the changing landscape while staying true to its core mission. Key Messaging Shift: The campaign was built on three pillars: health, love, and peace of mind. Each value was represented by clean, impactful iconography—a plus sign for health, a heart for love, and dual symbols for peace of mind: a peace sign hand gesture and a piggy bank. The piggy bank symbolized the financial security offered through French Toast’s significant sales and discounts, helping families save during a time of economic uncertainty. This reflected French Toast's deep commitment to the well-being of its community. Key Initiatives: Free Washable Masks: French Toast provided free washable masks to every student, made from ultra-soft fabric for maximum comfort. This initiative not only addressed immediate health concerns but also showed families that the brand cared about their safety during these difficult times. Free Embroidery for Partner Schools: Schools that were part of the French Toast web stores were offered free embroidery services. This small but meaningful gesture strengthened the sense of community and school spirit during a time when many felt disconnected. Digital Resource Hub: To support both at-home and in-school learning, French Toast launched a digital resource hub filled with learning tools and wellness resources. This platform ensured that students could thrive, no matter their learning environment. Uniform Donations: Over $500,000 worth of uniforms were donated to students across the country, offering direct relief to families struggling during the pandemic. Sustainability and Style: Collaborations with influencers demonstrated how school uniforms could be styled beyond the classroom, tapping into streetwear and the “Gossip Girl” aesthetic. By emphasizing versatility and sustainability, French Toast presented uniforms as adaptable pieces for everyday life. Feel-Good Mask Campaign: To foster creativity and connection, French Toast encouraged students to personalize their masks and share their designs on social media. This initiative created a sense of community and empowerment, with participants tagging French Toast to proudly display their creations. The campaign boosted engagement and brand visibility while allowing students to express themselves in a fun and meaningful way. Showroom Design: To bring the campaign’s spirit to life, French Toast developed an immersive showroom design. Cut-outs of kids in school uniforms, styled with streetwear-inspired layers, floated on clouds, embodying freedom and individuality. On one side, a girl stood in front of a melting rainbow, while on the other, a boy leapt into a large rainbow cut-out. This rainbow extended as a wall decal, leading to a sustainability-themed section with the message: "A Brighter Future for All. People, Planet, Positivity." The design wasn’t just visually striking—it was emotionally charged. Bright colors were used throughout to uplift and energize visitors, helping ease the emotional toll of long periods of isolation. The space was crafted to make people feel good as they returned to the office after challenging stay-at-home times, addressing both the fear of leaving home and the fatigue of being stuck there. Results: The Health, Love, and Peace of Mind campaign not only provided practical support to families but also elevated French Toast's connection with its audience. The campaign's engaging initiatives boosted brand visibility, drove social media interaction, and strengthened French Toast’s role as a supportive, forward-thinking partner for students and parents alike. This groundwork laid the foundation for future successes, including the #B2STogether campaign, ensuring the brand remained relevant, empathetic, and ready to meet the evolving needs of its community.
