<h2 class="h3">This one's for the kidz.</h2>
Sheetz For The Kidz is a Sheetz employee-driven charity that gives needy children something to celebrate over the holidays.

<h3 class="h6">LABEL & POSTER DESIGN</h3>
<p style="width: 50%;text-align:right;"> Since 1992, the organization has brought smiles to the faces of over 119,500 children living in the communities Sheetz serves. </p>
<p style="width: 50%;text-align:right;"> To help raise funds for the charity, we designed branded water bottle packaging to be sold in more than 600 Sheetz convenience stores. All water sales went directly to the charity. </p>
“This campaign with Tattoo Projects enables us not only to support Sheetz For The Kidz, but do something we practice through all of our marketing: tap into the voice of our customer. As usual, they surpassed our expectations on both asks.”

As Sheetz’s agency of record, we promoted the charity with compelling videos, opportunistic digital ads, heart-string tugging, sharable social content, and websites that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Sheetz’s mission is to give people time back to do more of the things they love. In honor of Global Pay It Forward Day, we helped Sheetz put their mission into action with the “Time Back” campaign.

<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0;font-size: 18px;line-height: 1.2;letter-spacing:1px;">SOCIAL LISTENING</h2>
Leveraging social listening tools, we scrubbed Sheetz social platforms to pinpoint Sheetz Freakz who had fallen on hard times.
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.5vw;font-size: 18px;line-height: 1.2;letter-spacing:1px;">RECIPIENT SELECTION</h2>
We then worked with the brand’s executive team to vet stories, select recipients, and donate unprecedented prizes to Sheetz fans who simply need some time back.
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0.5vw;font-size: 18px;line-height: 1.2;letter-spacing:1px;">MICROSITE DESIGN</h2>
We produced five beautiful videos of the in-person donations, telling each recipient’s story and showcasing their emotional reactions. On paid social, the videos drove visitors to a custom #TimeBack website, where we encouraged community members to pay it forward in their own lives.
