After researching the competition, what approaches are being used in the space, and taking the global pandemic into consideration, we developed these strategy points.

Let's Be Real
A lot of the current marketing around baby gear skews emotional or aspirational. Let's create a campaign that shows a more relatable, honest, and maybe even slightly humorous depiction of parenthood while showcasing the product.

Reframe the Product
During the peak of the global pandemic, everyone has shifted their focus from travel and the use of mass transit. We have an opportunity to redefine why the compact stroller is relative to everyday life, close to home.

Be Specific
Instead of trying to do it all, let’s focus our efforts on a couple of key things that make Metro+ a standout in its category and push those to the forefront of our messaging.

After reading articles, scientific papers, joining online parenting groups, scouring forums, and watching Youtube reviews and vlogs from all over the world, we came up with these insights.

01 — Parents all over the world are more connected now and they openly share information and personal experiences with each other. What aspects of strollers are they most concerned about?

02 — Baby talk is a universal language! That's right folks, anywhere in the world, babies sound the same. How can we use it to give us flexibility with communicating to an international audience?

03 — The most important people aren’t part of the conversations around parenting gear—the babies! How can we feature cute little humans in an unexpected way?

The campaign concept “We’re fluent in comfort.” uses language to connect Ergobaby’s expertise in designing for comfort, their understanding of ergonomics for babies, and their international presence in the baby gear market. We led with baby babble as a cheeky messaging device and used its translation as a flexible space for interchangeable copy. No matter the language or the size of the media, the babble can adapt.

With the help of the Ergobaby team and Shark Pig productions, we created videos where we interviewed the experts (the babies!) about their experience with the Metro+ Compact City Stroller, while highlighting the stroller's features.
