Merton Way’s task? Differentiate a brand built by developers for developers. Show and tell how bold and leading edge Shopizer truly is.
The Work
Preserving the essence of the original logo, Merton Way re-cast the overall spirit of Shopizer to appeal to ecomm developers. These are very special specialists: smart, quirky, savvy to both business and design.

The Win
The new brand and website increased downloads from Github within days of re-launching. The agency’s site came pre-loaded with search engine optimization: copy was based on keywords, and images, tags, and page descriptions were good to go on Day 1.
How did the agency move the cheese from bland to bold? Because its client, Shopizer, dared to re-define itself and focus on the personas of its customers. Buzz is everything in this niche. The client’s openness will ensure its relevancy to ecommerce’s leading-edge development community.
