Minot Candles

Building a complete brand communication system across photography, marketing, and social content.

Building a complete brand communication system across photography, marketing, and social content.

DELIVERABLES

  • 3 lifestyle photoshoots (200+ assets)

  • Modular email template system in Klaviyo

  • Pinterest and Instagram template library in Canva

CHALLENGE

Minot needed lifestyle photography that positioned their candles as part of a curated life, not sterile product shots. Beyond that, they lacked a cohesive system to communicate consistently across email and social; every campaign required starting from scratch.

MY ROLE

Under Melody's creative direction, I shot three lifestyle campaigns, designed a modular email template system in Klaviyo, and built social media templates for Pinterest and Instagram.

MARKETING DESIGN

Email Template System

We wanted to create a system where Minot's marketing team could mix and match template blocks in Klayvio to create categorized Minot's emails into three types: product story-driven, collection/themed, and sales/text-based. I analyzed their previous correspondence and brand guidelines and gathered inspiration that felt true to their visual patterns, then wireframed in Figma before creating the Klayvio templates.

PRODUCT/STORY DRIVEN

Leading with strong product imagery, and designed to feel editorial, this email template was crafted to tell the story behind the scent. I alternated between full-width hero images and split layouts to keep the scroll engaging, using embossed textures to echo the tactile quality of Minot's packaging.

SOCIAL MEDIA DESIGN

Social Media Templates

The template system breaks down into four content types, each designed to serve a specific purpose while maintaining visual cohesion.

EDUCATIONAL CONTENT

Clean card layouts and warm candlelit imagery make instructional content feel approachable and on-brand.

SUMMARY

Everly went from forgettable to unmistakable. The brand now carries weight — visually and verbally. It feels sharp, fast, and self-aware. It sounds like a team that knows who they are and who they’re building for.

The final delivery included full naming, brand strategy, visual identity, messaging, type system, and guidelines. Their new website now acts as both a sales tool and brand moment. Internally, the identity helped align the team around a clear story. Externally, it finally gave Everly the presence they were missinng.
