Ecommerce growth

Established in 2019, Ankorstore, a pioneering wholesale online marketplace, aspires to simplify the process of launching a shop, akin to creating a website. Functioning as a dynamic platform, it fosters connections between independent retailers and brands, boasting a network of approximately 250,000 retailers and over 20,000 brands.

About ANKORSTORE

Embarking on a transformative journey, Ankorstore collaborated with Pentagram partner Angus Hyland and his team to craft a new strategy and brand identity framework. This strategic initiative not only aims to elevate Ankorstore’s visibility but also aligns with its ambitious future endeavors. At its core, the strategy revolves around the concept of ‘rewilding retail,’ fostering a symbiotic ecosystem that mutually benefits retailers and brands.

The challenge

The revitalized visual style incorporates a versatile color palette, featuring clean brights and pastels arranged in diverse combinations. Product photography takes center stage, skillfully capturing the unique personality of each brand. Notably, the 3D objects are artfully presented in clusters across various categories, fostering a dynamic blend. A key facet of the visual identity is the concept of ‘augmented retail,’ seamlessly integrating 3D objects into real-world environments such as retailers’ shops or brand spaces. This innovative approach promises a visually immersive experience, aligning seamlessly with Ankorstore’s forward-thinking ethos.
