Babe Original Website
Posted byBabe Original Rebrand
Posted byBabe Lash brand created a loyal following around an amazing lash serum that frankly just worked. Over the years, they added an arsenal of performance cosmetics (cosmetics that all have lasting results). As the brand grew, so did their loyal following. However, their product architecture and positioning became fragmented as they added more non-lash products. Hint led Babe Lash through a full brand refresh, starting with strategy, a gradual visual update in 2021, which culminated in a comprehensive rename and rebrand, launched in mid 2022.
Our approach was based on 3 areas of focus:
1. Establish a strategic brand platform that embodies their core values of originality, confidence, inclusion, and effectiveness.
2. Overhaul their product architecture and naming.
3. Establish a cohesive look and feel to fully express their brand platform.
The gradual update saw immediate results:
– 133% Increase in sales YOY, for the month the first campaign launched
– 236% Growth Overall in 2021
– 124% Increase in First Time Customers Q3 2021 YOY
– 300% Increase in Returning Customers Q3 2021 YOY

The Westgate Hotel Website
Posted byLocated on the edge of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, The Westgate Hotel is a practically untouched 1970s interpretation of the legendary Palace of Versailles. Its distinctively European ambiance is conjured by French antiques, Flemish and French tapestries, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, exquisite French cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality.
As part of the Grand America Hotels and Resorts family, The Westgate needed a website that integrated well with the family of properties, while also retaining their signature brand of hospitality. Our approach was based on three areas of focus: 1. Develop a strategic brand platform that accurately positions the Westgate in the crowded San Diego market, 2. Refresh their brand image with photography that showcases their enchanting environment, 3. Create a website that feels standardized with other properties but customized to The Westgate’s unique experience.
