Good Strategy, Great Design, and Justice for All

Despite our Texas roots, we are strictly city slick­ers here at the Mar­ble­head Ranch. We get around with Euro­pean cars not horses, we carry smart phones instead of six shoot­ers, and we’re more likely to get bitten by a pot­hole than a rattle snake. How­ever when the good people at Cow­girl Jus­tice called for design work, we had to drag out our best John Wayne impres­sions. We even learned a bit about ladies fashion. 

The first time we talked to Cow­girl Jus­tice, they needed help get­ting ready for a big show sell­ing their fall col­lec­tion of t-shirts and acces­sories to ven­dors. In the begin­ing, we didn’t know much about woman’s fash­ion and less about cow­girls, but after a few meet­ings and a crash course in barrel racing culture, we know enough to get the job done. I even took a quick trip over to the National Cow­girl Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth for a little research. 

Since that first job, we’ve helped them carry for­ward their brand in print mate­ri­als and adver­tis­ing. Recently, we even got in on the prod­uct game design­ing their Summer t-shirt line. A few of our ini­tial designs were very well received, but in the end, deemed too racy. (hell yeah!) How­ever, one made it though the sen­sors and is on sale now. We’ve very proud of Cowgirl Justices’ progress and wish them tons more suc­cess in the future. We’re for­ever grate­ful to them for bring­ing out our dusty rugged alter ego. I am still scared of horses though.

Here’s a sample of the work we’ve done so far:

They were even nice enough to pen a quick tes­ti­mo­nial singing the praises of all things Marblehead:

Cow­girl Jus­tice Apparel is a new line of women’s spe­cialty cloth­ing. During our debut in 2007, Cow­girl Jus­tice required mar­ket­ing, brand­ing and design sup­port to help build aware­ness. It was a relief to be able to call upon the mar­ket­ing pro­fes­sion­als at Mar­ble­head Con­sult­ing and to be able to quickly exe­cute an eye pop­ping design to gen­er­ate aware­ness for our new line. It takes a spe­cial talent to listen to the client and fully under­stand the need; then make rec­om­men­da­tions to hone the client’s direc­tion into the absolute sweet-​spot approach; and finally, to exe­cute a design that catches the atten­tion of the audi­ence and com­mu­ni­cates the Brand so clearly. We cannot ade­quately describe the reac­tion and atten­tion we received from the mar­ket­ing pieces Mar­ble­head cre­ated. Our busi­ness con­tin­ues to grow and we know that growth has a steeper curve because of the brand exe­cu­tion of Mar­ble­head Consulting.

    Thanks for your great work guys; Just to add a few follow-​up obser­va­tions, the Cow­girl Rev­o­lu­tion shirt shown here in navy has been the second most pop­u­lar shirt of the entire Summer line. And if anyone is able to come to Apparel Market at the World Trade Center, you will be blown away when you get off the esca­la­tors on 12 when you see the eye pop­ping banner bea­con­ing buyers to our booth. Let’s do more!
