Stronger Together
For the past year I've had the pleasure of serving as Co-Creative Director with locally grown experiential branding design company, GIGANTIC!. We're excited to announce that we have joined forces with Image360 as of July 15th, 2019.
Our new, expanded shop will be located at 2 Westgate Parkway (previously Autostar in Westgate plaza). The 10,000 square foot shop will include design, printing and fabrication of all types of signage— from standard to custom. Additionally, there will be an auto-wrap area, as well as a print and mail division under the same roof.
GIGANTIC!, came about after founder Scott David Smith moved himself, his family and his business to Asheville in the summer of 2010 from the San Francisco Bay Area. Inspired by Asheville’s burgeoning locally grown economy, he immediately began finding ways to help independent businesses GET SEEN!, BE REMEMBERED! and GO BIG!.
Businesses such as Beanwerks Coffee, Doctor Dave’s Automotive, Willow’s Dream and Envision Eyecare were some of the first businesses that Smith put his mark on with a distinctive blend of mural art, design and unique sign creation.
Over his nearly 10 years in Asheville, Smith has continued to evolve his business by taking a unique, holistic approach to branding for brick and mortar businesses. Recent companies to receive the GIGANTIC! mark have included Acropolis Pizza, Hazel Twenty, Scout Boutique, Scorch Fitness, Joy Ryder and Underground Fitness.
Now, GIGANTIC! will start yet another chapter of it’s evolution by joining forces with Dave Campbell, owner of the local Allegra franchise and their sister company: Image360.
Campbell has been an active member in the Asheville business community for more than 20 years-- offering print, mailing and sign solutions. He sees the acquisition of GIGANTIC! as an opportunity to round out his organization as a unique “one stop” offering for businesses looking to increase their exposure in the marketplace. From print assets to marketing to experiential branding of your brick and mortar location, we will have you covered.
Together we are excited to grow the GIGANTIC! business model of experiential branding even further in order to better serve the entrepreneurial community. Smith will continue to play a creative role and will focus on sales and marketing for the new, expanded operation.
Personally, I will continue in the new organization as Sign Shop Manager and Creative Consultant.
