Cubby's Convenience Stores - Branding & Social Media

Project Summary

• Dynamic Social Content: Custom illustrations and graphics that drive engagement across all social platforms.
• Animations: Engaging short-form animated videos specifically formatted for gas station pump screens, providing a moment of entertainment and brand personality during every fill-up.
• Seasonal Storytelling: A cohesive visual narrative that makes the Cubby’s brand feel like a consistent, friendly part of the community’s monthly routine.

By leveraging our monthly themed characters and vibrant motion design, these ads are engineered to:
