Shortly after our big re-brand from Unser Karting to Podium Karting and Events, the team worked to open Axelrods. This axe-throwing space blew all others in the saturated Denver market out of the water… as indicated by our bump in sales and events bookings. The space was well-designed, allowing axe throwers to have a comfortable tavern-style setup behind their lane. It became extremely popular for date nights, corporate events, sport team outings, and walk-ins alike.
On top of executing the branding package, I designed safety placards for each lane, helped the team create hand-painted accents like the sunken-axe lane numbers, hand-painted a massive photo-op target, and merch for the Axelrods brand. I also helped keep an axe and knife directory up-to-date so visitors could choose from a library of throwing tools.
Axelrods seamlessly integrated into the Podium branding, with the look and feel emulating the go karting and tavern experiences under the same roof.
