The Brief

Extend Irish Spring’s iconic freshness into a limited-edition program that feels premium, collectible, and unmistakably on-brand, while creating standout impact on shelf.

The Approach

United DSN developed the National Park Edition as a strategic brand extension, using America’s most iconic landscapes to elevate freshness into a location-based experience.

Bold, modern illustrations bring each park to life while preserving Irish Spring’s core equities, strong green architecture, clear hierarchy, and immediate recognition.

A Strategic Extension of Freshness

United DSN created the Irish Spring National Park Edition as a premium brand extension rooted in classic poster art. Each pack interprets a distinct U.S. National Park through refined, modern illustration, capturing expansive landscapes in a way that feels timeless, contemporary, and unmistakably ownable.

The result is a visual system designed for immediate shelf impact, emotional storytelling, and strong brand recognition at distance. Clear scent differentiation is purposefully tied to each environment, with a disciplined hierarchy that protects brand dominance, and premium cues appropriate for a limited-edition release.

Purpose-Driven Collaboration

Developed in partnership with the National Park Foundation, the program reinforces Irish Spring’s commitment to preserving America’s natural spaces, adding authenticity, meaning, and cultural relevance beyond the packaging itself.

 

 

The Result

A limited-edition program that feels elevated, authentic, and culturally relevant, while strengthening Irish Spring’s core promise of freshness and reinforcing its leadership in the men’s body wash category.

The National Park Edition demonstrates how iconic brands can evolve through thoughtful storytelling, disciplined design, and strategic restraint, turning a seasonal release into a brand-building moment.

Traditional illustrations

Working with celebrated illustrator Andrew Davidson, United brought a classical, painted quality to the National Park Edition, reviving the lost art of traditional poster illustration to honor the beauty and legacy of America’s historic parks.
