When Dolce & Gabbana partnered with Heartwood Publishing to create a luxury brand promotional map, the goal was deceptively simple: to give customers something practical, valuable and collectible. What followed was a collaboration built on heritage, craftsmanship, and the kind of print experience that feels as considered as the brand itself. The project combined luxury brand positioning, destination-based content, and premium print production to deliver a memorable branded experience for customers. This PopOut map brand case study explores the objectives, creative process, and results of the campaign.
The Challenge: a brand promotional map
