Loyalty Program Branding

Giant Eagle Loyalty (myPerks)

myPerks is Giant Eagle’s customer loyalty program, designed to reward shoppers with savings on groceries and fuel through personalized offers and everyday purchases.

With millions of active users and touchpoints spanning in-store, digital, mobile, and advertising channels, the program required a cohesive brand system that could scale efficiently while remaining clear, engaging, and easy to understand.

I led the evolution and scaling of the myPerks loyalty brand for Giant Eagle—transforming it into a cohesive, flexible system that could seamlessly adapt across in-store, digital, and campaign experiences.

From seasonal promotions to everyday engagement, I created a unified visual language designed to drive clarity, consistency, and customer connection at scale.

Defining Project Goals

The goal was to transform myPerks into a cohesive and scalable brand system capable of supporting high-volume, multi-channel campaigns.

This included refining the visual identity, establishing clear design standards, and creating flexible templates that could adapt to seasonal promotions, everyday messaging, and evolving business needs—while maintaining a consistent and recognizable brand experience.

Branding & Strategy

To evolve the myPerks brand into a scalable system, I focused on three core principles:

Clarity - Simplifying complex loyalty mechanics into intuitive, easy-to-understand visuals

Consistency - Creating a unified design system that ensures alignment across all channels and customer touchpoints

Flexibility - Designing modular components and templates that support rapid campaign execution while maintaining brand integrity

Scaling the System

The myPerks brand was built to scale—supporting everything from large seasonal campaigns to everyday promotional needs.

By establishing clear systems, templates, and guidelines, I enabled teams to produce consistent, high-quality creative across hundreds of touchpoints while reducing production time and maintaining brand integrity.

Iconography

A custom icon system was developed to support quick recognition and simplify communication across the loyalty experience.

Designed for clarity and scalability, the icons represent key actions and benefits—from earning and redeeming perks to shopping across categories—and are optimized for use across digital interfaces, signage, and print materials.

Color Palette

The color system was expanded to support a broader range of messaging while maintaining strong brand recognition.

A structured palette of core and secondary colors enables flexibility across seasonal campaigns and category-specific promotions, while ensuring consistency across all applications

Paid Advertising

The myPerks brand was designed to perform in a high-volume, fast-paced marketing environment.

I created flexible templates and design systems that enabled rapid production of daily and weekly promotions, digital ads, and personalized offers—ensuring consistency while allowing for speed and adaptability.

This approach supported ongoing campaign execution at scale, reinforcing brand recognition across every customer interaction.
