Branding agency For decades, Henry’s Tackle Shop has been a trusted destination for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts across Ireland. Known for quality gear, expert advice, and a deep connection to the fishing community, Henry’s built a reputation that few could rival. But as customer behaviours shifted and online competition grew, it became clear that the brand needed to evolve.
That’s when Henry’s partnered with Brand You Creative Agency. As a leading branding agency, our task was to reimagine the shop’s identity and digital presence. The goal was to retain Henry’s loyal customer base while modernising the brand to connect with a younger, more tech-savvy audience.
The result was a complete transformation, spanning brand identity & strategy, shopfront design, and online store design that secured Henry’s place in today’s marketplace without losing the legacy that made it special.
Digital Rebra with Purpose
Rebranding isn’t about replacing what works; it’s about building on strengths while closing gaps. For Henry’s, the strength lay in credibility and trust. Customers already associated the brand with reliability and expertise. But their visual identity and digital platforms weren’t telling that story effectively.
By refreshing the brand identity & strategy, we created a system that balanced tradition with modern relevance. The new logo, typography, and colour palette brought a bold, confident energy, while still echoing the rugged authenticity of Ireland’s fishing heritage. From packaging to digital ads, the rebrand gave Henry’s a strong presence that resonated across every touchpoint.
Episode 1: Brand Visual Identity
We began by diving into Henry’s heritage, understanding its reputation and what kept customers coming back. The insight was clear: while the brand was trusted, its visuals lacked cohesion and impact.
Our creative team developed a bold new logo, a refined colour palette, and typography that conveyed both reliability and adventure. This wasn’t a cosmetic change, it was about crafting a brand visual identity that customers could instantly recognise, online or offline. A full brand style guide was delivered, making it easy for Henry’s team to roll out the new identity across signage, packaging, digital ads, and store environments.
Episode 2: Brand Strategy
A strong identity needs a strategy behind it. We analysed Henry’s customer base, from recreational anglers to professionals and explored what mattered most: quality products, reliable advice, and speed of service.
The strategy we developed positioned Henry’s as more than just a shop, it became a trusted companion for every fishing journey. Tone of voice, messaging, and positioning lines were designed to reflect expertise, trust, and accessibility. Workshops with the Henry’s team ensured that the brand identity & strategy weren’t just theoretical, they became actionable tools to drive marketing, customer engagement, and future growth.
Episode 3: Website Design & Development
In today’s market, a fishing tackle shop is no longer just a physical store, it must also be a digital destination. The old website struggled with navigation, product categorisation, and mobile usability, making the buying process frustrating for customers.
We solved this with a complete online store design, creating a platform that was as user-friendly as it was visually appealing. Built on WooCommerce, the new site featured:
- Streamlined product categories and search filters.
- Faster checkout and secure payment options.
- Responsive, mobile-first design so anglers could shop easily from the lakeside or their living rooms.
High-quality imagery, wishlist tools, and back-in-stock alerts added both functionality and engagement, making Henry’s a standout fishing tackle shop in Ireland online.
Episode 4: Marketing & Launch
Rebranding doesn’t end with design, it lives in how customers experience it. To ensure a successful launch, we worked with Henry’s team to build marketing campaigns that amplified their new identity.
From SEO-driven blogs and Google Shopping integration to social content templates and email marketing flows, every piece was aligned with the new voice and visuals. Seasonal campaigns and expert tips helped drive both traffic and loyalty, ensuring the rebrand translated into measurable results.
The Importance of This Rebrand
Henry’s project highlights what happens when a business combines heritage with innovation. By working with a branding agency that understood both the technical and creative sides of transformation, Henry’s was able to:
- Strengthen its brand identity & strategy.
- Launch a high-performing online store design tailored to customer needs.
- Secure its position as the go-to fishing tackle shop in Ireland, offline and online.
Conclusion
A rebrand is more than a fresh logo or a modern website. It’s about aligning who you are with how you show up for your customers. For Henry’s Tackle Shop, this project was a chance to honour decades of trust while preparing for the future of retail.
By combining a refreshed brand identity & strategy with a seamless online store design, Henry’s is now equipped to engage today’s customers and tomorrow’s generations of anglers.
