Club Gain

Strategy, Concepting & Design | Blac Internship (P&G)

College students treat laundry like a chore. We turned it into a club. As part of the BLAC internship program, I led strategy, concepting, and design for Club Gain, a pop-up experience that transforms dorm laundry rooms into the most unexpected night out on campus. I developed the campaign concept, consumer personas, partnership strategy with DJ Mustard and JoeFreshGoods, and designed the digital assets and website mockups. We pitched P&G directly. They had no notes. Said we answered every ask and gave them everything they needed to see it go live.

The Insight

Laundry is a shared college pain point. It's inclusive. Everyone has dirty laundry. And if Gain can turn funk into fun, it can turn a chore into a core memory.

Big Idea

Gain Smells Like Fun. It has the power to turn funk into fun, a chore into a core memory, and a load into a leveled-up experience.

The Campaign

Club Gain transforms dorm laundry rooms into immersive pop-up experiences. DJ Mustard spins tracks inspired by each scent. Samsung washers light up like turntables. Students discover Gain's full product lineup through scent, sound, and self-care rolled into a social-first experience built for campus culture.

The campaign extends beyond the pop-up: curated scent stacks based on Spotify playlists, JoeFreshGoods merch collabs, Kai Cenat streamer activations, and Amazon Prime student kits that make Gain fast, easy, and dorm-ready.
