the ask:
change the perception of Walmart among first-time and returning college students, ages 17–22, to shop Walmart for their whole back-to-college checklist: from stylish dorm-must haves & tech to on-trend fashion.
Identity is fluid; who you are freshman year isn’t who you are senior year.

With low prices and unexpectedly stylish finds, we make it affordable to try on new versions of yourself again and again.
But you’d never guess who was behind it.
