Bringing the Rallie ball machine to market

Rallie set out to launch a smarter, more affordable pickleball ball machine in a category run by clunky, expensive incumbents. We built the brand, produced the photo and video, and launched the direct-to-consumer store that introduced Rallie to players.

The challenge

A better machine — in a category that fights you

Selling premium hardware direct-to-consumer is hard. Players can't try a ball machine before they buy, the price tag invites scrutiny, and a brand-new name has to earn trust fast against established players. Rallie needed to look and feel like the category leader from day one — and give players every reason to hit ‘buy.’ [Confirm the specifics with the Rallie team.]
