Gaming 2.0: Pushing Creative Boundaries for Corsair

Corsair partnered with Upspire Labs to develop innovative creative solutions that break the mold, enhance global compliance, and drive brand success.

Corsair, a leading manufacturer of gaming hardware, cases, computers, and peripherals, has been at the forefront of the gaming industry for years. The company is renowned for delivering high-performance products that cater to both casual gamers and professionals. 

Opportunity / Challenge

In early 2019, Corsair faced the challenge of further developing their visual design across various fronts. The company needed a creative partner who could take their vision and transform it into compelling designs that would resonate with a global audience. With a focus on expanding their reach and ensuring compliance with international markets, Corsair sought a partner that could deliver on both creativity and execution.

Solution

Corsair engaged Upspire Labs to help bring new visual design ideas to life. Working closely with the team, Upspire Labs was entrusted with various tasks, ranging from developing quick start guides to executing product packaging changes necessary for global compliance. We were also involved in creating innovative graphics and illustrations that aligned with Corsair’s expanding brand identity.

Corsair initially chose Upspire Labs after reviewing several agencies. Impressed by our approach to projects and the quality of the work, they decided to start with a few smaller projects. After seeing the results, Corsair expanded their engagement with Upspire Labs, leading to a long-term partnership that continues to thrive.

“Upspire Labs’ creative side is great, so let them do a lot of that instead of boxing them in with specific requirements. They can come up with great things for you.”
