Children's apparel creator Gymboree recently introduced a complete brand refresh and with its new identity, the Gymboree 'Made You Smile' app.
To support the new line of clothing it launched just in time for the back-to-school season, Gymboree created a fun and interactive mobile app that gives kids the chance to see the graphic designs come to life before their eyes. The app for iPhone and Android adds a new layer to the newest Gymboree graphic t-shirts, but it also gives kids the chance to exercise their creativity by entering weekly drawings in sweepstakes or enjoy "snackable content."
Along with its new augmented reality app and brand refresh, Gymboree has also unveiled freshly remodeled stores with modern designs, as well as special partnerships that offer fun for the whole family.
