Ready to Train
The Great Wolf Lodge has many departments that hire people often which means they are always training. We needed to create engaging materials that captured the younger trainees to lead them to success at the Great Wolf Lodge. With training materials changing often, GWL needed materials they can easily update and share amongst teams, keeping a consistent brand look.

Empowering Training Excellence
When materials are always changing and many folks need to have access to the materials, templates are a great option. We created a PowerPoint template look and color palette per department that offered a consistent look but flexibility for the GWL team to use and create something that felt custom for the specific training. With movable elements, section dividers, and backgrounds, these presentation decks are sure to engage the new team members.
Icons and Illustrations
Our team took the artistic route, custom illustrating each icon with a dash of charm and a sprinkle of personality. From endearing depictions of daily tasks to adorable representations of milestones, these icons not only serve a functional purpose but also inject a sense of playfulness into the learning journey.
The extensive icon library provided flexibility for customized training sessions to complement the PowerPoint templates and other training materials.
An Animated Celebration
When they’re not training, they’re celebrating! When Great Wolf Lodge turned 25, Rule29 designed and animated GIFs to get the party started. These were shared to invite guests to join the party at one of their resorts via social media and HTML emails.
