Where smart is easy

Smart home technology has incredible potential, yet it can be incredibly confusing. How does it all work together? In an effort to simplify the category, Lowe’s partnered with Mode to brand and launch an in-store concept that could, finally, help customers make sense of it all.

A Big Smart World

Over the past decade, smart technology has been introduced into every product category offered at Lowe's, bringing immense new opportunities and confusion for consumers. With competing standards, inconsistent compatibility, and little common language, it’s difficult to understand how it all works together. Lowe’s knew it had to unify the category’s many disparate products and brands into one simple, accessible experience. By creating a space for product education and experimentation, Lowe’s set out to help customers learn hands-on.

This is Smart

As technology enthusiasts, we were excited to build on the great work Lowe’s was doing and help them bring the concept to life. After an extensive and collaborative creative process, the team developed the comprehensive, friendly, unassuming, and immediately understood brand experience named SmartSpot. One word, for one space, where everyone from beginners to technophiles can get smarter.
