Carter’s: Watch Them Glow

For over eight generations, families have trusted Carter’s to be part of some of the most important moments in their children’s lives. That kind of heritage isn’t something you simply refresh — it’s something you build on. As the world of parenting continues to change, and as parents place a greater emphasis on giving children the freedom to be themselves, Carter’s had an opportunity to deepen its commitment: to evolve from a brand parents trust into one the next generation of parents both trusts and identifies with. The goal was to expand how Carters supports children and the people raising them, while honoring the equity they have built.

As a Carter’s brand partner, we immersed ourselves in the world of modern parenting to understand where the brand could grow. That work kept surfacing the same truth: Kids arrive with a light and a uniqueness entirely of their own, from their curiosity and imagination, to the wonderfully unexpected ways they show up in the world. Carter’s role isn’t to create that light. It’s to recognize it, encourage it and give it room to shine. From that belief, we built the “Watch Them Glow” tagline, a renewed brand promise, and expanded brand actions designed to support children and families raising them well beyond the product itself. We then brought it all to life through a new logo and design system.

Together, the renewed promise, refreshed identity and “Watch Them Glow” are designed to build on the trust Carter’s has earned across seven generations, as well as making the brand increasingly relevant to the next generation of families. This is an evolution that preserves what has made Carter’s essential, while expanding how that trust is put to work: from the products families rely on every day to the experiences, resources and partnerships that give children more room to explore, grow and shine.
