A custom Shopify platform that turns a candy icon into a cultural destination.
Photography by Sachi & Pepa
Ring Pop had been running on a dated WordPress site for years, built entirely around "birthday candy for kids," with the brand's broader cultural relevance and product range outgrowing that framing.
Manufactur rebuilt Ring Pop on custom Shopify, organized around four content pillars (Core, Weddings, Fandom, Sports), with a new visual system built around the Ring Pop gem as a UI motif, an original photoshoot with Sachi & Pepa, and a custom parent-child Shopify theme built to support Bazooka's wider brand portfolio.
On Ring Pop, SEO and GEO were built into the content strategy from day one, not added after launch. The copywriting was written to perform in search while still sounding like Ring Pop, not a generic candy catalog.
Yes. Manufactur continues the work on a Scale retainer, supporting Ring Pop and standing up additional Bazooka portfolio brands on the same platform.
Yes. Any brand with strong nostalgic recognition but a narrow, dated public perception faces the same problem: expanding relevance without discarding the equity that makes people recognize it in the first place.
