TurboTax Flagship Store Digital Content

2026

Innovation is the focus at the Intuit TurboTax SoHo flagship store, and the space needed digital content that reflected its forward-thinking spirit. BUCK joined forced with Gensler and the Spring team at Intuit TurboTax to develop digital content for the store’s visual centerpiece — a 30-foot curved LED screen known as the Forum — designed to deliver a premium, tech-forward experience that feels welcoming and calming while encouraging curiosity in their new flagship.

Content Designed for Place

Content was designed across five distinct modes that work together throughout the day, extending before and after store hours. This content highlights key TurboTax messages for in-store customers, shifts outward to engage passersby, and transforms into a flexible presentation surface for local events, activations, and live programming that connect the store to its surrounding neighborhood.

Responsive Screen Content

In partnership with Gensler’s creative technologists, we developed interactive screen content that responds to customer presence in-store using LiDAR. Meditative ambient visuals evolve throughout the day, while moments of discovery surface expert guidance and customer stories — bringing the experience to life. From concept through animation, we shaped the visual identity and delivered assets ready for Unity integration.

Framework for the Forum

Rather than simply handing off a set of assets, we developed a robust design system that provides guidance for the Forum well beyond our initial involvement. Tailored specifically for this unique canvas, the system includes its own visual logic and behaviors, all crafted to feel distinctly TurboTax.

The Outcome

The retail experience is designed to meet customers where they are, creating moments of connection that feel purposeful and intuitive. This approach is grounded in a design system that thoughtfully builds on the TurboTax world.
