The 8th Try

Book Design and Launch Campaign

This Time it Will Work

For The 8th Try, The Creativity Bar designed a striking book cover featuring the author as the focal point, along with a launch campaign built to amplify its message of resilience and transformation. The creative direction visually reinforces the book’s honest, personal perspective on failure—not as an identity, but as a necessary part of growth.


Beyond traditional leadership messaging, the campaign positioned The 8th Try as a relatable conversation about real-life setbacks, perseverance, and the power of continuing even when the journey feels misunderstood. The result is a cohesive visual presence that invites readers to see their experiences differently: every difficult moment can prepare them for what comes next.
