01/04/2010

creativebeatcreativebeat5creativebeat4creativebeat3creativebeat2
We love working on projects that support our local community and partnering with Creative Tauranga fits well with what we like to do everyday… being creative!
Creativebeat magazine has a strong following of people who are passionate about arts and culture in the BOP region. With a carefully considered redesign we could see a fantastic opportunity to lift the image of the overall publication, as well as complementing the amazing creativity and talent that is showcased each month. We developed a sophisticated look with new masthead, cover design and colour palette, flow of content and treatment of sections, typography, imagery and illustration. Our aim is to not only appeal to a wider audience and grow readership but also to raise awareness of Creativebeat to make it bigger and better than it is today. The feedback so far has been positive and we are very pleased the Creative community are behind the new direction of this vibrant magazine.

Downtown Tauranga Direct Mail

What better way to launch the exciting new brand for Downtown Tauranga than with a mail drop to 40,000 households in central Tauranga! We created a concept built upon “experience your city centre” which is about re-engaging with local residents and making them aware of the variety of things to do and see in their city. Downtown Tauranga is the biggest shopping and business destination in the Bay and our aim was to communicate their unique story, and give people a taste for what they can experience there over other shopping environments. From boutique and locally owned stores, the best events in the region, cafes, restaurants and nightlife, to theatre, movies, and hotels. We took these compelling elements and designed a brochure with a broadsheet format for point of difference. With an introduction that reinforced the essence of Downtown Tauranga, an events guide to show all of what’s on, dining & bars section with competitions plus arts & culture section and business directory. Along with our creative execution was the development of a sales strategy for advertising, implementing initiatives to measure cut-through, effective copywriting and photography.

Downtown Tauranga rebrand

We are thrilled to be working with Mainstreet Tauranga as their strategic marketing partners. Our first task was to evaluate and determine the future direction of their brand and to lift the perception with our key audiences being; local residents and visitors to the region. We wanted to create an ownable look and feel that would not only build their brand recognition but also inject some life and personality to reflect this thriving destination and what it has to offer. The result is a uniquely crafted typeface that expresses “sophistication” along with a strong and bold colour palette. “We’ve got it all” is a known catch phrase within the community with an equity we agreed should be retained. We took leverage from this positioning and developed this concept into a visual language that communicates their points of difference through engaging iconography and illustrations.

The launch of the Tauranga Export Awards for 2010 created an exciting buzz and the theme and concept for this year is going to be a hit! 1920’s gangster/flappers which we have developed into an inspiring and fun look and feel. The Art Gallery was a perfect spot for the evening with an opening speech from Trent, Charleston dance lessons and of course the very important kick-off for category nominations. We really enjoy being a key sponsor for this event and can’t wait until the big night in June!

We have been working with Wakerley Motorhomes for a few years now. Firstly with a brand refresh to reflect their status as New Zealand’s top motor home manufacturer, along with a positioning line “far from ordinary” which was the key driver for their unique brand story and compelling advertising campaign. This has been extremely effective for them driving an increase in sales and building their brand awareness considerably. Now branching out into a service centre offering we have most recently developed a sub-brand for this division along with press advertising and marketing material to support the launch.

This year we wanted to give our clients something a bit special to thank them for their support in helping our business to grow and succeed. To show our appreciation we added to our already hectic days the task of sewing each client their own designer floppy hat made from the iconic kiwi tea towel – no two are the same! The idea is to remind ourselves and celebrate all the things that make our Christmas as kiwi’s unique. 2009 has brought some fantastic opportunities and we can’t wait to start the new year with more exciting projects! Until then, enjoy a safe and happy holiday kiwi style…

2009 has been a significant year for Bluelab by expanding their distribution channels worldwide and positioning themselves as the leaders in hydroponic measuring equipment. We’ve been busy creating a flagship brochure for their global audience that communicates why their products are unique, and to showcase their range clearly and effectively. We have welcomed the opportunity to utilise our packaging expertise and redesign their entire range of products; from the structural design and communication hierarchy on pack, through to product photography and image retouching. The result is a family of products that create a strong brand presence on shelf that sets them apart from their competitors.
