Multi purpose stationery and brand identity
When creating business stationery, designing a new businesses logo or gathering photos, graphics, video media etc for a marketing project, it is worth looking over all the purposes that you might put these assets to. You might say well that’s pretty obvious, but you would be surprised how often media is created for one purpose, [...]
When creating business stationery, designing a new businesses logo or gathering photos, graphics, video media etc for a marketing project, it is worth looking over all the purposes that you might put these assets to. You might say well that’s pretty obvious, but you would be surprised how often media is created for one purpose, paid for, and then to discover it won’t work for another. A common problem is authoring media for web which by nature is small, compact and at computer screen resolution and finding it turns into a mushy mosaic when produced as an exhibition banner!
We try to ensure your money is spent in the right way developing media assets that you only pay for once and can use for may purposes
As a recent example we have just produced a range of stationery and marketing media for two new companies CC Two video services and Set & Staging conference equipment hire. Using logo design provided by Neil Phipps a local designer Applause has created artwork for the conventional letterheads, comp slips, business cards. But also provided more specific print and online solutions for email stationery, bar code labelling, dvd digipack cases, powerpoint and proposal document templates and exhibition pop up banners.
Sales Conference Awards
Usually at the Annual Sales Conference there are some special awards to those staff members who have contributed something outstanding to the organisation over the year. These often take the form of ‘Oscar’ ceremonies with dry ice, reveals celebrity presenters and all the razzamatazz. However with the financial sector tightening its belt somewhat at the [...]
Usually at the Annual Sales Conference there are some special awards to those staff members who have contributed something outstanding to the organisation over the year. These often take the form of ‘Oscar’ ceremonies with dry ice, reveals celebrity presenters and all the razzamatazz. However with the financial sector tightening its belt somewhat at the present one of our clients wanted a simple low cost means of generating some expectation from the assembled sales force.
The Applause thinking cap was worn and we came up with a simple interactive ‘wheel of fortune’ that could be played in with the powerpoint presentations for each category of award. The names of all delegates present were entered and displayed at random as the sales director announced the runners up and at the press of a key the names steadily slowed finishing on the winner. Simple, elegant and effective. A roar sprung from the audience as the display slowed – with many prospective winners thinking is it me!, is it me! – like waiting for the sixth ball on the lottery – well almost.
If you think this would be a useful tool for you – we have one on the shelf waiting!!
Hélélé African Soul & Jazz
On the Arts front Applause has been designing CD covers and duplicating CDs for Alphonse Daudet Touna African Jazz band HéLéLé for a number of years producing 3 titles to date. Alphonse plays a balafon (an African marimba) he made himself. The rich balafon melody creates another style of afro jazz through a mix of [...]
On the Arts front Applause has been designing CD covers and duplicating CDs for Alphonse Daudet Touna African Jazz band HéLéLé for a number of years producing 3 titles to date.
Alphonse plays a balafon (an African marimba) he made himself. The rich balafon melody creates another style of afro jazz through a mix of forest rhythms such as Assiko, Bikoutsi, Makouné, Makossa and Bolobo.
The concerts they play are spontaneous and alive. Full of vibration and energy, the band elevate the crowd through the body language of dance. And for the mind, great solos are weaved within the framework of rare grooves and percussion.
Pensford Wine Festival
On the back of the Pensford Beer Festival which had its first outing in July 2008 and proved to be a roaring success the organising committee, as well as now planning the second beer festival, have organised the first Pensford Wine Festival to be held on the 14th of March in a few weeks time. [...]
On the back of the Pensford Beer Festival which had its first outing in July 2008 and proved to be a roaring success the organising committee, as well as now planning the second beer festival, have organised the first Pensford Wine Festival to be held on the 14th of March in a few weeks time.
John Durston of the West of England Wine & Spirits Association has been persuaded to put together tutored tasting of new and classic wine styles and this will be followed by an evening of entertainment and tastings of around 30 of his specially selected favourites from around the world.
Applause had produced the Beer Fest website last year and were asked to produce the Wine Festival site together with promotional leaflets and posters plus display graphics for the event itself. It is fair to say we rather like jobs like this can you guess why!?
If you hail from around Pensford, South Bristol or North Somerset checkout the information on www.pensfordwinefest.co.uk
and make a beeline for this not to missed event.
