Print vs Digital

The digital revolution is under way and it has consequences for everybody. What does it mean from a marketing point of view? What are the up and coming digital platforms and which should you be utilizing to reach your audiences?

A new CI for PRO-digitaal

PRO-digitaal specialises in servicing post-production broadcast equipment used in today’s digital studios. The company is based in Hilversum, the Netherlands. By specialising in particular types of equipment, i.e. HD colour correction, Flame, Flint, DaVinci and other cutting-edge soft & hardware products, they are able to offer faster turnaround than other service centres. What were the conditions for designing a new identity? Be smart, digital and 100% connective.

PRO-digitaal’s new corporate identity (CI) design. The linear logo design melts the letters P-R-O into one form, reflecting the integrated, highly connective environment it lives in. The company’s marketing communication appears in relevant media and is always focusing on its skilful workforce – we call them PRO’s Special Agents. Award-winner in The One Show for Design and the European Design Awards.

Your business matters. Can it matter more?

Developing a brand, as you know, can really help differentiate your company or product. And, as a result, it can make your business more valuable. Between 30 and 40 percent if you’re a B2B and up to 70 percent if you’re Coke or Nike and a B2C. Building your brand requires a consistent investment in a brand idea that is totally relevant to your company or product and that matters a great deal to your target market.

‘Just Do It’ is still as relevant to us as a brand today as it was 23 years ago. In this case: Caster Semenya by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam

Suffering from Typo-Rage

Typography has always played an important role in how I help companies to express themselves more distinctively. Good typography adds character and self-esteem to the message. But typography is often misused in mass communications, made by big expensive agencies that should know better. Poor font selection, poor kerning, and poor word spacing are the typical eyesores that infuriate me. Time to speak up and notice.

The Satrix promise

South Africa has almost no culture of saving money. With minimal social pressure to do the right thing, many people procrastinate and leave it too late. Working with a small budget – using outdoor, radio and social media – we have helped Satrix become a household name, synonymous with long-term investing made easy. With the promise of good things to come, this particular (award-winning) campaign encourages people to take the first step. (In collaboration with VH brand developers)
