Advertising Services
Hit the headlines!
Advertisement design is all about getting the right response from the viewer. It isn't enough to make it pretty (although it helps!), the message has to hit the spot, be relevant and convey the benefits to the audience…quickly.
Whether it's a single advert design or a full blown advertising campaign – knowing how to push the right buttons is vital. That's why our advertising services kick off by identifying the target audience and simply asking "what’s in it for them?" Back all that with snappy headlines, striking imagery and a strong call to action, and you've got yourself a successful advertising campaign lead by a professional advertising agency.
HOW WE DID IT:
MAGLITE LED
The Brief
Maglite are one of the world's most recognisable brands, their products being renowned the world over for their quality and reliability. Their standard product already defined the conventional torch market, and working with their UK distributor, we were asked to design an advertising campaign to reflect the high levels of expectation from both the industry and consumers when they decided to finally enter the already competitive LED flashlight market.
Maglite were relatively late to the LED torch market, and there was some concern that their competitors had a head start on them. Combined with this, we were given a whole raft of technical information about the product's efficiency, and explaining how LED technology improved on conventional torches.
Our Solution
We decided to turn the delay in joining the market to our advantage. Much of the competitions marketing and industry coverage had focused on the technical benefits, and it was clear that most people understood the basic principals that made LED a better choice. In addition, Maglite's reputation meant that most assumed the product would be the equal of or better than the alternatives.
We therefore went with the simple campaign message "the wait is over". This confident approach and the advert design spotlighting the familiar Maglite in a halo of light all built on people's assumption that Maglite would be the new market leader, and the message strength came from the overall swagger of the campaign.
The message was carried from adverts in industry and consumer press through to billboard adverts on the London Underground. It was backed up by more functional items containing the technical detail, and repeated on display graphics, instore promo items, product spec sheets and industry pricing guides.
