Re-brand evolution

“ Excellent. Not just good design, but good design that reflects our brand values”

Tom Whiteley Marketing Manager, Arena Group

Arena is one of the largest independent sellers of photocopiers in the North of England. Their brief was to ‘evolutionise, not revolutionise’ – in other words, modernise their existing brand. They chose Powerhouse over a number of other agencies, as we quickly proved we understood their product offerings and brand values. This not only allowed us to produce design work that accurately reflects the company, it also meant we could contribute ideas to their marketing strategy.

Helping products to market

“ New products need new brands, new packaging, new ideas, it helps galvanise them into a tough marketplace” Richard Hall Manager Director, PD-M International

PD-M International specialise in bringing products to market, they approached us to see how we could help them develop as a brand. It turns out many their clients needed that opportunity too. Many of them were people with ideas, but a lack of marketing expertise was hindering their business development. That’s where we came in providing marketing support where they really needed it .

Gerald Taylor Managing Director, 4Site Security Services

4Site Security Services first approached us about streamlining their brand for the next few years. The starting point was a logo that had been in place for a few years which we modified - this was to retain their existing brand recognition. We developed a coherent brand look - strong blacks and the ‘green strike’ - which now appears on all literature. The net result is a new black carpet at 4Site headquarters!

Council Initiative for working in the creative sector

“ Great creative work, delivered on time and within our budget” Samantha Blackburn Leeds City Council, Arts Department

We’ve been working with Leeds Council on the Gallery 37 project for over two years. The campaign is to raise awareness among 15 to 18 year olds who can gain valuable work experience in the Arts sector. Promotional literature, including posters, flyers and postcards, ensures the information gets out to its target audience.

Kids’ questionnaire making waves in Yorkshire

From concept presentation to design and print delivery, this questionnaire deserved a big hand.

After a 6 way pitch, this design solution won through with the people at Connexions West Yorkshire. The brief was to produce a piece of literature that would engage with the teenage target group. The pitch was presented to a group of twenty 15 year olds and they loved its colourful look and folding design.

Showcasing a few cases of beer

“ A simple mechanic that not only caught the imagination of the pub landlords but gave us a significant return on the investment� Tom Easom Wychwood Brewery / Marstons Beer Company

We were asked to design, print, frame and deliver 100 units for Wychwood Breweries showcasing their real ale brands for the coming year. These have proved a real (ale) success for the brewery and their top pubs - who are showing improved sales since the units went up.
