We bet on the value of the business across the area in which we operate, ensuring that through our products and services, our customers leverage the performance of their business.

ConceptCom’s vision is to be recognized for its ability to turn ideas into results and to contribute to the success of its customers and employees.

ConceptCom will develop its work across the region of TrĂĄsos-Montes, offering services in tourism, such as, hospitality businesses, restaurants, local products, or city councils, not forgetting, of course, other lines of regional or national business.

8

Values ConceptCom is guided by the following organizational values: professionalism, perfection, creativity, innovation, customization, attitude and teamwork.

9

Professionalism We integrate in our team experienced employees, people with diverse skills, to help our customers overcome successfully the challenges of their business.

“Professionalism is knowing how to do it, when to do it, and doing it” Frank Tyger, american writer

Perfection We know that competitiveness and the struggle for competitive and differentiating advantages force our customers to be more demanding in seeking services.

We are committed to constantly improve what we do and how we do it. We believe that only offering an excellent service, we will continue to be competitive in this market.

“Excellent firms don’t believe in excellence - only in constant improvement and constant change” Thomas J. Peters, american writer 10

Personalization For ConceptCom, each customer is unique. We seek to develop communication products that attend the specific nature of each customer.

Our work team develops its action in tune with the customer, making it a part of the whole creative process.

“If I’m going to sing like someone else, then I don’t need to sing at all” Billie Holiday, american jazz singer

Creativity In order to continuously improve the quality of our services and exceed the expectations of our customers is vital to stimulate creativity.

Our professionals are continuously learning, as a result of an organizational concern, that constantly participate in workshops and brainstorming meetings.

“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way” Edward De Bono, british writer 11

Innovation Be on continuous development, constantly improving the technological capacity and introducing new products, services and solutions to each customer.

“You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new” Steve Jobs, Apple and NeXT creator

Teamwork Encourage team spirit and mutual support for the company’s overall performance may be greater than the sum of its individual elements.

“When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality” Joe Paterno, football coach 12

Attitude We believe that attitude makes a big difference to achieve the best results.

Our employees take a proactive stance, being prepared to take response to consecutive challenges with the necessary determination to achieve collective success. “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference�

Winston Churchill, politician and british writer

Strategy In ConceptCom we develop a close relationship with stakeholders, which generates added value to the pursuit of our mission.

We develop our work across the region of Tras-os-Montes, offering services in tourism, such as, hospitality businesses, restaurants, local products, or city councils, not forgetting, of course, regional or national business areas.

Services ConceptCom offers a wide variety of services and communication products, such as: creation of corporate and visual identity manual, graphic design, photographic services, web development, development of publications and promotional videos and interactive cd’s / dvd’s.

15

Creation of corporate and visual identity manual The promotion of your company must follow a specific orientation, following proper standards and rules.

ConceptCom studies the specific area of our business customers, knowing their target market and potential in order to create a corporate and visual identity manual that will be determinant in achieving their goals.

Graphic design The first impression customers have of their business is crucial to the development of a future economic relationship. The customer may have excellent products and services, but if he cannot promote them, he will not succeed.

It is important that the first visible signs of its company, such as, logo, business cards and organization of the physical space, are as attractive as possible.

Aware of this, ConceptCom offers to the customers various attractive and efficient graphic design services, essential to the development of new business relationships.

16

Photographic Services Are the photos of your products and services far from appealing and attractive? Do you wish to have the record of that important event?

ConceptCom has at your service all kind of photographic services to register and promote your business in the most appropriate way.

Web development Today, Internet is a primary vehicle for the promotion of products and services of a company. If a company isn´t online, it should be questioned its existence.

More than a simple website, without functionality, your company must have a dynamic website with attractive design and easier accessibility, establishing itself as an excellent “window” for the world. ConceptCom is the perfect partner to promote your business on the world’s largest network.

17

Development of publications The creation of magazines, newsletters, catalogs, brochures or other, can also be assumed as an important area for the promotion of your business.

ConceptCom professionals have relevant training in communication and design and are capable of producing a set of publications to ensure the enhancement of our customers.

Promotional videos and cd’s / dvd’s interactive Since the nineteenth century the moving images have become one of the strongest vehicles of mass communication. Today, with the diversity of platforms available for the propagation of the same, it is essential to have an efficient video that shows their products and services.

Nowadays is also possible to link the video to interactive technologies, to create responses that may be more efficient for the type of content to promote.

For example, an interactive story where the viewer chooses the outcome of the action. You can also talk about a new product with different types of use.
