Gainfort (Wexford) Gainfort is a leading hair and beauty products supplier. It also specialises in salon fit out and runs a training academy for hairdressers and beauticians. They recently expanded their business and moved into new premises. As part of the process, they asked us to transform their overall branding. And so we designed their new logo, signage, packaging, stationery and website. This integrated approach to their advertising, marketing and design has given them the confidence to drive forward and win new business.

Joyce’s 365 (Galway) Three large Joyce’s 365 is a Galway based supermarket chain. Locally owned and family run, it has been serving the local community for over half a century. In the face of growing competition from larger multiples, they asked to overhaul their marketing strategy and re-position their product and service offering.
And so, we re-defined their business and brand and designed a new logo, signage, packaging and point-ofsale material. The client is typical of many independent Irish operators who face increasing pressure from foreign multiples. Joyce’s 365 has since opened two new stores and is more than holding its own.
“Passion made our new store look bigger, brighter and better. We couldn’t ask for more.” Ian Joyce Joyces Homecentre

Environment Furniture is built around an idea that’s as revolutionary as it is basic; the fundamentals of design come from nature. From there, we create aesthetically sophisticated pieces with a truly organic quality. And we further the conservation of nature by using sustainable products and environmentally responsible processes. For us, green design isn’t a trend or a hook - it’s a methodology, pure and simple.

Ann & I wish to thank you all sincerely for your collective effort and imagination, which brought our initial enquiry for Marketing advice, right through band-essence and creative development, all the way to a clearly defined message and planned marketing strategy for 2009.
We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and, your attention to detail and creative input now finds Gerry O’Carroll Photography more prepared for our business future that we have ever been previously – or than we could have envisaged when we spoke to you initially in mid2008.
Despite prevailing market conditions and an everexpanding number of market operators we now see our strengths, together with the uniqueness and excellence of our product and service to a huge positive.
We look forward to achieving the goals and rewards we have targeted for the future. Thanks again, one and all, nobody succeeds alone.

Western Union is one of the largest money transfer companies in the world. It has some 375,000 agent locations in over 200 countries. Here in Ireland, they provide the majority of their services via An Post and Fexco.
They approached us in the middle of 2008 to help them roll out their new branding across their retail network on a store by store basis. They also asked us to formalise their new brand guidelines in a single reference document for use in Ireland and the UK.
We now do most of the design and artwork for the inside and outside of each store. This includes signage, point of sale material and marketing collateral. We also do a lot of their press and web ads.
All of this work necessitates a lot of contact with local printers, sign makers, media outlets and other third parties, not to mention the client themselves. As their main agency in Ireland, we’re always on hand when they need of us.
“It’s great working with Passion. They’ve quickly become our one stop shop for all our design needs. They make sure all our branding is consistent throughout our UK and Ireland stores. They’re very responsive and a pleasure to deal with”.
Ciara Horgan, Marketing Manager, Western Union
