Whether creating communication for a launch, refreshing a brand that’s lost its way or extending an already strong one, there’s nothing we like more than creating something new and different to help solve a business need. This book will tell you a bit more and features some of our most effective work in packaging, digital and print.

The new product launch When Philips AVENT launched an innovative new product, we helped position it so both consumers and retailers would understand it in an instant.
Bringing a brand up to speed Motor Sport magazine had a proud heritage but needed to modernise its offering. We took it into the world of online, e-commerce and new product development.
Rediscovering a household favourite Whilst an ADDIS product could probably be found in almost every household in the UK, too many ranges meant the brand was being overlooked and needed unifying.
Creating a new brand world An ethical and environmentally conscious company, TotsBots had a great product but needed a new strategy to communicate the spirit and ethos of their brand.
A modern look for a traditional retailer We were asked by Floris, London’s oldest perfumier and supplier to the royal households, to create packaging for a new range targeted at younger customers.
An identity to reflect the service Portman Heritage is one of the most exclusive property agents in London. A brand identity and collateral was needed to reflect the high quality of service offered.

The work
The results
We developed the initial creative concept – ‘steam, flip, blend and serve’. This was then used as the main marketing message across packaging and in-store point of sale worldwide. Amongst other sales materials, Point 6 also created a multilingual recipe book and a demonstration film.
A brand new product was brought to market globally with a clearly defined proposition that was quickly appreciated by busy parents.

Motor Sport has very speciďŹ c brand values and it is imperative that these are reected in our website. Point 6 took this on board immediately and delivered a website that sits perfectly with the magazine. I am grateful for their commitment to our title. Damien Smith Editor Motor Sport

Bringing a brand up to speed The context Motor Sport magazine has been trackside since 1924, reporting on the personalities, feats and heroics that have made racing history. It had a great print product and a rudimentary website when it was purchased to be run as a privately owned stand alone title.
The brief Motor Sport asked Point 6 to grow its online revenues, use digital techniques to sell more subscriptions and to work with them in the creation of new revenue streams.
The work Website – within six weeks, Point 6 had designed and launched a new website that reflected the style and personality of the title. The site has now evolved to include bespoke content to attract regular users and an online shop selling subscriptions and other merchandise.

DVD archives – we also worked on the development of new products for Motor Sport, most notably the creation of a series of DVD archives to be sold via the new website. Arranged by decade, the DVDs collect together all the content for every issue since 1924 into an interactive and searchable format. As well as managing this epic feat of production, Point 6 designed the premium packaging for the DVDs.

Email marketing – the statistics for the regular html emails we create for Motor Sport speak volumes. Sign-ups to emails increasing by 2% each month. Open rates averaging between 40-55% month on month. Click-through rates between 22-55% month on month.
11144-P6_bro_text.indd 15
The results Through all this combined activity, Motor Sport’s subscriptions have increased by 10% year on year, the website enjoys a loyal audience with over 30,000 visits each month and sales of brand extensions such as the archives regularly sell out.

Rediscovering a household favourite The context ADDIS, one of Britain’s best known houseware brands, was in need of clear positioning. With a multitude of product ranges having been introduced over many years, the brand had become fragmented.
The brief ADDIS asked Point 6 to help revitalise the brand identity and to design new packaging for the entire range.
The work Our aim was to reposition ADDIS products as ‘part of your home’. To do this, it was clear that we needed to bring consistency to the packaging. And before we did anything we helped restructure the product categories. Colour-coding and a consistent look and feel helped unify different groups of products and gave clearer stand-out at point of sale. We also evolved the brand logo, adding a little sparkle for extra star quality.

To conclude the process, we redesigned the product catalogue to reflect the new identity and to showcase the newly repackaged products.
11144-P6_bro_text.indd 20
Using lifestyle photography and quirky copywriting to add personality to the brand, the end result feels friendly and natural, helping to re-establish ADDIS as a UK household favourite.
06/12/2010 15:31
The results The company has enjoyed a resurgence and is again growing from strength to strength. Having helped to create a distinct personality and livery for the brand, Point 6 is proud to have been part of this impressive success story.

Building a new brand world The context
The brief
Founded in 2000 by husband and wife team Magnus and Fiona, TotsBots make a range of reusable nappies and related products. They have principled ethics at heart which are reflected both in the products and their business. However, to take them to the next level in an increasingly competitive market, they needed a credible brand with the right tone of voice.
Point 6 were asked to capture and portray TotsBots’ positive energy in the packaging and marketing.

The work Point 6 positioned TotsBots as a fun and funky brand. We created the ‘TotsBots world’ which is used as a consistent backdrop for all marketing materials. The new identity is vibrant and joyful whilst extending the brand’s environmental credentials.
The results Since the rebrand, TotsBots has grown considerably, extending its innovative product portfolio to become the UK’s leading reusable nappy brand.

A modern look for a traditional retailer The context London’s oldest perfumier, founded in 1730 and still a family owned business, Floris had a loyal but ageing customer base.
The brief Create contemporary packaging for two new ranges. Extend Floris’ appeal to a broader audience without alienating their long-standing clientele.
The work Floris ‘At Home’ – we took inspiration from current interior design trends. Moving away from the company’s traditional floral pattern on the packs, we introduced a new striped design with complementary rich and zesty colours.
11144-P6_bro_text.indd 31

Floris ‘Natural Benefits’ – our delicate designs for each bottle feature soft photographic images, communicating the natural ingredients used. In addition to the visual appearance, we communicated the premium nature of the range by using foil blocking and silkscreen printing onto soft touch bottles which increased the tactile experience.
The results These two new-look ranges received excellent press coverage, refreshed the range portfolio and enticed a new generation of consumers to the Floris brand.

An identity to reflect the service The context Portman Heritage develops, markets and manages premium London properties for an exclusive British and international clientele.
The brief We were asked to review all of its print and digital marketing material to ensure it accurately reflected the exclusive nature of the service.
The work Website – we created an appropriately elegant, image-led website to showcase the exceptional properties available and present the range of services.
