THE OFFERINGS: BRANDING You can take ownership of what your product and company mean — from the diverse elements of image, tonality and messaging. We create the face and personality for our clients and their brand, with TAMZtastic results. LOGO AND CORPORATE IDENTITY
Define the former as the icon that identifies your company and the later as the complete unified look and feel of all collateral material encompassing letterhead, business cards, envelopes, folders and brochures.
BRAND AUDIT
No one is closer to your brand than you, in fact there’s a very good chance that you’re too close to see inconsistencies and weakness that may be affecting your day-to-day operations and how consumers see you. That’s where we come in. We know strong brands; we work with them everyday. The TAMZ team can take an in-depth look at how your company is presented to the world and create a real actionable global plan.
MEDIA KIT
We create a collection of materials about your company, its products or services, photos and potential stories of interest for a variety of scenarios. Electronic press kits (EPKs), a phenomena still in its toddler years, include both pre-cut video news stories as well as the raw footage.
COLLATERAL
While predominately printed materials, collateral material can be anything that provides a quick glimpse or a more In-depth look into your company or what it offers. No one matches TAMZ collateral. One-sheets. Videos. Brochures. Manuals. Prestige pieces. Anything that highlights company virtues, deserves the TAMZtastic treatment.
VISUAL IMAGERY
Imagine a trade video or print piece detailing anything from how to put together a cabinet to a tourism promotion. We go beyond what mere production and design houses can facilitate. In fact, we can render animations and graphics to easily distributed mediums like DVD’s for upscale results with a simplified approach that doesn’t require an elaborate location shoot. As always, TAMZ ensures that all collateral materials have a unified feel.
PHOTOGRAPHY
A quick statement — the right picture tells the story and elicits reaction. Pictures don’t mince words.
COPYWRITING
We provide words combined and paced to create both mood and psychological impact. Our text works with salient images they are a force to be reckoned with.
MESSAGING STRATEGY
Stay on message. It’s something every failed business and politician forgot. We write the book. We ask you to stay faithful to this good book and constantly review it to make certain it’s still good.
NAMING
Some people say that with the right offering, names aren’t important. Nice sentiment, but why handicap yourself right out of the gate. It’s a consideration you have to live, and grow with. The TAMZ team knows the intricacies involved in finding unique names that can exist in multiple markets and reflect the principles and value proposition essential to your business plan.
THE OFFERINGS: INTERACTIVE There is so much that can go into a website today. The first component you need however is a plan. People often see the “WOW” of a TAMZtastic design and fail to see the strategy and careful consideration that goes into every page, every link and every element...of course, that’s what we’re paid for. Elements can include video, audio, e-commerce, interactive aspects and animation. MICRO SITE
A micro site is a self-contained site that focuses on a particular product, promotion, service or fun idea and progresses the brand in a novel engaging way. We take that to the next TAMZtastic level.
BANNER ADVERTISING
Since TAMZdesigns opened its doors the world of online advertising has grown. Coincidence? Perhaps. But there’s no arguing that businesses are shifting their media spend more and more to the virtual media that we dominate. Advents in flash, with embedded video and audio, have made this a dynamic unparalleled way to reach customers.
CONTENT MANAGEMENT
If you think this sounds administrative, you’re right. Luckily TAMZ has an obsessive-compulsive side. Content management is made up of the obvious element of content storage as well as creating a framework for the people engaged in collecting, managing and maintaining that content.
RICH MEDIA
This is a category that is much more diverse than many people realize, until the see the way TAMZ does it. In essence rich media is what takes a web page from simply being an electronic brochure to being an interactive experience. Motion. Tickers. Audio. Any element that is embedded or downloadable and adds to the visitors experience can be termed rich media. At TAMZ we’re adding to the list practically everyday.
FLASH INVITES
What would a singing telegram be if you took it digital, removed the cheese factor, sexed it up and delivered it as a sensory explosion directly to your sendee’s email box? That would be a TAMZtastic flash invite. TAMZ can also dial down the sexy and sail through the uprights of branding guidelines for the more corporately inclined.
ANIMATION
Burgers with attitude. Mops that Charleston. Flying through cities. Briskly walking through an as of yet undeveloped property. When you work with TAMZ it’s all possible, through the moving renditions of characters and environments.
THE OFFERINGS: DESIGN True, at TAMZ we made our name with breakout interactive content, both on and offline. But we have the capacity to take our strategically focused philosophy, appraise each client’s brand and explode solutions across the traditional, electronic and guerilla spectrum. Our TAMZtastic approach can be the difference between contributing a strong cohesive campaign and a less effective one-off treatment. ADVERTISING
Advertising is an intrusion, there’s no other way to say it. The secret is to create an engaging TAMZtastic piece that people will welcome into their day. To do this we need to understand our target, understand our client’s product, understand how the target will benefit from the product and present these understandings in an appealing way.
DIRECT MAIL
Again we intrude into the lives of good people who have been selected for their proclivity for a particular product and whose economic and psychographic profile matches our target. Our simply formula: good lists + good insight + good creative = effective communications.
OUT OF HOME
We feel right at home in this expanding category. Once simply billboards it now encompasses everything from bus boards, transit shelters and posters to digital signage, kiosks, guerilla methodologies and whatever else our fertile imaginations can dream up. Challenge us – you’ll be glad you did.
3D/VFX
Step into our latest chapter in brand development. Detailed, reliable, photorealistic 3D renderings and animations perfect for architects, interior designers, developers and advertising agencies. We provide an environment that people can practically step into, walk around and experience — it’s the ability to realize depth and dimension without requiring physical structure.
MOTION
2D/3D animation from the realistic to the highly stylized our production team’s animation skills continue to explode exponentially. Moving with the industry, and pulling a few proprietary tricks, we create everything from low-bandwidth consuming interactive environments to broadcast quality sequences.
POST PRODUCTION
We definitely have a sweet tooth. We sweeten footage like you would not believe. We add the surreal. We heighten the real. There is so much we can do after the image has entered the camera.
