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. Media Kit 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 (EPK), a phenomena still in its toddler years, include both pre-cut video news stories as well as the raw footage. Collaterals While predominately printed materials, collateral material can be anything that provides both a quick glimpse or a more In-depth look into your company and/or company offerings — everything from one-sheets to videos to brochures to manuals to prestige print pieces that highlight company virtues. A trade video or print piece can be anything from how to put together a cabinet to a tourism promotion. In fact, we can render animations to mpeg and burn them as DVD’s for a simplified trade video approach without an elaborate location shoot. 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 Words, when combined and paced correctly create both mood and psychological impact. Combined 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. We constantly review the book to make certain it’s still good. Naming Some people say 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.

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 TAMZ 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 Science has decreed that we breakdown web pages into elemental sub-plutonic…just pulling your leg — a micro site is a self contained site that focuses on a particular product, promotion, service or fun idea that progresses the brand on a sub-plutonic level…. Content Management If you think this sounds administrative, you’re right. 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. 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 attempting to add to the list 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 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. It’s all possible, through the moving renditions of characters and environments. BANNER ADVERTISING The world of online advertising is growing. Multi-nationals are shifting their media spend more and more to the virtual media. Advents in flash, with embedded video and audio, have made this a dynamic way to reach your customer. We’re not saying that there’s no longer limitation of file size, but if you know the rules limitations practical disappear.

True, TAMZ made its 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. It 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 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. Or simply put: good lists + good insight + good creative = effective communications. Out-of-home This is an expanding category, once simply billboards it now encompasses not only busboards, transit shelters and posters but also digital signage, kiosks, guerilla methodologies and whatever else our fertile imaginations can dream up.

MOTION 2D/3D Animation From the realistic to the highly stylized, the animation skills of our production team continue to explode exponentially.
