Corporate tender documents There is a huge market for creating corporate tenders to suit the needs of every potential client. With MITIE their tender teams have won a much higher percentage of tender bid’s due to the professionalism, and demonstrating a complete understanding of each individual client’s brand. This has made MITIE stand out above all other competitors and always shows that willingness to go that extra mile. It’s amazing what a bit of initiative can mean to the success of a company.
Featured here are some of the recent tender campaigns for clients including, Hiscox, Barclays, Sainsbury’s, Astrazeneca, Cable & Wireless and LDSI. This has been the most blooming part of our business and the success stories speak for themselves.

Marketing material Being involved in marketing material and campaigns gives us a chance to challenge another passion of ours... the psychology of business and the way the general public re-acts to certain things.
On the following pages are a couple of our recent marketing campaigns including work for Merrill Lynch, MITIE’s multimedia company, Ingredients catering and MITIE’s Client services

Merrill Lynch has a client room centre open for clients around the world to use when they visit London. These rooms are equipped with all the latest technology and even has an outside entertaining area when business gets to serious. The client asked us to photograph all the rooms and create a brochure that gives potential users/hirers the technical specifications of each room to help them with their choice in advance.

Events
Designing for events gives you the chance to break free from the usual brand guidelines and push the limits. Definitely one of our favorite areas to be involved in as it normally offers a great deal of involvement. The following pages features a couple of recent events we’ve worked on as well as some photography opportunities.
01. STRUT
MITIE Client services hosted a uniform and clothing range fashion show in Channel 4’s London building. This was a large campaign and had various design and creative elements. The client asked us to not only come up with a brand, logo and various design pieces, but also do the events photography.

Branding Branding is one of the most challenging design and underestimated processes in our opinion. It could be listed in it’s own category of design as you get specialists that are extremely talented in this field alone. We love this challenge and here are some of our recent branding results.
01. MITIE Rebranding project
MITIE has existed for more than 20 years. They wanted to add another dimension to their look. For this project a team effort was definitely needed. We came up with a style that would not only compliment their existing material, but also take the brand forward. We gave them a friendly (no-small talk) approach that gets down to business.
Logo and assets:
New font, extra colour swatch to already existing palette and additional Logo to support MITIE logo. Set of quote examples to demonstrate new tone of voice.

Adverts as they would appear in public
MITIE is build around it’s people. So we wanted to make potential clients realise that by ‘introducing their staff’ to them. Above is a representation of the advertising campaign, creating the sense of knowing the individual instead of a cold brand.
We have adapted the current MITIE blue to one that is much warmer and ‘passionate’. We also came up with a new MITIE language to complement their ‘people approach’. A set of quotes are set up for all employees to easily access and drop into any marketing material they set up. Not only did we have to come up with a style, but also a user friendly approach for all 49 000 employees to use.

Who we aim to service
Good reliable support services will save you money not cost you money. Our proposition is to turn your support organization into a Value Center not a Cost Center Are these services a “Cost” to the business or a “Value”? Our job at Persona will be to always present the value of our services and never position our services as a cost. Value to the bottom line earnings of our clients will be derived from our investment supporting our customers top line performance. This does not mean our services cost more, just that we create value at every customer touch point.

We aim to provide professional services to professional firms. We are a highly focused employee owned service organization, not a large impersonal corporation and as such we are singularly focused on providing services to like-minded organizations, that place a high value on their people, services, success and reputation.
Example of the Persona Value Center – Chain Reaction
As an entirely employee owned corporation our shareholders are the very people who serve our customers every day. We therefore have a close and intimate relationship between our shareholders and customers which simply cannot be replicated by our large corporate counterparts.

Welcome to
NEW YORK A ProPosAl for the Provision of office suPPort services for Anheuser-Busch inBev new York offices
01
Our main mission is to assist Anheuser-Busch InBev to fulfill its dream… by supporting the best new office of the best beer company in a better world.
Executive Summary We are very pleased to present Anheuser-Busch InBev’s with a proposal for the provision of a comprehensive suite of support services to their new ground breaking New York office at 250 Park Avenue. We fully understand the enormity and importance of supporting this very high profile office for AnheuserBusch InBev.
we appreciate that the decision to set up this office in New York City was not one taken lightly. Indeed the move was well covered, in the international, financial and trade press. We understand that the former InBev NV roots trace back to 1366 in Leuven, Belgium, and the company did not wish to appear in any way to be moving its corporate headquarters to NYC. However, the offices at 250 Park, although not the HQ, we understand will act as a second home to the top executives, such as Carlos Brito and Felipe Dutra who will divide their time between Leuven and New York City. The offices will therefore be one of the two highest profile offices for the company and as such must be supported by a truly five star service commensurate with a company with the global presence and reputation of Anheuser-Busch InBev. This proposal comes at a very exciting time. CMS-FM has recently created a new division specifically for clients, like Anheuser-Busch InBev, who are seeking quality, value, and efficiency through a true outsourced partnership rather than the traditional customer vendor relationship.
CMS has identified a significant gap in the market for outsourced support services. While many firms offer to save their clients money by providing lower cost personnel, lower staffing levels, and simply attempt to lessen their staff issues; no company seems to be approaching the service proactively and positively through the provision of an efficiently managed operation utilizing highly valued, fairly compensated, well trained and closely managed teams of support service staff and professionals. We will deliver fresh thinking and critically a concentration on the human element of support service in order to fill this significant gap in the outsourced support service marketplace. We are not a multi-national conglomerate, catering company, postal authority or equipment manufacturer. We are a medium sized business that’s 100% focused on Office Support Services; our people that deliver them, and your people that receive them. To that end we have named the new division of CMS-FM, Persona Support Services.
09
Proposal Overview Our proposal is designed to promote discussion, debate and resulting decisions. It is not meant as a detailed prescriptive blue print on how Persona would manage ABI’s Support Services. Rather this document is a proposal on how we could provide the services in a more efficient and effective manner, whereby achieving our three core objectives of increased service, decreased cost and removal of human resource exposure.
(
(
Our proposal is designed to promote discussion, debate and resulting decisions.
After all, our mission, while looking to achieve our three core objectives, is to do so in a manner keeping with the company’s culture, philosophy and preferences. The key is in one of the abstract definitions of the name of our company.
According to Pruitt and Adlin (2006),[2] the use of personas offers several benefits (cf. Grudin and Pruitt, 2002; Cooper, 1999). Personas are said to be cognitively compelling because they put a personal human face on otherwise abstract data about customers. Personas also help prevent some common design pitfalls which may otherwise be easy to fall into. Defining personas helps the team have a shared understanding of the real users in terms of their goals, capabilities and contexts. Personas also help prevent “self referential design” when the designer or developer may unconsciously project their own mental models on the product design which may be very different from that of the target user population. Personas also provide a reality check by helping designers keep the focus of the design on cases that are most likely to be encountered for the target users and not on edge cases which usually won’t happen for the target population. The benefits are summarized as (Cooper, 1999):
• Help team members share a specific, consistent understanding of various audience groups. Data about the groups can be put in a proper context and can be understood and remembered in coherent stories. • Proposed solutions can be guided by how well they meet the needs of individual user personas. Features can be prioritized based on how well they address the needs of one or more personas. • Provide a human “face” so as to focus empathy on the persons represented by the demographics.
Proposal Description Our proposal will: • Explain our approach to moving a new organization into new offices for a new company. We will also detail the intensive service design and staff development that we will deploy in order to meet the objectives. • Provide an overview of the tools in which we would use to manage the service in a formal, structured, yet innovative manner in order to provide better visibility and accountability for the service. This will improve customer perception, trust and access, while also providing the management team the statistical information to pro-actively manage the service moving forward. • Provide an overview of our implementation process that will include our approach to change management and personal development. • Provide a proposed time-line for the deployment of our proposal.

Photography Another passion of ours is photography and we have worked on some great shoots since both in London and Cape Town. Photography not only allows you to get some time out of the office and meeting loads of people, but is also an amazing medium we like to use in our own creative designs. It is the best ways to get your ideas you have in mind into realisation.
Here’s a couple of events we’ve captured recently. From company family days/kids events, jewelry shoots, weddings, boxing/sports events and company team building day’s out.
