Its been a busy start to 2011 for Truth Marketing. We’ve been in deep consultations with Caffe Vero (Italy’s coffee of choice) over marketing strategies targeting the massive growth industry of coffee suppliers. This industry is currently monopolised by La Vazza and Illy who are also two fine coffee Brands. With an industry worth billions Caffe Vero of Italy are now looking to expand their brand to the far reaches of Europe and America and have been in heavy talk with Truth on ways to target the UK Market.

Having researched the three coffee brands we’ve found encouraging evidence that Caffe Vero is actually prefered to the better known brands. Along with a push to raise brand awareness in the B2B through targeted communications,  Caffe Vero are also looking to target large super stores with point of sale promotions to drive sales and awareness.

Truth Marketing have been consulting for NCC on behalf of their latest and proudest visitor attraction – the Robin Hood Visitor Centre. Plans have finally been signed and the launch should be in 2011. With plans to originally launch sooner NCC were advised from Truth to partner the new Ridley Scott film, Robin Hood, which would have been the perfect exposure for Nottinghams premier visitor centre. Having worked with Truth on the precurment of that partnership promotion, it was finally stopped due to new budgeting and scheduling.

With many twists and turns in this years council budget and the delay of the visitor centre it has been eventually agreed to promote a Robin Hood Month of May and a joint promotion with the Hollywood blockbuster opening. It looks set to be an action packed month with festivities and events promoted all over the counties historic locations. The community of Nottinghamshire will be dining yet again on the legend of Robin Hood, first with a Hollywood blockbuster and then weekend after weekend of events. After a particularly dificult winter It will prove to be a wonderful way to start the summer and a great alternative in promoting the new visitor centre.

Graphic Design Midlands – Design that sells, Truth Marketing.

April 20th, 2010

So often we see great design that aesthetically pleases in our industry. It looks great, uses the latest fonts that are cool and current, along with the latest ways to manipulate programmes for the latest cutting edge imagery. But is this style over substance? Having been in the graphic design midlands industry for 15yrs I have seen the Design ‘latest’ become the ‘late’ many times now and I ask myself is this marketing? Marketing that sells? Marketing that is focused on results and objectives or design focused on… well, design.

Design that sells

We believe that design has an important role to play within the delivery of a project, but for us design comes into play much later in the process after we have created the substance needed to ’sell’.

Vodafone – Truth Marketing

Above is what we regard as the perfect blend of style with substance. Design has been engaged heavily in this campaign we did for Vodafone, but not without the whole strategic process and USP directing us to do so. Therefore the design is more purposeful and directly relevant to the end consumer and sales were significantly higher.

Packaging

From brand to packaging, web to direct mail, point of sale to online marketing, advertising to sales promotion, our primary focus is of selling our clients products and services with clear strategic thinking and creative work focused on our end consumers needs. Design is then used to unite all of the marketing objectives but with clear direction born from our process. Using this direction, over use of design and ’style’ over ’substance’ is avoided, as we create highly effective marketing with the correct balance of design.

How to design a poster

April 7th, 2010

Basic principles of design

  • A poster is a visual representation of information and should be designed as such – do not reproduce your written paper in poster format.
  • It should be understandable to the reader without verbal comment as you will most likely never be around when your audience will be viewing it. Keep it simple, informative but to the point with a ‘call to action’ at the end.
  • Remember, you are trying to catch the delegate’s attention so impactful and intelligent design is needed alongside a headline that inspires the viewer to read the rest of the communication.
