  Hammond Manufacturing Brand Identity and Packaging
  Hammond Manufacturing is a Canadian electronics manufacturing company with a global sales network. Our first project with Hammond was to create new packaging for their line of power outlet strips. The existing packaging was dated, and needed a new look. Because this product is used for industrial purposes and sold through electrical distributors, we decided to create eye-catching packaging with an edgy industrial feel. We carried this project through from concept to completion including branding, photography, and production. The new updated packaging now looks as good as the products inside, and sales are rising every year.
 
  Waterford Master Cutter Direct Mail Campaign
 

Each year, Waterford Wedgwood Crystal hosts a Master Cutter Event at select retail locations across Canada. The event provides retailers with an opportunity to invite their customers to come in and meet the Wedgwood Master Cutter. Guests may also be among the first to purchase one of the cutter’s latest hand cut crystal creations.

Our job was to develop materials, which included in-store POS and customizable direct mail pieces, to promote each Master Cutter Event and new crystal creation.

We directed the entire project from concept to completion including creative development, photography, copywriting, printing, finishing, and shipping to all locations across Canada. The event grows by 15%-20% each year.

 
  Caribbean ICE Beer Print Promotions
 

In a joint effort with the Cuban government, we launched Caribbean Ice Beer. The campaign was a two-pronged approach. The first objective was to entice foodservice establishments into offering a new beer to their customers, and the second was to encourage tourists to purchase Caribbean Ice Beer by providing the venues with impactful sales materials.

We developed the overall image for Caribbean Ice Beer. In order to better appeal to comfort level of tourists, we presented the product to look like a domestic beer. We created a sales kit for the trade consisting of clear and concise materials. After the product was sold in to the venues, we outfitted them with these Caribbean Ice Beer-branded materials: neon window signs, bar coasters, matches, shirts, table toppers, and menus. We also sourced premiums and large inflatables to make Caribbean Ice Beer beach events successful.

Caribbean Ice Beer has been so well received in Cuba, that the brewery is exploring the opportunity of importing into Europe and Australia.

 
  Gilbey Canada National Cross Promotion
  The goal was to breathe new life into Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey.
We created an ‘extreme fishing’ cross promotion that targeted a heavily male skewed audience between the ages of 25-55. The program was promoted in LCBO locations across Canada, and through an ad campaign in targeted fishing magazines. We created the theme and overall look, established cross promotion partners, and handled all contest fulfillment and prize redemption. At the end of the eight-week promotional period, Black Velvet was alive and well with a 43% rise in sales during the promotion and a whopping 260% return on investment.
 
  Country Style Donuts National Cross Promotion
  Country Style Donuts needed a promotion that would drive sales. We created the Turn up a Winner program. We handled all aspects of the promotion: from initial creative to the development of in-store POS materials; from negotiating with cross promotion partners to all contest fulfillment and prize redemption. The program generated an increase in foot traffic and drive-through sales from 19% - 32%.
