INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: Woven brand engagement agency

By Hollie Denby, Head of Sales & Marketing, Woven

Successful branding? It’s about consistency.

As a brand agency with over 20 years’ experience, we know that every interaction with your brand is an opportunity to win a customer. Or lose one.

Businesses understand this when it comes to meetings or phone calls with existing or prospective customers. But they often drop the ball when they translate their brand into the online world.

A brand’s online experience matters as much as its offline one. A business that sells a great product and that has great people can still be undone by a poorly optimised website. It can still be hampered by unengaging email campaigns and a bone-dry social media presence. And it can still fall down due to lacklustre design and forgettable messaging.

Your online brand is a many-sided thing – a blog, a website, an Instagram feed, a banner ad, an automated chatbot. But however it manifests, it must always convey who you are: your values, your identity, and the benefit you bring to the world. 

This is what we do at Woven. We make sure you’re always at your best by putting who you truly are into everything you do. So that no matter how someone interacts with your brand – whether it’s offline or online – you know they’re getting the best possible version of yourself.

Because in a world where brands strive to be everywhere – online, on social media, in print and out of home – it’s never been more important for your voice to be interesting, different and – yes – consistent.

Find your consistent voice at woven.agency.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: New Perspective Digital Print & Creative

As a digital print business with global clients our aim before Covid-19, now and certainly after, is two-fold. Firstly, prioritising the well-being and safety of our staff. Secondly, providing a consistently high-level of service and exceptional print to our clients. Of course, it’s not exactly business as usual, but it is still business.

Similar to other SMEs we have implemented the necessary government measures to ensure our two priorities are maintained. While other print companies are struggling to meet consumer demand, we have had no issues and continue to stick to our client guarantees.

So, if you’re looking for business cards, greetings card, booklets, books, calendars, stationery, posters and everything printable in-between then why not take a look at our website or call our Print team.

In recent months we have expanded to include design and creative services such as, Logo design, Artwork design and Proof-reading.

With New Perspective Digital Print & Creative you can cut out the middle man and get your design and print work done in one place. We offer 3 free pdf amendments to all our clients who print with us.

If you want to see for yourself what we can do, why not ask us for a free sample pack or colour match? We’re here, and we’re ready to help.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: Strange – 20 years of digital

By Strange

2020 marks the 20th anniversary of digital agency Strange, making it one of the longest established specialist agencies in the South of England.

Much has changed in the digital world since Strange began designing and building customised websites from its Bournemouth base in 2000. Now with a second office in Bristol, the agency has become one of the region’s leading providers of digital marketing services, with the main focus on giving businesses a competitive edge by delivering better digital performance.

Today, the focus is on ‘best in class’ CMS and ecommerce websites along with a full range of digital marketing services. As a result, the agency has become a specialist in the open source systems Drupal, Magento and WordPress as well as platforms such as Shopify and Spryker. Digital marketing services include PPC, social media, display, affiliate, SEO, CRM and email marketing, as well as conversion rate optimisation, analytics and tracking.

 “Clients appreciate that what we offer is better digital marketing” explained Paul Honey, Managing Director of Strange. “They know that ‘good’ just isn’t good enough, and understand that ‘the best’ is often unrealistic given budget constraints.”

Clients include companies and non-profits from a wide range of sectors, with Merlin Entertainments, Animal, Amnesty International, Brittany Ferries, Fujifilm and Merlin Entertainments among many others. Strange has also picked up some major awards along the way such as winning the Marketing Excellence in Travel and Tourism award for Merlin (Masterclassing), and Integrated Campaign of the Year for Brittany Ferries (Gold Winner, Chartered Institute of Marketing Travel Awards).

Director and Founder Jonathan Boston said: “Things have certainly changed in the past 20 years with the rise of open source platforms, social media and digital marketing. But no matter how our environment has changed, our team has remained focused on giving clients real value and that will always stay the same.”

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: Fabric frames and lightboxes – Vivid retail displays from Cestrian

The fight for consumer attention has never been tougher – so if you want your retail displays to really stand out, we’ve got a flexible solution to make them bigger, brighter and much, much more beautiful.

Cestrian’s tension fabric systems (TFS) can not only display huge printed graphics, but also accessories such as digital screens and shelves, to celebrate and demonstrate your latest products.

They’re created by stretching digitally printed fabric graphics across modular aluminium frames, for a seamless, crease-free finish. Whether you want to cover an entire wall or introduce a free-standing focal point, fabric frames are versatile and can be tailored to suit any brand or store.

The benefits of Cestrian’s fabric frame displays include:

  • Razor-sharp, vibrant imagery – printed to our impeccable standards
  • A wide choice of textiles, depending on the look you want to create
  • Powder-coated frames to match the colours of your brand
  • A lightweight, flexible design that can be easily transported, stored and installed
  • Easy-to-change graphics, with each new campaign or season
  • Hidden sockets, wires and lights – so you only see the stunning results

And another bright idea…

If you want to make your displays even more dynamic, LED backlighting or edge lighting can be used to illuminate your fabric graphics.

Just like our other frame displays, our fabric light boxes can be single or double-sided, free-standing, wall-mounted, ceiling-hung or simply presented on a counter or table.
