Strong brand, strong message

Barney Sanders — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:42:38 +0000

When a new company needed to kick start it’s brand who did they call? (no not Ghostbusters)… yes us!

Portcullis Hotel Investment are a new player, but old hand, in the marketplace and we’re very happy that after a consultation with us about their brand and the who’s, why’s and what’s they felt that we had the skills to deliver.

So we did… On brief and in budget, simple as that.

Red Octopus looks “beautifully brilliant”

Barney Sanders — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:08:30 +0000

May has been a busy month so far for the Studio Republic team. Another site has gone live and as a result we’ve got another happy customer. By all accounts they enjoyed the experience too! Here’s what they had to say…

“A big thank you from all of red octopus for making our website, brochures, B-cards and banner so beautifully brilliant! The new bits and bobs have made our company look very professional and we are more confident in selling ourselves in schools and at festivals!”

Red Octopus Movement and Visual Arts is a community arts organisation that uses sensory performing arts to stimulate, educate and excite young people. We redesigned their old site and gave their business cards and brochure a face lift as well.

Thank you Red Octopus – we had fun!

International Pathfinder Solutions (IPS) needed a corporate identity and turned to Studio Republic. IPS equip any commercial enterprise or individuals with ground truth facts about emerging international markets.

IPS needed an identity that would be strong, bold and memorable – job done, wouldn’t you agree?!

We’re now turning our attention to their website and stationery, we’ll let you know when the IPS site goes live.

Hampshire Dance presents – U.Dance

We were very happy to be asked by Hampshire Dance to produce a promotional leaflet for their latest show.

Taking place in at the Brighton Dome on the 21st Feb. The leaflet is as bright and as impactful as no doubt the performance itself will be. We hope it’s a great success – good luck U.Dance!

Studio Republic were approached by SEEDA to produce initial designs for a series of brochures to help promote and encourage new business to the South East, Hampshire and Isle of Wight region.

The result is this 8 page gate-fold brochure that can be used for overseas shows and as a quick reference guide of the area’s facilities.

Tourism South East members see the benefit

Barney Sanders — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:29:41 +0000

Cracking straight into 2010 and we’ve just finished the new look Tourism South East membership benefits literature.

We needed to embrace all aspects of the South East and with this bright and breezy style we’ve achieved exactly that.

Seasonal greetings cards from the ICI-UKBA

OK Christmas is definitely fast approaching (and it seems to get earlier each year!).

We’ve just completed a Seasonal Reception invitation for the ICI-UKBA (that’s the short version of the Independent Chief Inspector of the UK Border Agency).

A very tasty looking card printed on a heavy uncoated stock that just shouts quality and style.

Friends of the Republic

As our new studio has the room to accommodate 1000 small elephants we thought it was time we dedicated a small part of this to our clients (and we thought elephants would get in the way of the work).

We are proud to unveil the client wall – everyone gets their own bubble complete with logo so next time you pop in to see us take a minute to stop and admire our creative handywork – oh, and your logo!

Behold the wall…

Agent Smart website goes in for “some work”

Barney Sanders — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:35:37 +0000

Being very LA… err no err… well Hampshire, Agent Smart has “had some work done”.

Never fear he doesn’t now resemble a cross between Katie Price and a Sherlock Holmes, that really would be too scary to share here! The new improved website design has gone live now and as facelifts go, it has been rather successful.

Check out the all new improved homepage at: www.agentsmart.co.uk and while you’re there don’t forget to have a go at the 12 days of Christmas quiz for your chance to win some of the finest Hampshire wine available.
