Ageas re-brand internal launch

EC Design and Marketing has been working with Fortis head office on the launch of the re-brand to their internal stakeholders. We are currently communicating to all UK staff the new name change, through internal communication projects that include hula-hoop competitions, newsletters and office standees. We have co-ordinated all the activity throughout the UK to ensure that the re-brand information has been communicated effectively and to everybody at the same time.

We even managed to make sure that large branded cakes was delivered to every Fortis office and that every member of staff had a piece to celebrate the 'birth' of the brand. One of the highlights of the communication was the hula-hoop competition where every office had the chance to compete nationally for a prize, so far the longest time is over 5-hours!... a great brand, we had great fun with the launch!

A Super Craft Story

EC Design and Marketing have just completed an exciting project with Craft Superstore... their first product brochure!

The brochure has been designed to clearly display a selection of their extensive product range with subtle crafting elements to inspire creativity and appeal to the avid ‘crafter’.



The Craft Superstore logo is mirrored throughout the brochure using its colours and shapes to leave a lasting impression of the brand.

We have previously worked with Craft Superstore on other marketing material including a series of promotional flyers.

We feature in Design Week!

OK, it is pretty small, but nevertheless, we are proud that Design Week has featured our work...

Weymouth College 2011 Full-Time Prospectus

We have just completed the design and production of the Weymouth College full-time Prospectus for 2011. We worked closely with their marketing department and students in producing an inspiring 120 page Prospectus aimed at future students wishing to find out about the college and courses on offer. We used exciting imagery and typography to create a distinctive style.

We also used real quotes from the students as well as famous quotations from inspirational celebrities and well know figures such as Muhammad Ali, Bill Gates and Sir Henry Royce.

This is the showpiece brochure for the college and we designed it to be extremely practical in size. A further consideration was to position Weymouth College in line with the Olympics in 2012 and to highlight to potential students, not only the vibrancy of the town, but ways to get involved through Ambassador and Worldskills opportunities. The cover reflects the sea and energy and we hope that the style appeals to not only existing students but future ones too.
