'Everyone lives by
Selling something'
~Robert Louis Stevenson~
Your brand is not merely a logo, or a colour, or a product.
It’s the sum of the connections with your customers,
partners and employees on a daily basis. Creating brand
loyalty and raising profile takes constant nurturing. It is
for this reason, that along with your brand identity logo
and stationery suite, we will show how your brand
personality will cohesively work across marketing &,
corporate literature, product packaging, advertising and
website etc. We would usually supply our clients with a
brand identity guideline document to help maintain the
integrity of the brand across all communication channels
and customers touch points.

The power of creative thinking
A stylish, professional, corporate identity.
Simple, often under-rated, but of immense
marketing power. This is your badge, the face
your company displays to the world. People
speak with words, but they think in pictures.
When they think of your business, they envisage
your signage, your logo, your letterhead, as well
as your people and your products. Make sure you
give them something impressive to think about.

Every year, new powerful brands emerge in the
marketplace to capture strong sales and
customer loyalty. With so many products fighting
for the best position, how can your product stand
out among the clutter? The answer is powerful
product branding. Designing a powerful product

general design agencies or amateurs. It's not just
what your product is that gains consumers

effective as it needs to be, Artefact are ready to

Branding is one of the most crucial (and one of
the most misunderstood) aspects of marketing.
The importance of effective branding cannot be
overstated. Good brands are often the biggest sometimes the only - differentiator between
products. An obvious signature of a brand is a
name and /or logo, but that's just the tip of the
iceberg. Many companies invest huge resources
in developing their brands - often more than
they put into developing their products.
Brand is a big concept. It is about the whole set of
attitudes, values and reputation your name
conveys. A strong brand is a very valuable asset,
so much so that in many cases the brand has a
financial value attributed to it on some corporate
balance sheets. Familiarity leads to feelings of
connectedness. People who feel they know you are
more likely to deal with you than with someone
they don’t know.

Corporate Brochures & Reports

Expert Graphic Design • Branding • Marketing • Web
Everybody asks for your brochure. And
they do read it! At the very least, they
scan through it and it helps them to form
an impression of your company. A
powerful, well expressed, beautifully
designed brochure gets attention and tells
your customers and prospects that you
take yourself, your presentation and your
business seriously. It follows that you will
take them seriously. You are a product or
service provider to be respected. You
need the best! Let us design and produce
a brochure or report that you will be
proud to leave with any contact or
customer.

reader's curiosity about your product

Packaging design is a specialist niche.
Intelligently conceived and well-executed
packaging design is not just about art or
aesthetics. Its primary function is to sell the
product by means of visually communicating
not just one ‘notice me’ message, but up to
several distinct messages which range from
statements about positioning and likely price
to statements about quality, status, dietary
considerations, environmental correctness
and more.

Old MacDonnells - branding and packaging
We delivered a comprehensive brand identity and
packaging design solution for this high quality natural
yoghurt and hummus product range. The feedback
we received from the client was very positive, as they
quickly experienced increased sales following the roll out.
The ability to effectively achieve that
immediate complex of signals through a piece

skill within the graphic design field. Expert
packaging designers are very hard to come
by. Once found, they are highly prized by
customers who appreciate the difference good
packaging design makes to their sales figures.
Oatfield Sweets - Confectionery tins & packs
Top designers imbue packaging with
strong shelf projection as well as with an
engaging attractiveness, a ‘pick up’
quality. This is achieved through
blending creativity in concept
development with experience of what
works in terms of colour, balance,
typography and imagery.

Decades

since
John
Wanamaker made the classic remark that
half his advertising was wasted but he
couldn’t tell which half! Despite many
sophisticated programmes to try to directly
measure the effect of advertising on sales,
the complexity of its effects on our
consciousness will always ensure that the
linkage remains elusive. All we know for
sure is that it works, and experience has
taught us at Artefact, what works and what
does not. It is a matter of the right message
in the right context. Sometimes, it is
enough to let the pictures do the talking.

Advert/Poster Creation
.ie
Expert Graphic Design • Branding • Marketing • Web
Creating visually stunning and memorable
advertising campaigns for FMCG and Corporate
Companies is one of the essential requirements
in developing a holistic and cohesive brand
identity. Effective advertising requires a lot more
than nice looking graphics. Unlike many of our
competitors, as brand consultants, Artefact has
the edge when it comes to creating high quality
intellectual advertising concepts as well as top
notch copywriting solutions. In fact, several of
our clients are Advertising Agencies or Marketing
Companies, who often subcontract this highly
creative work to us.
Fitzpatrick Furniture - Navan
So if you are considering an advertising
campaign, you should be talking to us. Most
general design agencies cannot offer you this
expertise. We can also provide very competitive
Media Booking & Planning through close
partnerships with select advertising agencies.

Point of Sale
Shoppers notice and act upon displays inside
stores and at the shopping malls. Depending
on which survey you read, most evidence
points to the fact that effective Point of Sale
design (and good product packaging) can be
responsible for between 40% to 60% of
purchase decisions, there and then on the
aisle as opposed to 15% conversion from
above the line activities.
Your POS projects stand a much better chance
of success by working with Artefact Ltd, rather
than entrusting this highly specialised work to
general purpose designers.
