Every business at some stage needs to add to its online graphic content, illustrations aid the message you are sending out to potential clients/customers. Similarly it is also needed for print work, display items and more. I have talked a lot about design styles. There are all too many usual business images – corporate and similar design styles. There are times, though, when you need to do something a little different. Perhaps it is the social sector you want to talk to – perhaps they are of a slightly different age group or perhaps have a different taste in visual styles.

Take a little time to think about what you need to express and then how to do it – what resources will you need? Perhaps a slightly arty approach might be useful every once in a while.

Marketing to Millennials

Posted on August 29, 2019 by f4mmedia

As you may well know I am well away from that age bracket and yes there are so many times when I am in need of a translator when dealing with such. I do manage to get through every once in a while … sometimes even without my smartphone in my hand! OMG!

Every age group has its own tastes, tendencies, particular language and use of equipment/machines/apps/channels blah blah … For those of us who remember black and white tv getting through either business wise or personally to those of a very different age range – well it’s difficult … jus totes! yes just playing …

Everything has a history and the way you present yourself needs to fit in with what is happening now – even if it points back to a time that has gone. We all know that retro stylings have their uses – flavas change, move on and sort of return even if it has a different palette. Take a think! Take a look! Have a memory moment …

Having a website used to be for only the big boys, now it is a necessary reference point. Using social media was just something individuals did to pass time and deal with friends etc. making them, keeping them, entertaining them, now it is part of the brand conversation. Video used to be just a tv thing or for corporations, now it is for all of us and to post on social media!!!

Marketing Tools and more help and ideas

Posted on January 15, 2019 by f4mmedia

It has been said recently once again that businesses without some form of social media presence or at least a basic online presence have little chance. Of course small local businesses such as corner shops and the like are not included within this judgement, but others, those supplying services and goods normally need something that allows people to refer to them, to find them in a basic way. Most of us spend huge amounts of time online. Back in the old days all you could see were people with a newspaper, magazine or such printed matter in front of them – on the bus, the park bench, in the pub, the cafe. Now it is a case of eyes and hands fixed on phones, tablets, laptops, desktop screens.

Your online presence needs to reach people properly. Words are a large part of that. Images and video add to the whole experience, the meaning of the message, the information provided, to the whole process of branding.
