The Perfect Blend: When design meets marketing in a perfect mix.

As technology becomes increasingly influential, the boundaries of traditional marketing need to stretch and evolve and multi-channel marketing campaigns should be carefully thought out to match the goals and objectives of the brand.

I’ve built Visual 8 as a nimble creative studio with a flexible structure that allows for solid collaboration with other industry specialists. In this way, I’m better equipped to develop great creative solutions that’s centred around the client’s needs. I run Visual 8 as an ambitious, creative freelancer and consultant with a love for all things ‘design’. I project manage and consult on all work that is briefed in and call on my network of outsourced expertise when and if required. This flexible structure allows you to engage with me as you would a traditional agency but on an ad-hoc basis. I’m personally involved in producing the best creative work and offering valuable advice throughout the process.

The services I offer are:

• CREATIVE: Branding, Graphic Design and Advertising.

I have extensive experience and a thorough understanding of graphic design for both print and digital use. At Visual 8 I am able to offer graphic design for both Above-the-Line (ATL) and Below-the-Line (BTL) advertising.

• DIGITAL: Website Design and Development, Digital and Social Media.

I have a good understanding of the link between digital communication and the human experience, in marketing and design. The vast reach of this media type and its ability to gauge immediate responses is overwhelming.

In collaboration with my tech-orientated associates, I take pride in creating clear and effective online communications to support your business growth strategy. Building an online presence specific to your brand is vital in the ever-changing tech landscape. Whatever digital services you are looking for, I am confident that I can help.

• MARKETING: Marketing Plan and Strategy Outline

Think of your marketing strategy as the ‘recipe’ for your business. It lists all the ingredients you need to create success. Without a comprehensive outline of your marketing strategy that includes your business goals, you don’t have a solid foundation on which to formulate the marketing plan, which is effectively the ‘method’ you’ll use to achieve those goals effectively and will ensure a good return on investment (ROI).

I offer hand-holding Sessions to formulate a marketing strategy outline and help you plot out your marketing plan within your budget.

• GIFTS: Bespoke Gift Concepts, Branded Gift Items, Corporate Clothing and Merchandise

An integral part of marketing and branding is the creation of industry-specific promotional merchandise. At Visual 8 I custom create or source branded gifts, rewards, prizes and giveaways for corporate and other clients. I am able to brand almost anything with your company or personal logo – all you have to do is imagine it. I’ve also custom designed and created some effective marketing tools, desk drops and 3D function invitations.

If you are an entrepreneur or owner of a retail or corporate business and would like to know more about how you can leverage your brand’s potential. I offer retainers for clients who need ongoing design, branding or advertising requirements at accessible pricing with payment terms suitable to your budget.

I don’t regularly send out emails and I am not a fan of spam but if you subscribe to my mailing list you’ll be notified of any news from my side.
