Project Brief
Conservative, the voice of reason, intelligent — charismatic yet a little bit nerdy! We embraced the characteristics of Lisa Simpson in developing a "measured" approach to brand development. This fantastic metaphor of character allowed our pendulum to swing between seriousness and humour across copywriting and design.
Project Innovation / Need
Defined by a number — everything is "measured" in approach, intelligent in execution and, at times, a appropriately humorous*. The brandmark double-underscores 35 experience, and a strength in partnership among business and clients that provides awareness, resonance and warmth.
See coffee cups and expo banners.
Design Challenge
We had to develop a voice that spoke to architects, builders, project managers, schools, councils, aged care providers, banks and property developers — clients spanning many sectors — each looking to procure a 'cost consultant' who understands their project vision and can deliver outcomes that meet budget and exceed imagination.
Evoke quality with economy.
Imagination with conservatism.
Professionalism with a sense of charisma.
Sustainability
Creation of a digital supply chain (website, electronic direct mail, digital templating) all contributed to a reduced requirement for print production in stationery and brochure. That said — a lovely 20pp brochure was still required to further demonstrate an appropriate regard for quality and creativity that only the tactile can deliver.
