How Signage Can Transform Your Workplace
Most people think of signage as something that belongs outside a building. A shopfront sign. A pylon sign. A directional sign in the carpark. Something that helps customers find you, recognise you and hopefully walk through the door. And yes, signage does that job...
Website Photos for Tradies: Show the Outcome, Not Just the Job
We do a lot of websites for trades. Plumbers. Electricians. Air conditioning companies. Builders. Glaziers. Landscapers. The sorts of businesses doing real, practical, useful work every day. Towards the end of a website project, we usually ask the client for photos....
The Role of Print in Professional Sales Meetings
Recently, I had to give an important presentation in Port Moresby on brand marketing and a rebrand. I did not have much time to prepare, so the obvious things mattered. I needed to nail the speech. I needed clear, useful slides. I needed to understand the audience and...
