Tips on coordinating your marketing materials

Have you seen the Snickers campaign that featured goofy phrases like "Substantialiscious" instead of "Snickers" inside their familiar logo. The ads worked because the candy bar has strong brand recognition. Brands gain recognition by repeated exposing customers and prospects to the logos, fonts, colors and design styles that make up their brand identity.

Innovative Schools came to Hollister to strengthen its identity. The organization, which supports the development of excellent schools, already had a beautiful logo. The logo appeared on all promotional materials, as it should. But the materials were a mish-mash of fonts, colors and design styles.

Hollister developed a strong identity for Innovative Schools by:

  • Selecting a family of fonts and colors that complement the logo.
     
  • Creating a distinctive design style.

The identity comes across clearly in a new folder and related pieces promoting specific programs. Now, people who see one Innovative Schools promotional piece will recognize the brand when they see a second piece. The more often that happens, the more familiar the brand will become.
