What are you made of? – Fitness versus fatness.

7th June 2010 by Frank Norman

For both athletes and the general population, your body composition is an essential measure of health and fitness.

With 2012 on the horizon, professional sportsmen and women know there is nothing more detrimental than carrying out dead weight. So, for those considering a weight loss program, accurately assessing your body fat percentage is one of the most important measurements you can take.

Moreover, with the knowledge that excess body fat is directly linked with a number of serious medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, accurate measurement and continual monitoring is crucial.

Founded in 1923, Tanita Corporation is an ethical health care product manufacturer. They are the supplier of choice for body composition monitors, and supply their monitors to fitness and health organisations, surgeries, clinics as well as to the end consumer. Tanita monitors provide instant measurement, not just of weight but also:

  • Body Fat
  • Visceral Fat
  • Body Water
  • Muscle Mass
  • Bone Mineral Mass
  • Daily Energy Requirement

With the London Olympics only 2 years away, Tanita Corporation made the decision to push their brand and products further into Europe through international print advertising for both consumer and trade campaigns. And in March 2010 following a creative pitch from several marketing communications agencies, Tanita Europe selected Design Inc as their preferred partner.

Our winning creative promotes an aspirational message: healthy bodies tattooed with a ‘food packaging ingredients’ list.

Design Inc Marketing Consultant David Parker says, “We wanted to show just how delicately balanced the human body is and show just what the healthy body is made of. We are all made of the same stuff, although of course, the amounts differ from one person to the next. Our creatives provide the message that Tanita body composition monitors accurately keep your health on track to what is right for you. The new Tanita advertising campaign has been designed to provide a simple, strong and on-brand message. We look forward in ensuring this campaign is delivered over the next two years.”

The Design Inc team were involved with all aspects of this advertising design campaign including:

  • Creative & Marketing Strategy
  • Creative Design
  • Artworking
  • Copy Writing
  • Photo Shoot
  • Photo Manipulation
  • Models
  • Project Management

Farnborough Fly Past

28th May 2010 by Dan Gilbert

The SBAC Farnborough Airshow returns this July. Some of you are no doubt planning how to fulfil the strategic potential of the investment in your exhibit. Who remembers when SBAC stood for Society of British Aircraft Constructors and when the show was held at other venues like Hatfield and Radlett. The halcyon days to many! The era of the test pilots and British companies at the cutting edge of both military and commercial aviation, avionics, missiles, satellites and rocketry.

Today’s Farnborough is a shop window for the World’s aerospace industry. Ensuring that a presence at the show maximises the return on cost requires detailed planning, Prospect and customer relationship management, hospitality, some ear-to the ground market intelligence and guerrilla tactics.

Getting a hearing in a crowded room, full of competing vendors can be a challenge. However getting a large chunk of your target audience in one place at one time is still a logistical opportunity to be made the most of.

Design Inc help clients focus on the event attendees that count and put together tailored packages to support the dialogue and engagement between visitors and hosts.  You may have existing clients to entertain, prospects who are about to become clients to close deals with, you will certainly have contacts you will want to network with and colleagues you will want to exchange best practice and insights with.

As a creative design company providing online marketing strategies, including corporate identity creation, digital email marketing campaigns and corporate video presentations. It Is not too late to create some Farnborough related PR interest, client hospitality or sponsorship campaigns in connection with the networking events, seminars or the exciting Futures Day aimed at getting young minds thinking about flight and space engineering.

Everyone has a favourite ‘Farnborough’ story or memory, what ‘s yours? My own is borrowed from dad I’m afraid – but witnessing a DH Mosquito flypast at zero feet with BOTH props feathered takes some beating in my book!

Please leave a comment; we’d love to hear some myths too!

EBACE 2010 – Next stop, The Farnborough Airshow 2010

18th May 2010 by Dan Gilbert

Thursday the 6th of May saw the close of EBACE 2010 which by all accounts was very successful.

The main story of this year’s exhibition was the growing optimism within the private jet sector of the aviation industry which is being fueled by increasing demand for business jets within the $25m category. Even the various proposed new supersonic jet projects are gaining momentum with talk that we may actually see one built within the decade!

Client wise, Bombardier is forging ahead with the development of the new Learjet 85. Currently, tooling and production processes are being finalised and the first model should be ready at the end of the year. The Learjet 85 will continue to deliver the outstanding performance, technology and value Learjet aircraft owners have come to expect. The Learjet 85 is the first all-composite structure business jet too!

Also, Bombardier has just opened its first wholly-owned European service centre at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The facility features 4,240 sq. meters (45,639 sq. feet) of hangar space, includes a staff count of approximately 50 and is equipped to perform a variety of maintenance tasks.

The next big aviation exhibition is the Farnborough International Airshow 2010 on the 19th of July through to the 25th. There will be the usual mix of commerce, networking, displays and entertainment. Design Inc will be in attendance throughout providing marketing support and assistance to our exhibiting clients with the set up and display of the exibition stands and show literature we’re currently designing for them. Hopefully see you there!

Subsea UK – Newsletter Design & Publishing Services

7th May 2010 by Frank Norman

Design Incorporated has always been proud to support Subsea UK with all their above and below-the-line marketing collateral.

This support extends across all aspects, covering branding, websites, advertising, events, exhibitions, directories, brochures and newsletters.

As the governing body for the UK’s subsea industry, working alongside government, industry bodies, research & education institutes as well as for the benefit of the 1000 UK companies and 50,000 people involved in the industry, it is crucial that their message and creative profile is always accurate, trustworthy & knowledgeable.

Aberdeen-based Subsea UK rely on creative agency Design Inc not just for these values but also to manage their needs in the most cost-effective, hassle-free and innovative ways.

The publishing of the quarterly Subsea UK newsletter is just one of many design & creative projects for which Design Inc is responsible.

Design Inc Commercial Director, Frank Norman explains “A well-designed newsletter campaign can be a great way not just to inform your subscribers of all your company’s latest news, products & services, but also to keep your name on their ‘radar’ to maintain & enhance customer relations. For Subsea UK however, the newsletter keeps all subscribers informed of the latest trends, innovations & research within the industry as a whole as well as providing a platform for industry bodies, members and associated companies to announce their own news.”

Paul Munday, Design Inc’s Creative Director adds, “How our clients’ brand identity and values are effectively reflected through their corporate literature will be at the heart of our newsletter design concepts. For Subsea UK, we have always opted for a more news-based creative style with a more conceptual design style being implemented when the publication coincides with a major industry event.”

Paul continues, “The way the process works couldn’t be simpler. Subsea UK, their members and associated companies are invited to provide their latest news and press releases, and once approved by Subsea UK we are responsible for artworking, formatting, illustration, image supply and image retouching where required. We also offer the full range of litho and digital print management services ensuring this publication perfectly meets the required quality, cost and timescale.”
