why choose Zebra
Have a look at the companies we’ve worked with, look, there are major blue chip companies such as Fuji, Haymarket, Kodak, DuPont and Sun Chemical. Oh, and look here, there’s some magazine work across titles as diverse as BBC Good Food, What Car, Smash Hits and Motorcycle News.
And here’s a bit of advertising work with McCann Erickson doing all sorts of things from Lucent Technologies to Toby Grills. Fancy a bit of public sector? If you keep on digging you’ll find the Department of Trade and Industry and some G8 summit organisation.
What about running The Zuckerman lecture given by Al Gore at the Royal Society and receiving personal thanks from him for delivering such a slick event?
Digging into our bag of people and their experience is a bit like digging into a ladies handbag, it’s almost bottomless and you’ll normally find what you need somewhere. So, you see, talking to us will always turn up some thing useful.
We would just like to make it perfectly clear here that the gentlemen at Zebra Colour do not go rooting around uninvited in ladies handbags. If the truth be told, even if we are invited we’re a bit scared and like to just hand the handbag over to a qualified lady. So long as that’s quite clear.
Need a brochure? Know what your products do but every time you try and write it down it sounds daft? Have a chat with us, not only will we hone your words into finely crafted prose we’ll also make it look good. You never know, we might even have some good marketing advice to give you too.
Well, that’s all sorted then isn’t it? You’ve got your brochure on the computer, now you just have to speak to all the printers you know. But wait, you don’t know any printers. Good job we do then. We’ll liaise with the printers and make sure your brochures arrive where you want them, when you want them, looking just as stunning as you’d expected them to. We’ll also be here to get some more printed when you run out.
We can do this for anything else you’d expect your marketing department to do. If you’ve always known that you really ought to be producing a newsletter to keep in touch with your customers and tell them your latest news, we can do that for you too. And while we’re talking about your news, how is it that your competitors always seem to have stuff about them in the trade press? Wouldn’t you know it, they’ve got a marketing department who make sure that they send regular press releases to the trade press. They also coordinate this with specific features the magazines are doing and any advertising they do so they always stand a good chance of getting their news published. At the risk of repetition, work with Zebra Colour and you’ll have a marketing department too so your press releases will always hit the right desks and appear in print.
We define it as when a client knows what they want to achieve but has to go and lock themselves into a darkened room when they begin to think of all the things that need to be done to achieve it. And even when they are calmly lying in their darkened room they keep remembering other things that will need to be done that they hadn’t thought of before. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Talk to us, it’ll be like going on holiday as a child – did you ever worry about packing when you were a child or worry about the weight of your cases, the flight times, the weather… you didn’t did you? Mummy and Daddy did all that for you, in fact you probably weren’t even aware that anyone needed to worry about things like that.
If we manage your project, be that a marketing campaign, website development or a conference or anything else that has you running for the darkened room it will be like a childhood holiday. Go on, start looking for your bucket and spade.
