Hello there

Creative Triangle are delighted to have recently been awarded a contract to work on project brand development plus supporting marketing collateral and website design for the University of Birmingham’s Advanced Materials Characterisation Simulation Hub – a part ERDF funded project to encourage and support local SMEs to explore industry related research and new product development. The first stage of this project has just been rolled out with further development and refinement to come.

VAT Refund by Appointment is a joint venture between Travelex and Heathrow which will make it easier for passengers to reclaim VAT on their shopping. Last month luxury retailers were invited to a private launch to hear about the VAT Refund by Appointment service. Our exclusive design for the B2B email invite, brochure and short presentation film has already successfully enticed retailers to pre-book appointments for their customers.

Creative Triangle have recently started working with ‘Ambitious Futures: The Graduate Programme for University Leadership’ – a scheme with the aim of selecting and preparing high calibre graduates for future leadership roles within universities, involving 18 HE institutions, including our clients Birmingham City University and University of Nottingham.

Programme Manager, Emma Kneale said:

‘From the initial point of contact to the delivery of our new suite of marketing collateral, Beth and the team at Creative Triangle have been superb. We were looking to refresh our brand and they were able to implement their creative vision across all forms of media ahead of schedule and on budget. We would highly recommend them and we look forward to collaborating on a number of exciting upcoming projects.’

To mark the first anniversary of the collaboration between Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton and Heathrow’s premium airport service ‘Heathrow VIP’, Creative Triangle were asked to design and produce a suite of luxury celebration cards, recipe cards and exclusive miniature cake boxes. The recipes – extracts from Atherton’s ‘Social Sweets’ book – were for his renowned eclairs, financiers and tea cakes.

The items, all in Heathrow VIP’s signature black stock and finished with silver foil blocking, needed to enhance Heathrow VIP’s philosophy of offering a unique and personalised experience by highlighting that it’s the ‘little touches’ that make it a memorable experience.

Creative Triangle are celebrating being in our ‘new’ studio for over 1 year this month!

Creative Triangle are thrilled to have successfully tendered to be on The University of Warwick’s Creative & Design framework. Having worked with Warwick for 4 years already we have formed great working relationships and have a deep understanding of the University’s unique vision and goals. We are excited to be able to continue working with Warwick and look forward to helping promote the University through clever and creative design.

BCU’s Fashion and Textile School required a suite of brochures to promote their world-class courses.

Inspired by fashion look books and magazines, CT developed a contemporary, edgy approach to the design while still adhering to the University’s corporate and sub-brand guidelines.

We created abstract page layouts by highlighting details of garments and deconstructing imagery – playing with block colour, texture and pattern. Cut up typography added interest and direction to the pages. Printed on uncoated stock to add to their tactile nature.

Raising awareness of Heathrow’s Employment and Skills Academy by designing a range of striking lorry graphics for their distribution trailers.

Working with Birmingham City University we developed a social media campaign to encourage their students to use their uni email. We developed humorous, bold copy lines paired with quirky imagery to grab the target audience’s attention and really sell the potential benefits of checking their emails so they don’t miss out.

We were delighted when Heathrow asked us to help deliver their ‘Take Onboard’ service, which launched the 1st week of January 2017.

The look and feel of the Take Onboard identifier needed to be on brand, eye catching and simple to promote the new service with the participating food retailers within the Terminals. The suite of collateral included Digital Animation for live screens and website, Strut Cards, Shelf Wobblers and Table Cards.

We have had a really good start to achieving our 10 things to celebrate our 10 years.

1. Charity – we took part in Movember and The Market Harborough Santa Fun
2. Support a local charity – we have donated free design services to Menphys
3. We have donated 100 Christmas shoeboxes with gifts for Samaritan’s Purse UK
6. The fly tipping is clear and locals are working together to keep it that way
7. Sponsoring the Narborough Foxes football team
9. A team afternoon tea

And yesterday, we delivered 10 boxes of food to the Dawn Centre

Our aim is to raise £10,000 for charity in the year, so if you would like support us, please use the link below:
