"The Step-by-Step Customer Focused Print Ad Design"

Generally, the analysis phase will start at your place of business and will take between 20-30 minutes. Later, we can perform some of the process over the phone and through e-mail. We will analyze your current marketing materials and make suggestions on a design approach. Also, with your help, we will gather pertinent information and examples relating to your business through the use of a written Creative Review.

After analysis and brainstorming by our creative team and input from you and the Creative Review, we will develop a written Creative Brief outlining the goals and intentions of your ad. The Creative Brief will also set out milestones for approvals of copy, artwork and layout. Additionally, the Brief will layout the timetable needed to produce your materials. Once you are satisfied that the Creative Brief meets your needs, we will begin the design phase.

We will contact your printer or advertising representative for all print and publication requirements. (If you need a printer, we have a network of printers that we work with or you can choose your own.) Using the Creative Brief, we will create up to three preliminary designs that meet the criteria laid out in the Brief. After you select one of them, we will continue to develop and refine the concepts and artwork into a comprehensive design with input from you at set milestones to approve copy, artwork, and layout. With all approvals in order, we will finalize the design, and submit it to you for approval.

With the approval of the final design, we will deliver all materials to you, your printer or advertising representative in a form that best suits the print or publication requirements. We will then schedule a follow-up meeting with you to recap the Creative Brief, benchmarking the effectiveness of the design to its intended goals.
