APA Effectiveness Awards 2008

Press Release - 28 November 2008

The Studio was charged with taking on the entirety of the creative branding for the APA Effectiveness Awards 2008. The event really was to be something out of the ordinary and the The Studios task was to include print solutions as well as designing the AV awards presentation.

‘The Effective Editorialisation of the Brand’ was to be the key message throughout the body of design work for the awards, and it was the concept of keying into the ‘Brand’ that initially led the creative team. ‘We re-examined the media that was to be used at the event, stepped back, and re-approached each item as an individual branding excercise, as a consumer would understand it’ explained Jonathan Haste, Senior Designer at The Studio. The development led to the use of special printing effects on a great deal of the collateral, as well as the introduction of an ‘APA Effectiveness’ tag, which was attached to each printed piece. This ingenious item added the brand significance to the campaign that the creative team was looking for.

“This year we wanted our message to really hit home, and thanks to The Studio the creative surpassed our expectations with a strong, clear message that really worked.” Julia Hutchison, Director
