Marketing & Ideation Sessions

From creative marketing campaigns to ideation Sessions, we have you covered. 

Print marketing today is not just about printing thousands of leaflets and throwing them in the post. It is about making every piece of print you produce, from exhibition graphics to your business cards, work for you and your brand. When used correctly, as part of a marketing campaign, print has a unique ability to form a tactile and emotive bond with your audience.

How your company looks to the outside world sets the tone for all your interactions – with partners, media and all other key stakeholders. Partnering with a professional design agency ensures your organisational image maximises your potential return from your target audiences.

Here at Cactus, we are in the business of providing branding, advertising, graphic design, print and online services to help your campaigns stand out in a crowded market. The word ‘creative’ can sometimes seem a little scary but a definition for creative is to simply do something in a way that differs from the norm.

What if you were to receive an envelope stamped and addressed on the reverse. Would you think it was a mistake? Would it matter, you have noticed it. A coloured envelope in amongst the white and brown. Which one are you going to open first?

Those are both very simple examples of how a little creativity can get your print marketing noticed without the need for large budgets and marketing teams.

Ideation Sessions

Everyone has a story to tell. How you present your story will have a direct impact to how it is received by your audience.

At Cactus, our creative team’s approach is to listen to and understand your story then use our skills, expertise and experience to create the very best cover to sell your story as we possibly can.

Stage 1: Ideation Sessions

The process starts with an ideation session. Our creative team meet you and your key stakeholders for the project on site to learn all there is to know about your aims and expectations whilst getting a feel for your organisation.

We learn about your past experiences – what works well for you and, of course, what does not. By recognising your previous results we are able develop an appreciation of your target audience and their preferences.

The aim of the session is to discover what creative ideas and options are available to you whilst our team extract the information needed to start to formulate a creative plan that really works for you.

Stage 2: Creative Proposal

Once we have collated all the information gathered at your ideation session we set about constructing a creative plan to match your requirements.

The creative proposal will set out a tailored route map for your project. Depending on the journey your project takes the route map will typically contain creative concepts to help visualise the end product, timelines to ensure everything is on time and responsibilities so that all stakeholders know what is required to ensure the project reaches a smooth conclusion.

Reviews from our clients.

“We have used Cactus Graphics (previously Buckland) for a number of years for various print and design work. Their service is always speedy, and they always bend over backwards to help when I have a question or a last-minute job. The reason I love working with Cactus Graphics is the customer care they offer and the print quality that I know I can rely on.”
