24.01.2022 EXPO STAND // This time last year we were working on a customised expo stand design for our client Freightquip for AusRail 2019. It's hard to believe that things have changed so much for the event industry in just twelve months, and we hope that things can open up again soon as it's such a pivotal element of many business' marketing plans. Here's some behind the scenes look at our process for designing Freightquip's stand. We started with some low fidelity sketc...hes, always the best way to get ideas out. With the stands being 3 dimensional we had to demonstrate how the stand and images would work together in the space, along with all their furniture and equipment.

22.01.2022 We miss meeting face-to-face with our clients Zoom is great and all that, but its just not the same. Agree or disagree? ... As sad as it is not to meet with our clients, we think its so important that we all try and stay connected so phone calls, Zoom (or Whereby), messenger, DMs or FaceTime it is. Whether its clients or even family and friends, lets make sure we continue to communicate with one another until we can *see* each other again. Its too important. Stay strong and stay in touch! #stayconnected #ideapro #clientmeetings #isolationcommunication #marketingmelbourne

21.01.2022 How often do you ask your clients for Google, Facebook or LinkedIn reviews? Sometimes, often, never? We do this regularly! Why? It creates social proof for our business. Wed be nave if we thought that our prospective clients didnt do some internet stalking before they made initial contact with us. So when they read reviews from our past clients, it helps put them at ease that theyre making the right choice by speaking with us and that other people have worked with us, and... had a great experience. Its reassurance from others that were a talented and great bunch! And its great for SEO and Google rankings. Reviews tell search engines that your biz is trustworthy and an authority. We encourage you to ask your clients, either via email, phone, PM, DM whatever you choose, for a review. You might even include a few prompts such as perhaps you can comment on the recent project we did together, or comment on my communication skills And then share that feedback in your future marketing. #customerreviews #customerfeedback #ideapro #businesstips

20.01.2022 A near fully booked restaurant for the first opening weeks! We were approached by father and son, Josh and Joe to create a brand identity for their new American BBQ style restaurant, Pavs Bar and Grill, which is NOW OPEN in Sunbury, Victoria. We delved deep into their brand values and explored how the duo wanted to share their love of uniting family and friends through low and slow cooking, offering a unique dining experience to their local community and surrounds. Throu...ghout the entire brand identity process, we were inspired by their passion and commitment in the creation of their brand. The result is a warm and welcoming ambience, which will inspire you to come back for more. The Wins! A brand identity welcome stamp synonymous with American style BBQ and culture Alignment of the brand aesthetic to a standard and dietary preference menu A cleverly crafted brand story ready to use across website, socials and PR activity A social media strategy and photographic mood board, including themed content pillars and post ideas to inspire future content creation (which they can DIY or outsource) Social media posts with branded menu generating organic reach in excess of 20,000 views and 6000+ engagements (and countless bookings). If youre in Melbourne, post-iso, we invite you to please support Pavs Bar & Grill by visiting & enjoying one of Joshs delicious signature BBQ dishes, paired back with a delicious wine, beer or cocktail. For now, you can order takeaway. #supportlocal #branding #marketing #food #bbq #melbourne

19.01.2022 Flashback to some trade advertising we produced for Fortis Adhesives & Coatings a while back. If you need some help with any print or online advertising campaigns, just reach out via PM to our experienced design team, ready to present your business, product or service in an effective, engaging way.

19.01.2022 Awww *blushing* We just loved working on the Pavs Bar and Grill branding identity over the past few months. Really digging deep into what our client envisioned. Its part of the design process we know is vital, where we listen more than we speak and where the gems are found that then translate into our design. Once dining restrictions are lifted in Melbourne and the restaurant can open, we look forward to releasing the work we did on this brand.

18.01.2022 Art should be appreciated in all forms Today marks the anniversary of the incredible reveal of Michelangelos Statue of David - 8th Sept 1504.

18.01.2022 This is Luke. When we arent working from home, he rides to work on his lil pushbike and likes to one up us on our lunches by bringing goodies like homemade gnocchi, and other delicious concoctions to make us all jealous. Growing up, Luke loved to make things. He liked to draw or take pics whenever he could, and so he was a natural fit for graphic design. We jumped at the chance to get him on board when the opportunity presented itself. ... Today he is our go to guy for a good snap and someone who likes to be challenged by thinking inside the box. Yes, you read that right! Luke loves to receive a good design brief and go big when it comes to doing what he can within the limitations of a project. He loves to go as far as he possibly can and has created some amazing concepts that continue to blow our clients away. A vital part of our team at any time, but in these times we are especially thankful for his efforts to jump into new territory with us and go outside his role, without hesitation. Thank you, Luke for everything you do. At times like these you really appreciate those who are there with you every step of the way. PS - we are loving the new ISO Mo, great pic (as usual)! #graphicdesigner #graphicdesignstudio #ideapro #marketing

13.01.2022 Hows your email marketing going? Going strong, so/so, or...non-existent? No judgement here at all, weve only just restarted ours again recently. (And were so glad, as the results are clear!) But its undeniable that we need to emphasise the importance & power of email marketing. And we have a personal story to share of how impactful it can be. When our co-founders Rosie & Anthonys young son was suffering from eczema, for months they used a chemical based ointment to mana...ge the itching which didnt really help. They were desperate to find a natural alternative without luck (for those of you who might not know - Rosies just a bit of a natural product fan over on Everyday Awakenings). . Joli Natural Skincare offers beautiful chemical free skincare, and has been a long time design client of ideapro (flashback to one of our early branding projects). With such a wide range of products, Rosie and Anthony forgot that Joli stocked a soothing salve suitable for eczema symptoms. . Out of the blue an email showed up in Rosies inbox talking about Jodis story, the founder of Joli, and how she developed the soothing salve for her sons eczema when he was a baby. The rest is history. After trialling a small tub, it was hands down the best ointment to soothe their babys scratching. It worked. And thats all they wanted. Their son not to be suffering or uncomfortable. Suffice to say they ordered bulk tubs ongoing until the eczema healed (thats a whole other story). And now theyre fans for life, forever grateful and have since discovered it can be used for a whole range of skin uses. . . Morals of the story : 1. If you run a business, seriously consider sending out emails to your database. It may just make all the difference and that one email you send, might just create a loyal raving customer for life. 2. Go check out www.jolinatural.com.au for some fantastic natural products.

12.01.2022 Sunday musings... there really is beauty in simplicity. #oldbutnew #sundayquote #ideapro #designstudio #marketingmelbourne

11.01.2022 Providing value to clients? Yep thats non-negotiable for ideapro! A client recently came to us with a brief to rebrand. Their business is evolving, their brand needs a refresh in line with this new direction. Our design crew read through the brief and their conclusion? A strategy session is needed before they go anywhere near design. Our client needs help defining their objectives and target market, amongst other things. There were gaps in the design brief. Fundamental gap...s which couldnt be ignored. Wed be doing our client a huge disservice if we simply executed their brief in its current format. Thats not how our team works. And to be honest, it really shouldnt be how any business should operate. So were taking a few steps back with our client via a strategy session. Together, well work out the customer problem we are solving and how their business is going to solve that. Well do persona work, going deep into their target audiences. And well develop their brand story. From there, our creative team will have a clearer understanding about how to best visually communicate and the design work can begin on a new brand. And its this type of value we heap on our clients. Every time. Because ultimately, we care about clients and want them to smash their biz goals while being there to support them. #ideapro #marketingstrategy #branding #brandstrategy #clientsupport

11.01.2022 This is how we used to work together. Our Creative Director Anthony and Graphic Designer Luke would be working away, throwing some great ideas out on the table and collaborating over a coffee from our favourite local coffee shop. We miss you The East Pantry !

We are thankful to have each other, and to have you, keeping us going. We are currently working on strategies with many local businesses to help them stay relevant in the current climate, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone face to face again on the other side.

11.01.2022 Designing for and counting... Our Anthony began his design journey following his studies, at a large format print company before moving to a smaller print and design business, where he utilised his design & print production skills, working closer with clients then branching out on his own. Anthony looks for areas of connection between marketing & design & where possible uses brand strategy, a proven framework to build a brand beyond the logo and v...isual representation. At , Anthony enjoys the process of creating from all aspects, & watching an idea evolve into a finished product. In his spare time he loves mountain biking & fishing (sadly were put on hold recently). As a dad, its important that he spend as much time as possible with his kids, while juggling creative direction, brand strategy & design projects.

10.01.2022 Were always looking for ways to . Just recently we began exploring Design Strategy courses to help us bring more value to the design work and process we take. A few weeks after beginning our course we have already brought our new found knowledge in to to our clients work. When we design we are always thinking about the end context. Where is this going to be seen? How are people going to interact with it? Last but not least, we always think about is go...ing to see it. We dont often get to spend time fleshing out the who. Not anymore though! We now build out personas based on a clients audience. With these valuable strategic documents we can begin to start designing with the WHO in mind. If our designs dont resonate with these audiences then how will they be effective? It becomes a new standard to measure our work to. Helping us empathise with the end-user, putting our critical eyes on and making sure our designs connect with the personas. How have you used some newfound knowledge to bring more value to your work recently?

10.01.2022 Through challenge, comes change. In the weeks following COVID-19 hitting Australian shores, Fortis Adhesives & Coatings had started to see a downturn in sales. Simultaneously, they identified an opportunity to pivot their business into new territory. The opportunity to repurpose machinery normally used for manufacturing their regular products, & instead make hand sanitiser was identified. The project needed to move quickly to meet the urgent needs of frontline health worke...rs & hospitals. Our client required packaging labels designed in under one week to get this project off the ground - of course we were on board. We worked through conceptual designs and made suggestions on what would work best for the application, before confirming & submitting final designs. Fortis Adhesives, with over 40 years of experience in adhesives & coatings is now the exclusive supplier of hand sanitiser to three Melbourne hospitals and has since donated 4000 litres of sanitiser to various hospitals and frontline health workers. A big thank you to Fortis Adhesives for making such a big change in these times to help protect us all. A great example of just how businesses are adapting to the current climate, with some pivoting into new industries and new opportunities to stay current in this environment.

07.01.2022 So are you using stories? From 150 million users when Instagram introduced Stories in 2016, to 500 million people using stories every day, its evident that we should all be utilising this feature! All major social networks quickly jumped on board with this trend and implemented their own stories-like feature. Here on Facebook, YouTube and now LinkedIn. Stories were essentially created to capture real-time moments and be shared with your friends and followers for 24 ...hours. Now they are being used for much more! Implement different features available on Facebook and Instagram on your story to communicate with your followers, such as relevant stickers to current situations (Im sure youve seen the Stay Home one) to quizzes, q&as, polls and more. Use your 24 hours to share something from your business, whether its a new post youd like to gain attraction too, or even some behind the scenes moments of your team. Stories are a great feature to social media platforms and to engage with your audience inviting them to DM you and start the conversation. Whats your favourite way to use them?

07.01.2022 Do you want to know why a copywriters job shouldnt end once the copy is finished? Read on When copy is laid out in design, theres a chance it will go askew.... The copy looks crowded on the page The copy doesnt fit on the page Copy has been split in a way which disturbs the flow Headings have been downgraded to body copy Copy has accidentally been left out Thats why its so important for copywriters and designers to work together. A copywriter needs to be given the opportunity to review their work once laid out, check that all the copy is on the page, and also to give feedback on how the copy is placed. For a copywriter to simply hand over a Word document and walk away without seeing the final result? Well, we think thats incomplete. In our crew copy, marketing and design work together. Always. Its a collaborative approach, and we believe thats one of the reasons our clients believe our work is worth coming back for. See more

05.01.2022 Recently weve seen so many heart-warming instances across our socials and in real life of people caring for one another. In this climate, our humanity really comes to the fore. This applies to our business marketing activity also. Weve heard and seen comments like: ... "Oh weve stopped marketing as our business is temporarily shut down." "I dont know if I should be marketing right now..." "I dont know what I should be saying." Enter *empathy*. defn / noun: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. We believe its a time for genuine connection & caring about your clients, prospects & the broader world. The relationships you build, the offer of a hand up wont be forgotten. Perhaps consider infusing empathetic and considerate language in your comms. Genuinely think about the concerns of others and give value. This will build brand. And brand is where your business future is at. We dont think we remember a time where much of the business world is in the same boat. We really are in this together. Yes, we should continue marketing, after all, marketing is about staying front of mind at all times. But we need to market in the right way. By caring. Remember that empathy will always win. Now and always. See more

04.01.2022 When history and passion become identity. With strong Italian origins, Il Porto pizzeria immerses guests in a sensory journey that flaunts all that is truly Italian. With a passion for food and Italian tradition, Alessio came to us requesting our help with branding and creating an identity that was instantly recognisable for the unique pizzeria.... To create branding that reflects everything Il Porto, we worked closely with the owners to establish the meaning behind the name, and what drives them to be such ambassadors for quality Italian food in Melbournes north-west. We discussed the historical references of the restaurant, and what they wanted it to represent today. Passionate about helping local businesses, we were extremely proud to work with Alessio again to create a full brand identity and new menus, after previously working with both him and his fathers authentic Italian bakery & cafe Impasto Forno Antico just a few doors down. We continue to support this proud Melbourne business by asking locals to support them through delivery or pick up orders, and now also dine-in as restrictions begin to ease.

Do we miss seeing our clients and team and feeling their energy in person? Yes! Do we miss going to our local cafe The East Pantry for a catch up with our chai hit? Absolutely. But rather than focusing on that too much, because, lets face it, we cant do much about it right now, we have found a new rhythm and our focus has shifted to business innovation, survival and relevancy. And that is our focus for our clients too. Were all in this together. Please reach out if we can support your business with: + new ideas (were called ideapro for a reason!) + how to pivot during these challenging times + what to talk about on your socials + creating content and graphics to continue communicating with your customers in particular via your socials and eDMs. If youre not already doing it, right now during ISO its the time to bring a face to your business as most of us are *craving* to connect with people and their story. And that includes you. See more

02.01.2022 Happy 7th Birthday to us ! Thanks for all the support and good times. We wouldnt be here without our team, clients past and present, partners, suppliers, friends and family. Forever grateful. And for the tough times (because #smallbusiness) were grateful too - for pushing us to our limits, forcing us to grow personally and as a team, and ensuring we strive to consistently produce the best work we can. ... Work that means something. Work that matters. Work that we hope makes a real impact for our clients. And now we celebrate :-) #ideapro Image thanks to Frankie Lopez

01.01.2022 Being ready to pivot in any direction is part of being a business owner, and during these unprecedented times we are all learning how to do just that. We have been working with businesses to ensure they stay relevant at this time by discussing innovative ideas during so many ISO chats. We have reached out to both past and current clients to help build strategies and put plans into place so that they are confident in moving forward with new ideas to keep on going in the ...current business climate. One of our clients (and someone we trust with our own very fussy stomachs come cake time) Valley Designer Cakes had decided to close during this time. Being big fans, we got together for a chat to discuss business and strategy, and came together on the idea of releasing an ISO cupcake range for parents that need to entertain the kids and enjoy some delicious cupcakes as a reward. And so within 24hrs of developing their very new product offering Valley Designer Cakes was back selling cake making supplies and delicious cupcakes in a new and inventive way. Bringing so much pleasure to kids, and a little something different for parents to occupy the kids with, the business is now pleasing families tastebuds once again. Who doesnt love a little sweet treat while supporting local small business?? If you are Melbourne based, head over to Valley Designer Cakes and check them out, they have our personal stamp of approval.
