This
stage is where we fuse strategy, words and pictures, and media to create
effective, powerful communications programs. Marketing communications
tools give structure and voice to the strategy, and can be traditional
and interactive, digital and analog, print and electronic. The most effective
communications programs are the ones that integrate all the above. In
every case, arresting visual design and compelling content are key.
Advertising
Using foundational strategies as a guide, we create visual and
verbal messages that communicate quality, personality, style and value
differences between you and your competitors. These are the tools that
businesses use to compete: Corporate identity, web interface design, environmental
signage, brochures, kit covers, collateral, business papers, datasheets,
trade show displays and mass media advertising.
Public Relations
The value of public relations is in distinct contrast to
paid advertising because of its inherent credibility, its ability to catch
buyers off-guard, and for how it can dramatize a product or a company.
Vanguard offers exceptional depth in public relations and media relations
experience and services applied to public issues, as well as marketing
public relations, which directly supports corporate and product promotion
initiatives.
