Crowne Plaza Hotel Wedding Marketing Materials
In July 19, Circle produced a 36pp wedding brochure showcasing the hotel as a highly desirable wedding location, beautifully detailing its luxurious function rooms, delectable menu options and outstanding service. The brochure was created using a number of special print finishes to add a beautiful tactile nature to the brochure. These included a spot metallic silver ink on the cover and throughout the body pages. The cover was printed on a high gloss board with the addition of a Spot UV varnish applied to a bespoke wallpaper design which we created to visually link to the decor in the main dining area. The print finishes creates a beautiful shimmering effect when the light hits it.

Turco Engineering

Our client Turco Engineering Ltd has been established for almost 50 years, and during this time the company has built a reputation as being one of the leading manufacturers of Oil-fired and Biomass Boilers in Ireland. Turco design, manufacture and distribute all its own products from its state of the art 40,000 sq foot facility based in Cookstown.

In recent years the business has combined its engineering expertise to offer a wide range of sub contract services to other OEMs throughout Ireland and the rest of the UK. This includes, design, cutting, folding, welding, testing, assembly, surface finishing and delivery.

Circle were commissioned by Turco to rebrand the boiler manufacturing side of the business as well as create a suite of identities that can stand alone on their own merit. The process consisted of the main brand and a range of sub brands to designate the various strands to the business.

‘Circle were introduced to us through our sister company Turkington Livestock Systems. Circle had successfully rebranded them prior to their launch into the UK market. Our project remit was to create a new, refreshed identity for Turkington Engineering as the previous identity was dated and no longer fit for purpose due to the development of a range of new products and moving into new markets. In a consultation, Circle quickly understood what we were trying to achieve and from this developed a suite of brand identities and associated marketing materials for Turco that gave us the perfect building blocks to launch our new wood pellet boiler into both the local and national markets as well as position our oil-fired boiler brand as a leading product in the marketplace.’ Ryan Turkington, Managing Director

Big Occasions Gourmet Catering

For their launch, Big Occasions required a brand identity and brand positioning solution that would launch it into the high end outside catering market at the right level to gain instant market traction.

The outside catering service comprises of a range of bespoke fit out branded lorry trailers in various sizes that have been furnished with the latest kitchen equipment to cater for functions of all sizes. The largest lorry facilitates six chefs and can provide catering for a range of events from weddings, to sporting events and large corporate functions, compiling menus tailored to suit the guests requirements.

Circle’s design solution was to create a rich, upmarket brand identity using a stylised fleur de lis type icon with catchy strapline, the colours used were black and gold to exude richness and high quality and this was carried across onto a range of items, most importantly the lorry livery which is very striking.

ConveyorTek – Core Branding

Conveytek design, engineer, manufacture, install and maintain conveyor systems for a number of clients across UK and ROI for both light and heavy duty applications. They recently engineered a new conveyor range with specific features that will further strengthen their position as a leading supplier of innovative products in the sector. Their primary products consist of Suspended Conveyor Magnets and Overband Self Cleaning Conveyor Magnets supplied to a range of industry sectors.

To support this new product launch the company commissioned Circle to develop a product brand that reflects the innovative nature of the product whilst maintaining the message of technical and service excellence the company had previously established.

In addition, we created a brochure pack that held all technical and product information so it could be used in export markets such as Europe and the Middle East as well as refreshing the main ConveryorTek brand identity.

Moyway Motors

Brief
Moyway Motors are a specialist used car dealer based on the Dungannon Road in Co. Tyrone. The proprietor was undertaking a complete refurbishment of his sales showroom and wanted branding that matched the calibre of cars he sold as well as complement the beautiful new showroom which was being built.

His dilemma was that there was no consistency with his old branding and it had become dated looking.

Solution
Circle researched other high-end forecourt brands and and took inspiration from elements of vintage sports cars. Our research influenced the creation of an insignia that had timeless class and represented the quality of the cars sold. Moyway Motors new branding sets the tone from the minute you set foot on the forecourt.

Brief
Circle was commissioned to develop the branding and associated materials for the launch of the Be Active strategy across all leisure centres in the district. NMANDD required a brand identity theme for ‘Be Active’ campaign which is a five year campaign to be rolled out across all leisure facilities and amenities throughout the District.

Solution
We created a fluid dynamic identity, tone of voice, brand guidelines document and suite of branding tools that appealed to a broad spectrum of people. The roll out has been very effective and hit all the KPI's for the campaign.
