Branding

A brand is a voice, a tone, a mark, a way of behaving, an attitude, a message. Our design and marketing experts understand this, and will work with you to create brand collateral which effectively communicates and resonates with your target audience, both in print and online.

Corporate Identity

Because we understand brands, we can create you an identity which completely embodies your business. We can also take your existing graphics and develop them to match a changing brand.

Corporate Guidelines

As a final element to a rebrand for your company we can create a Brand Guideline for you. This will allow anyone in your organization or your suppliers to follow the brand guidelines in order to create a unified branding message.

Advertising

We’ll get you noticed by the right people. In an ever more cluttered communications and marketing environment it is still the simple, clear message, delivered with a clear strategy by a stand-out concept, that will get you the results you want.

Illustration

Illustration can represent what photography cannot, and we can provide sleek, fun or high-impact digital and traditional illustration for your product or service.

Packaging

We understand that retail is perhaps the most challenging marketplace. With saturated markets and time-poor consumers, products and packaging have to work harder than ever to capture attention and inspire the end user.

Brochures

Our brochures give your customers something they can touch, feel, take away and cherish. They inspire, capture the imagination, inform, engage, and ultimately sell your product or services. By carefully combining bespoke materials and exquisite design we seamlessly convey your ethos and impress your clients.

Graphic Design

Despite the digital revolution, print will still work very hard for you if considered properly in any marketing strategy. Whether it be a one-off flyer, a bespoke invitation, direct mail or letterheads and business cards, print design gives you the opportunity to target specific audiences and get attention.

Exhibitions

If you work in events and exhibitions you’ll know that an effective display needs to be much more than a couple of large format posters. We understand that the whole environment needs to be considered, and any graphics must help communicate the overall aim of your exhibition.

Photography

With photography, you have the freedom to manipulate a subject or image by using the lighting, surroundings, and angles to get a perfect shot. You can’t rely on stock photography to capture the intricate, unique details of a product, the individual character of a subject, or the once in a lifetime event. We have the equipment and expertise to accurately position and execute product photography, while maintaining the integrity of the items. We also have the creativity required to deliver a unique perspective and make ordinary objects and events look exceptional. Zumablue has a photography studio in-house and cutting edge equipment to create extraordinary photographs.

HTML Emails

Databases/CMS

We offer two solutions – completely branded CMS systems or off-the-shelf CMS systems for our clients, ensuring that you get exactly the control you need at the price you want. Selling online allows your shop to be open 24 hours a day to an international audience. From a couple of products to thousands – we can build you an optimized online shop to sell your wares. Our development team will also ensure your transactions are completely safe and secure.

WordPress Design and Themes

Most sites do not need the complexity and overkill of features that you get with some off-the-shelf CMS. WordPress is a state-of-the-art online publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards and usability. WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your CMS software, not fight it. Our own site runs on WordPress and, as you can see, what you can do with it is very flexible – in terms of both design and functionality. WordPress, right out of the box, is extremely efficient for search engine optimization.

iPages

iPages is an interactive online turning page solution that allows you to transform your printed paper publications and fill the gap between your website and their printed counterparts.

SEO

A website is nothing if no-one can find it. Our dedicated Search Engine Optimization (SEO) specialist will drive traffic to your site, keep you high on search engine pages, and ensure you are found before the competition.

Marketing

We can provide a wide range of traditional offline marketing services. Whether you require guidance and consultancy on developing your own marketing plans, or someone to manage the planning and delivery of all marketing activity, we have the skills, experience and qualifications to ensure your marketing activities are targeted, creative and help you fulfill your business objectives. We can work with company directors or alongside existing marketing staff to enable the achievement of your marketing and business objectives, adding valuable industry knowledge, fresh insight and experience.

Public Relations

An organization’s reputation, profitability and continued growth can depend greatly on the degree to which its targeted public supports and is aware of its goals and policies.
