Our brief for a new brand included creating a new logo, website and stationary.  OAK Creative not only came up with a fantastic, eye-catching, modern designs, but managed to meet our, frankly, ridiculously tight timeframes!

As well as Caroline, we have a number of contacts at OAK and every member of the team is knowledgeable, helpful and proactive.  We are thrilled with our new brand and as a small business, OAK Creative continue to be a crucial partner for our branding requirements and online presence.

Orbital Marketing Services Group Ltd

Orbital Marketing Services Group recently acquired the Readicut home crafts mail order business and brand. We quickly came to the conclusion that the existing logos were tired and in need of refreshing as part of an overall revitalisation of the Readicut business.

We briefed Oak Creative to develop a new company logo and replacement logos for the three activity based sub-brands, each of which has its own seasonal catalogue. The graphics needed to be a cohesive set (working in both colour and mono), reflecting the traditional craft personality of Readicut whilst bringing the look and feel up to date. Also to properly portray the activity of each product group to improve its relevance to and engagement with its specific audience – with the ability to add further product sets in the future ….. and by the way we needed the logos pronto as we had two new catalogues being compiled!

We were delighted with the options developed – particularly the evolution of the iconic ‘r’ shape which brings all the logos together as a group and allows for brand extensions. The graphics ultimately chosen for use within the ‘r’ for each of the product logos are individual, stylish – as Readicut should be – and representative of the respective craft, whilst clearly belonging to the ’new’ Readicut family. The use of a ‘William Morris’ style graphic in the overall company logo works on so many levels.

Great feedback on the new look from everyone here – and all delivered in one month! A big thank you to Rick and the Oak team.

“Everything was inviting. Great rebrand since I was last around, good signage which were well designed – as I’m sure you’ve been told by the arty people that did your rebrand, a consistent image grows trust, and I felt like I was in the hands of a bigger company than I suspect you are”

PR, Translation and Copywriting

Copywriting, PR and Translation

Posted on by Barry Holloway

We’re delighted to be able to add some new ingredients to the Oak Creative mix – we can now offer PR, copywriting and translation (English/French/German).

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Public relations is about managing your relationships with your audiences – your customers, your staff, your shareholders, the media; and the better you manage those relationships, the better the end result.  Independent PR consultant Cressy Brooks is now working with Oak Creative to offer a tailor-made PR service to our clients – it could be as simple as getting some local press exposure for your latest initiative, or a targeted campaign across all your audiences lasting a year or more.  Cressy has over 30 years experience in the PR industry across a vast range of client sectors and worked in large and small consultancies prior to setting up her own business 12 years ago.

For a chat about how PR can help you build your business please contact Caroline at Oak Creative on 01303 812848, or call Cressy direct on 01303 872533.

COPYWRITING

So far, we’ve specialised in making your communications look great.  Now we can help with the content too – we can write your text for you, from a simple A5 leaflet to a corporate brochure, we have the skills available.

For more information, please contact Caroline at Oak Creative on 01303 812848, or Cressy Brooks on 01303 872533.

TRANSLATION

If you’re looking to expand into Europe – or into the UK from Europe – we can help you.  Forget google translate, babelfish or ‘franglais’ – translating is an art, and if you want to come across properly in another language you need to get it right.  Our team consists of native English, French and German speakers who are all also experienced writers and marketers, meaning they can take your text from the original language and make it sing in a new one.

To discuss our services, please contact Caroline at Oak Creative on 01303 812848, or Cressy Brooks on 01303 872533.

I just wanted to tell you how brilliant the new AP email designs look. They are fantastic! Leanne’s going to get them built today so we can start running split tests immediately and we’ll let you see the results if you’re interested?

Thanks for your work on this.

Thank you so much for all you have done for us, we are so pleased with how the invites and Order of service looked. Everyone commented and said they had never seen anything like it before. The response has been mega.

The Manor House loved the picture too, we had it mounted and framed and it was a big hit, they weren’t charging us for the use of their gardens, so it was a really personal thank you gift.

The vicar wants to use the church illustration and has kept an invite and order of service as he said its the best he’s seen.

Ewen, we cannot thank you enough, you have been brilliant and very patient when I have been painfully asking to make to changes.
