• Who we are...

We are a professional, multi-skilled, strategic brand marketing and communications company specialising in creative conceptualisation, design, and the  roll-out of high end, cost effective visual and digital communications. All are designed to solve business and marketing problems in a fresh, exciting and relevant way, using both traditional offline and contemporary online media vehicles and digi-space.

 

  • What we do...

As a small collective team of capable creative thinkers, innovation seekers and problem solvers, we supply cutting-edge, strategically coherent brand activation and experience, marketing and tactical plans and cost effective communications ranging from conceptual design of new corporate, product or service brands to executing fully fledged, integrated offline/online media campaigns.

 

  • Experienced base...  

Creative Solutions is known for the design and implementation of many iconic and authentic brand building and break-thru sales campaigns and we have worked across a number of different product, service or industry groups.

We have helped both local and international clients, to strategically position themselves, attract new business, launch new products, develop bigger market segments and transform their brands into corporate icons.

 

  • What we do makes us different...

We believe that our approach and thought processes result in meaningful brand differentiation.

Based on our years of collective, practical, hands-on experience, we deliver communication that is fresh, exciting and relevant. It is efficient, effective and generates meaningful business value.

Even though we have a particular philosophy on why and what we charge, we remain highly competitive relative to the services we provide and the added value delivered.
           
Clients are the reason for our being and force us to think out of the box, creating communications that ultimately sell and don’t cost an arm and a leg to produce. The biggest challenge we face, is helping clients understand what they do, is not necessarily the same thing as what they sell – and that real differentiation comes through redefining the perceived value of what they sell.

 

  • How we do it...

Branding is “what you do the mind, not the product”, and therefore we seek to understand the human truth that lies behind every marketing problem, in order to bring about the desired change, in our clients’ target markets.

We’d prefer to look at your need and develop the advertising solution that is relevant and gets your message out to the right people, for the right price.  It’s this kind of thinking that makes us effective, means you get a return on your investment – and your brand enjoys real differentiation.
           
We’re all about solving marketing problems in fresh and exciting ways that make sense, using both offline and online media vehicles. And we do it through intelligent lateral-thinking strategy, conceptual keenness and good creative. Really, it’s about understanding basic human truths and business opportunities – and combining them to make moments of magic for your customers (and your stakeholders). Most importantly – it’s also about just loving what we do!

More and more clients are looking for holistic “solutions” to their business/marketing problems that are not always answered by traditional media. This represents new opportunities as companies are looking for different ways to engage with consumers.

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all campaign and try to shoehorn you into it.

It is key to first understand your business needs thoroughly – why you need to run campaigns, and what you need to get out of them. Based on this, we craft campaigns around this – not the other way round.

Then closely manage it for you, fine tuning for optimal results and implementing lessons learnt.
           
The brand value and client value derived flows as a result of the partnership we form with you rather than an ad hoc vendor relationship. Synergy results from the collaborate effort.

We are proud of where we have come from and are excited about where we are going. Come journey with us.
