Park that problem

As the initial stages of a wider marketing campaign, ParkatmyHouse asked us to design a colourful and impactful flier targeting people living near transport hubs who have a driveway. The flier needed to raise awareness of the opportunity and cost benefits of renting out parking space through them.

The fliers were delivered last week and the results are being collated as we speak. The ParkatmyHouse team are monitoring website traffic and running analytics to measure the flier’s success. Once the results of this campaign are known, the flier will be adapted to ensure the most effective messaging is used on further mail drops in ...

A TTP Partnership

Working in partnership with its clients, TTP combines the strengths of science, engineering and business development to bring new products to market. Having successfully tackled the sales presentation to communicate the key messages that differentiate TTP from its competitors, TTP now wanted to do the same externally and to a much wider audience through print advertising.

There was already an existing set of ads but these lacked clarity and branding, so the challenge was to create a suite of ads that were fresh and current, drew on TTP’s expertise in exploiting new technologies ...

Let's get Physiological

We first got involved with the project in April when we were invited by the Society (on recommendation from EPSRC, with whom we have an ongoing relationship) to take part in a competitive pitch, which we subsequently won. The Physiological Society last undertook a rebrand in 2006, gaining a new logo and brand guidelines.

The existing printed materials loosely reflected these guidelines, but as a collection the leaflets and posters lacked consistency and a strong visual identity. As such, our role was not only to refresh the visual identity of the Society but to also ensure this ...

The death of print?



The demise of the printed version of Design Week earlier this year after 25 years was a real blow for the print industry as well as the design industry as a whole. Here at TTP we looked forward to receiving each copy, with its mix of news, comment and profiles. Many of us were to be found at lunchtime, actually reading, not just skimming through it. Given that we spend most of our time ...

The dogs...

Clip&Ping has been a fantastic project and we first got involved purely on a branding aspect, not expecting the project to snowball in quite the way it did. We had previously worked with the MD of Clip&Ping, Rob Steele, when he was consulting for Alpheus (see earlier blog on this).  Rob was looking for a London based consultancy and approached us, having seen our work and thought that we had our fingers on the pulse of the latest design trends and sound digital experience. We like to think so too!

And now for some culture

Maryann Maguire, Cultural and Political Advisor at InterCultures first got in touch with us back in March this year, asking us to brainstorm a number of logo options for the new company brand identity and website. We created several creative routes for her to mull over.

InterCultures was established to assist private sector companies in understanding and engaging with political institutions and local populations in post-conflict environments; especially to address the need to better map the cultural, political and development environments in emerging markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The company works for a small ...

Engineering a graphic solution for EPSRC

We have just finished work on a challenging data visualisation project for the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC) website. The brief was to communicate where EPSRC - the UK government agency for funding research and training in engineering and physical sciences – allocates funding to its many research disciplines.

So how to communicate this in an innovative, aesthetic and accessible way? Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Believe us, it wasn’t!

EPSRC divides its research portfolio into a ...
