Draw attention to your brand with engaging, expressive and inspiring custom illustrations.

A softer and more approachable brand

It’s increasingly more difficult to be noticed among your competitors online and in print. Custom illustrations are a great way to make your company’s presence memorable, whether it’s a website, billboard, company brochure, leaflet campaign or on your socials. Using illustrations in your print marketing or online applications can be engaging, expressive and inspiring for audiences. Their light-hearted nature – addressing the audience at a visceral, emotional level – will more than likely entice your audience to keep them browsing your website or brochure by providing information, incite emotion, or even change someone’s perception about your company and brand.
Over the past few years, there has been an explosion in illustration usage, both digitally and in print and illustration does a fantastic job at softening a brand giving companies a much more approachable and friendly image. It’s an undeniable fact that images are more compelling than text alone, more visually pleasing and people process and remember visual content better than words alone. Illustrations can persuade, inform and influence your audience while enhancing your brand messaging and helping your business express emotion, more effectively than text alone.

Build authentic connection and increase engagement

The average attention span for humans these days is apparantly eight seconds – one less than the notoriously ill-focused goldfish! This means ideas need to be concise and easily communicated in all marketing, or potential customers will be lost. Illustrations have the distinctive capability of taking complex ideas and making them concise, fun, informative and clear for the target audience to easily understand.
Illustrations are great for storytelling, as you have complete control over the characters and how they move. You can also tailor the style and narrative to appeal and relate to a specific target audience. It will also provide a competitive edge, as you are creating a fun and customised brand that your audience can connect with.

More engaging than stock imagery

We’ve gotten so used to stock photography on websites that in many cases it just doesn’t speak to us as emotionally, as an individual illustration does. Stock images are overused and usually easy to spot, often limiting you to what you can say about your brand and may also be used by other businesses. By substituting custom illustrations in marketing, your brand will gain variety and garner additional attention.
Overall, illustration is infinitely scaleleable, compared with photography and allows you to control each detail of the design, to represent exactly what you need it to. You can also reflect your brand colours, target audience and values in these drawings.

Worthwhile investment

Illustration in marketing can run the gambit from business cards to leaflets to large scale print banners, online applications and so much more. A cohesive kit of all the illustrations can be used for all your marketing materials. Create synergy by using these illustrations to represent your brand across your website, newsletters, catalogues, billboard advertsing and the interior walls of your offices and such, thereby making the overall process a very worthwhile investment.
