<p style="text-align: left;">&#8216;Engaging content that sells product&#8217; that is how we describe the work we produce at CIC. Be it packaging, literature, POS or rich media the best way to sell your wares is always by engaging with the consumer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Where possible the perfect solution is to offer interaction. 360 photography, room planners and games all work perfectly as rich media on a website but when it comes to product catalogues, this level of interaction is much more difficult to achieve. Until now that is.  Armed with nothing more than an iPad, your sales rep has all the tools required to reap the benefits of iBooks. Not only do they remove the need to carry heavy, printed material, they can host all of the interactive features you would associate with a website. Embed your product videos, image galleries, maps, hyperlinks, update regularly without the need for huge print costs, distribute with ease through your own website or email, the benefits of iBooks goes on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As you might have guessed we now offer ibooks. Available in either portrait or landscape orientations (perfect for presentations) you can rest assured that your current literature can easily be adapted to suit this new format.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Interested and on an iPad? <a href="http://www.ciconline.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/cic-ibook/clever-idea-corporation.ibooks">Download our own iBook here.</a> Showcasing some of our projects, both old and new, this mini portfolio offers just a glimpse of the many features an iBook has to offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Already convinced, give us a call to discuss what we can do for you.</p>

<h3>Cultivating sales through a full branding update…</h3>
<div class="divider_hr" style="padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px;">&nbsp;</div>
<p>Ambassador offer quality garden tools with a good, better and best proposition. From the economy wooden handle tools right through to the premium ash handle collection the whole range gives gardeners a better choice, and retailers confidence in their offering.</p>
<p>Our task was to package these ranges and support the launch of this fast growing brand. We quickly established that for most keen gardeners it was much more than a hobby, it was a way of life.</p>
<p>We set out to engage with and inspire our audience with the use of textures and imagery of real gardens. Our target audience would see right through a perfectly pruned rose garden, with super straight stripes running down the lawn. This approach was carried through to the packaging, POS, brand website and full range brochure.</p>
<p>Initial feedback has been great, with over 100 &#8216;stock and stand&#8217; deals sold over the opening few days of a recent trade show. Look out for Ambassador garden tools in your local garden centre.</p>

<h3>For any brand, staying seen is staying safe. None more so than this one…</h3>
<div class="divider_hr" style="padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px;">&nbsp;</div>
<p>Following the acquisition of the Glenwear brand, we were tasked by our client to bring this brand to life, in time for a national launch in January 2013. Glenwear create quality workwear, to the highest specification possible, at a price that competes with the biggest brands of the market.</p>
<p>Following a development of the logo, we moved onto packaging for the whole range of boots, jackets, trousers, rain-wear, high-vis and PPE (Personal protective equipment). The construction and trade industries are some of the most regulated for Health and Safety. Educating and assuring the customer that they are buying the right gear throughout the range brochure, brand website and in-store POS, was crucial to the success of the brand&#8217;s launch.</p>
<p>Look our for a guest modelling spot from our China Operations Director, Mark Doras.</p>

<p>No one wants an early start, we already get up too early as it is. That is unless the Olympic torch is passing your office.…</p>
<p>Thursday, roads through Stoke were closed from 05.00 – 08.00am, including all routes into CIC. What would we do? Get up ridiculously early hoping to view the famous flame or spend an extra hour in bed, venturing to work once the commotion has passed? For those of us that made the effort it was a long but memorable day. After all it wont be everyday ‘Blind Dave’ makes his way up Waterloo Road with his Cornetto of fire.</p>
<p>The Daves met up at 6.45am at the top of Festival Park whilst Darryl and Matt enjoyed a complimentary Coke and bacon butty from the Church. Although gutted not see the “legend” that is Imran Sherwani, or even Tony Pulis for that Matter, the torch bearer’s in view did a splendid job.</p>
<p>Twenty minutes waiting, 30 seconds cheering and a Morrisons breakfast later we made it into work for an early start.</p>
<p>Here are some of our snaps from the event.</p>
