Vertex is a global Business Process Outsourcer (BPO), providing Customer Management and IT Outsourcing services to over 200 clients worldwide across many sectors. Vertex clients in the UK include bmibaby and The National Trust.

Vertex were interested in our email marketing design, broadcast and reporting services which allow design templates created from initial HTML emails, to be integrated into their CMS system. Future email marketing campaigns can then be authored by clients themselves, giving them full control over the content.

Pixel8 has recently broadcast two initial email marketing campaigns for Vertex.

The first campaign was for the Vertex V-Zine – an email sent to their Utilities client base in the USA and Canada. Designed with graphics to match Vertex corporate branding, the email displayed several snippets of news articles related to Vertex and the North American utilities sector; with links to the full news articles hosted on the Vertex website.

The second email campaign was a simple newsletter broadcasted to their UK client base, updating them with new, additional benefits of outsourcing.  The aim of the email newsletter is to have a Vertex branded email which focuses on a specific news article, which can be sent out in-between the more comprehensive Vertex V-Zine.

Both of these email marketing campaigns were delivered using Pixel8’s email broadcasting system, which has design and spam testing features as well as a detailed analytics reporting system. This allows Vertex to analyse how many people have received the email, which links were clicked on, how many times and specifically who clicked on which links.

The Pixel8 graphic design agency in Manchester has designed and printed large format vinyl graphics and graphic designs on canvas for Manchester Sport and Leisure Trust.

The Trust, which manages 19 sports facilities in Manchester, went through a massive gym refurbishment at two of its locations, Sportcity and Belle Vue leisure centre.

As the incumbent design agency for Manchester Sport and Leisure Trust, Pixel8 we were on hand to enhance the Trust’s brand awareness at both venues; and also to help with installing the large format graphics.

Pixel8 were asked to use the “swoosh” element from the brands logo design to create a full colour, large format printed vinyl graphic design, to be placed  on one wall, and a single colour vinyl graphic design on the facing wall at the Belle Vue venue. The full colour printed vinyl graphic design measured over 26ft wide, whilst the single colour graphic design measured over 40ft wide. Both of these graphics stand 11ft high.

Large format printed vinyl graphic designs were also installed at Sportcity. The first in the main gym area measured 30ft long and over 6ft high above a large mirror. The second was applied to the upstairs gym area, it measured over 17ft wide by 13ft high.

As a finishing touch, Pixel8’s design team created full colour artwork for a series of ‘inspirational’ graphic designs on canvas featuring images of people working out in the gym.

All of the full colour designs were printed in-house using Pixel8’s large format colour printers.

Pixel8 will be providing additional large format graphic designs for the Trusts’ remaining 17 gyms in Manchester as each one is refurbished.

The Pixel8 graphic design and exhibition design teams have completed the design of a 16ft x 3ft football pitch advertising sign for our latest client BDi.

The design had to be effective and eye-catching at the same time. We used a striking image of an owl, which suggests security without actually using an obvious security device, e.g a padlock, a theme BDi specifically wanted us to focus on. Then we simply listed the services that BDi offers.

The two football stadium advertising signs were printed full colour onto a 5mm aluminum composite panel and installed at Chester City Football Club.

Always wanting to give our clients a service above and beyond the brief, we also approached them with a new corporate identity and brand development which would form the basis of the new look and feel for the new website.

The new logo design was welcomed warmly by Gap Consulting and as a result Pixel8’s design team also carried out their stationery design and produced design templates for them to produce newsletters using their new logo design and corporate branding.
