Our Work

Background:

Katharine House Hospice (KH) is a Stafford based charity that provides a range of services offering help, care and support for people with advanced life-limiting conditions.

As part of their overall fund-raising activity, KH use direct mail to contact their supporters for specific campaigns such as “light up a life” and “care for a cuppa”.

KH approached Pink Print because they were experiencing issues managing these campaigns.

The Challenges:

There were three main challenges for KH, the first was finding the right partner for each element of the direct mail campaign. They needed the right graphic design partner, the right print partner and the right mailing partner.

The second challenge was around managing these different suppliers and making sure that they worked together to deliver each campaign on time.

And the third challenge was getting the job done at the best possible price. After all, every pound saved is a pound that KH can use to help and care for someone in need!

The Solution:

The solution offered by Pink Print was to manage the whole campaign process for KH from the initial design, through the printing of the literature to the mailing out.

This allowed KH to have just one point of contact for the whole project which saved them time and stress.

Our inhouse graphic design team worked closely with the team at KH to create the artwork. This included the marketing piece, the letter and the envelope which was then printed, collated and mailed out to the KH supporters.

And more importantly because Pink Print managed the whole process, we were able to save KH money on the project.

Background:

In June 2018 the British American Business Council (BABC) transatlantic conference came to Birmingham. Pink Print were asked to help with the design, print & supply of the Media Board requirements by the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) who were organising the event.

The Challenge:

There were a number of challenges with the main one being that the conference was taking place at 3 different venues across the city and the budget wouldn’t cover the production of 3 media boards.

The second challenge was that the media board needed to be 3 metres wide by 2.3 meters tall meaning that transporting it one from one venue to another would be difficult.

The third challenge was that the GBCC hadn’t got the resource for taking down and putting up the media board at the 3 venues.

The Solution:

Pink Print printed the media board on lightweight material which fitted over a frame to give the 3 metre by 2.3 metre media board.

The frame was made from lightweight aluminium which could easily be taken apart, transported and put back together at each venue.

Pink Print provided the resource to take down and put up the board at each of the venues so that it was ready to great the VIP guests from both sides of the Atlantic as required.
