We’ve also just won a project to design a new visitor centre & associated marketing materials for Glendronach Distillery just outside Huntly in Aberdeenshire. The distillery has recently been bought over by Ben Riach who are looking to refresh the brand and distillery in 2009, something we’re really excited to be involved with.

“Stand put a lot of time and effort into their proposal and they had some valid and creative ideas. We’re really excited about the development of the Glendronach visitor centre and feel that Stand will help to create an inspiring and educational environment for our customers.”
Kerry White, Marketing Executive, Ben Riach Distillery Company Ltd

Our sixth pitch win of the month is for another Homecoming Scotland project entitled ‘Where Tomorrow Begins: Reflections of Scottish Innovation‘. We’ve been tasked with designing the brand identity, exhibition, marketing materials and website. 

The exhibition itself captures images of the innovation taking place in Scotland now which will change the world of tomorrow. In images by award-winning Sunday Herald photographer Kirsty Anderson and words from Scottish writers this exhibition will explore the breakthroughs taking place in Scottish universities.

It shall be first shown in the Scottish Parliament on the 1-12 June 2009. It’s hoped the exhibition will also be used internationally and in the first instance, around the cities of Scotland.  

We’ve won another pitch, this time for NHS Health Scotland.

The project is developing & designing a training pack called ‘ Happy to ask, Happy to tell ’. It’s an important piece of work aimed at equality & diversity training for frontline staff who work in a variety of settings. The pack will consist of a handbook, training manual, DVD and memory stick.

Stand have been chosen to work on Scottish Government design tenders over the next three years.
Needless to say we’re delighted to be one of the few given the amazing competition for selection.

More soon.

Just off the press is Johnstons Cashmere’s latest autumn/winter brochure. Promoting womens & menswear and shot in New York, the new brochure will be sent out to buyers to coincide with their showings of the new 09/10 cashmere range.

See the brochure here.

Following a pitch we’ve been chosen to design and develop a vibrant, engaging identity and related marketing materials for Whisky Month, part of Homecoming Scotland 2009. It’ll be implemented across a variety of marketing tools and online activity to promote Whisky Month in May 2009. The design must appeal to the target markets in the UK & Ireland, North America and the rest of the world, being flexible in its approach and fitting within the overall Homecoming Scotland objectives.  

‘ We are delighted to appoint Stand for the design of the Whisky Month campaign. Overall we thought their pitch had been well thought out and had considered the integration of the campaign with the existing Homecoming Scotland brand. ’
