CREATING
YOUR IDEAL
CHRISTMAS
If you work in retail, entertainment, hospitality or leisure,
Christmas might not seem like the most wonderful time of the year.
As a Marketing manager, you’ll be faced with a myriad of deadlines and decisions to make.
During the heat of the summer when festive planning kicks off, Christmas can seem
a million miles away. But before you know it, the deadlines are upon you.
We know the festive period brings busy workloads and pressures for our clients.
So, when it comes to creative services, we aim to minimise your workload and ensure the
Christmas period runs like clockwork.
choosing QD Creative
By choosing QD Creative as a partner for your next Christmas campaign,
we’ll free you up to focus on other deadlines. From the initial concept to the finished product,
we’ll help you manage your entire Christmas campaign.
Reliability is at the heart of what we do. By giving us your whole project, you can rest assured it will be completed on time and to brief.
We'll manage the whole design process by:
1. Offering a one-stop design service
Some creative projects require photography. Others need retouching whilst some may
require print & production. At QD Creative, we offer all of these services in-house.
You won’t need to source another supplier to get the job done.
Christmas in the Restaurant & Hospitality Industry
Christmas is a busy and important time of the year for the restaurant and hospitality sector. Over the years, we’ve worked with the likes of Burger King, Maison Blanc, Smiths of Smithfield and Paramount Restaurants to produce creatives and associated collateral to enhance their Christmas campaign and keep customers coming in. Some of these projects required services outside of the initial design scope, including photography, which we were able to facilitate in house.
2. Collating collateral & liaising with third parties
Will your project require creative elements from external sources? Are you working in collaboration with another
company on your Christmas campaign and don’t have enough time to liaise with them?
Perhaps your creative is for an advert or magazine?
If you project relies on external sources or requires liaising with other agencies or publishing channels,
we’ll collate the collateral and liaise with these companies on your behalf. We’ll manage all your digital and offline press requirements.
A Retailers Christmas
Over the years, we’ve handled large Christmas projects for national retailer, HMV. Last year we handled the creation and design, layout, print and production, and logistics of their Christmas gift guides. The project included a complete end-to-end service, as well as liaising with all third-party music and film labels for content and approvals. We also liaised directly with The Mail on Sunday on the client’s behalf, where some of the gift guides were to be published.
3. Offering great, fresh, inspirational ideas at Christmas
At QD Creative, we’re experienced across all creative areas.
From branding to animation, display to web and online to packaging. We have the expertise to ensure your
Christmas campaign looks consistent across all your advertising channels, whatever your sector.
Christmas packaging
for the Leisure
& Music Industry
We’ll help bring your product or service to life with creative concepts and design.
We’ve worked with leisure operator, Cineworld, on a series of display and point of sale materials, as well as design for Christmas gift cards; ensuring consistency across the board.
We also work with music giant, Now That’s What I Call Music, to ensure their
Christmas albums and point of sale materials make an impact while remaining
consistent with their branding.
4. Managing the whole design process
From the initial concept to ensuring the work is delivered or installed correctly,
we’ll make sure the whole design process runs smoothly.
A Retailer’s
Christmas dream
We’ve produced Christmas concepts, display and point of sale material, both online and offline, for leading retailers including Office Outlet. From the initial brief, we handled the whole Christmas creative campaign for Office Outlet, even visiting the store to ensure the displays had been installed correctly.
