We have flipped the traditional marketing model and while not all of our projects start with a film or video, our process is the same. We tell great stories that people want to see, read, hear or experience. From branding to set and print design, we offer a comprehensive package of creative services to serve our clients across every of medium of storytelling.
Developing a strong visual identity for a brand is so important and brand guidelines are our love language. From logo design to custom match boxes, we think beyond the traditional elements and look to develop new tools to help you share your brand or message. Logo variations, icons, color palettes, font families, tone & voice, messaging decks, sound signatures, photo filters, etc. If it can be branded...we love doing it!
Our goal and desire is to design film sets that will provide believable, authentic, on-location environments with the ease, flexibility and efficiencies of a studio environment. As a production company, we think of every opportunity to enhance the frame (what's on screen) and know what extra touches will have the most impact on screen and how to choose options that will yield the most unique filming opportunities. We also have some pretty amazing partners that can built pretty much whatever we can dream up.
We believe paper is making a comeback! Digital will always be a mainstay for communication and information, but a nicely crafted brochure, booklet or card can connect better to audiences because they can feel it! They can feel the thickness of heavy card stock, run their fingers over the suede-like soft touch and see the exaggerated shine of spot UV. These are connection points that can't be made online, plus, not too many people are using paper so it's the perfect time to bring it back! From procurement to press checks, we have the experience and the partners to find the best print solution for your budget, quantity and specialty finish.
We get really excited about environmental design because it sets the tone for the event by being the first thing seen and last thing remembered. It gives us the opportunity to work with structure, shapes, depth, translucency, utility, graphics and all elements of lighting, scale and layers to bring environments to life. This creative stylization produces attractive, and function presentation space that connects to the brand, theme, product or service and brings them face-to-face with the audience.
Our team has had decades of experience producing live events. We are unique in that we can not only provide content and design for your event, but also are available to create stage designs, develop a run of show and/or coordinate production gear and crew. This comprehensive approach provides a common thread throughout your workflow—allowing you to have one touch point for your entire event.
We love not only seeing how video can shape a brand, but how a comprehensive approach to Using the same creative approach that we do with our videos in the other areas that touch and shape the brand. We believe that if there is intentionality behind what comes before and what comes after the video, brands can make the most lasting impact possible. We have worked with a range of companies such as Delta Air Lines, Catalyst Conference, LeaderCast, and Zaxby's.
Retro 8 was brought in to develop a a top-to-bottom event experience that was designed to be exciting, fun, and memorable for Delta employees. One of our primary goals was to inspire them to continue in Delta's rich history of customer service, but also find new ways to reach an ever-changing customer base.
