Consider these Lego blocks. Or a smorgasbord. You rarely have just one but mix them up to fit your vision … or your appetite.
Full custom publishing
In the electronic age, the printed media has found a new role as a product of exclusivity. Electronic is everyman’s media. Print is not. Furthermore, print can often find new recipients in a way that electronic can not. We can take care of everything, from developing a concept to printing the publications and making sure they reach their target audience.
Web
If you are not on the web you don’t exist. And if you don’t communicate on the web efficiently and without barriers for the user, you might as well not. We design aesthetically pleasing web sites with intuitive user interfaces, and with the help of our partners in South America we go about it in a cost efficient manner.
Design
Design is everything. Steve Jobs from Apple once said that the most important class he ever attended was one in calligraphy! It is the design of Apple’s products that is key to its success today. The same goes for communication design. It can completely make or break you. At Protopolis we design to please both the eye and the brain, and, of course, we make sure all designs are both manageable and fit pre-existing designs in your organisation.
Strategy & analysis
Most often, a strategy is something you already have. Goals your organisation want to achieve and an idea about how to get there. But communication should be an intrinsic part of any strategy since you are not going anywhere unless you communicate. This is why we work with you not only to establish the tactics, but also to make sure the communication brings you closer to achieving the overall goals for your organisation.
Words
Text is really just a code. A layer between the sender and recipient. The trick is to make this layer as transparent as possible. When humans beings read, they want to not see the words but to see the meaning clearly in their heads. There are many techniques for the writer to achieve this: Using analogies, metaphors and examples as well as writing in a language that stimulates and floats freely. We do it all and more. In Danish but also in English.
Imagery
The human brain thinks in relations and images, so both interest and level of understanding is highly stimulated by good use of imagery like photography, infographics and illustrations. We sometimes do them inhouse, but often we develop the concepts and then work with the very best freelancers to make also the imagery part of achieving the goals of the communication.
Mobile media
They are all over the place at the moment. Apps. They can be wonderful little additions to a person’s life, but they can also be additions that are not worth the cost of developing them – most apps are only used a couple of times and then forgotten. When working on an organisation’s communication, we always determine what media is best used to achieve the specific goals. If an app is the way, then we make it a slick and user friendly one.
