Brandmarks

BrandmarksA Brandmark could be thought of not as just a logo, but as the umbrella under which a logo rests. It’s everything from shapes to colours, from fonts to imagery - it's all-encompassing.
Brandmarks are used by everyone from multinational conglomerates to independent contractors.
A well-designed brandmark can speak volumes about your company, and plays an incredibly powerful role in increasing brand recognition.

Advertising

Delivering Your Message

Media Planning / Buying

Media Planning / BuyingIf you require broadcast services, Picasso Fish will analyze your desired target demographic and the media options available, and, based on available research and your budget, develop and execute the optimal media plan.

Signage

SignageSignage is where your branding efforts and physical location meet. It needs to be a clear, concise representation of your brand identity, while still being noticeable, stylish, and reader-friendly. Professionally designed signage can greatly increase the amount of foot traffic visiting your location, as well as greatly increasing brand recognition.

Vehicle Wraps / Billboards

Vehicle Wraps / BillboardsAt Picasso Fish, we approach the design of vehicle wraps and billboards with two objectives in mind: To be seen, and to be something people want to see. We realize that there’s a lot of eye candy out there, so it’s important to be captivating and leave a good impression.

Radio

RadioEver since the introduction of the 8-track, radio has been thought of as one of the most overlooked mediums in the advertising industry. The fact of the matter is, most people are exposed to radio constantly; in their car during commutes, at work, while waiting for the pre-roll in local movie theatres, in line at shopping centers, and even streamed live to peoples’ desktops. At Picasso Fish, we make a point of using quality creative to develop noticeable, memorable radio scripts, and employ our wealth of experience to find the best times to air them.

Print

PrintFrom ads in trade publications to posters, to brochures, to leaflets—stuffed in newspapers, slid under windshield wipers, or even (historically) dropped from airplanes. Print advertising is a staple of the industry. Needless to say, we do it. And we do it well.

Audio-Visual Media

Audio-Visual MediaThere’s no substitution for video. Whether it’s a prime-time television ad, a YouTube instructional video, or an animated feature on your website explaining your business model, video has always been a medium that, by its very nature, blurs the line between advertising and entertainment. We help you make the best of this nature with entertaining, informative content.

Design

Creativity Through Technology

Graphic Design

Graphic DesignGraphic Design is about more than just logos. Graphic Design applies to any number of things, from posters and newspaper ads, to the design of free-standing objects such as trade show booths and display racks, to package design such as product labels and multi-compartment boxes.

Information Architecture

Information ArchitectureInformation Architecture is the child of Web Design and Strategy, and it involves a full assessment of your content, your goals, your prospective visitors, your visitors’ mindsets, your traffic sources, and so forth. Your information is then organized in a way that allows optimal access to your desired clientele, and a more effective conversion funnel leading to your goals.

Web Design

A well-designed billboard is a great short-term marketing solution, potentially reaching thousands, or even tens of thousands of people every single day. There is, however, an art to the billboard: Picasso Fish can design a billboard that’s eye-catching enough to pull a commuter’s attention, yet simple enough to convey your message in the two seconds of attention the average billboard gets.

Newspaper Ads

Newspaper AdsWhile some have turned to online news sources, many households - particularly the ‘pools-and-patios’ and ‘new empty nest’ urban demographics - still appreciate and enjoy the experience of the newspaper, keeping this medium a viable, profitable marketing outlet.

Trade Publications

Trade PublicationsMagazines and niche trade publications are an excellent way to target an audience by demographic. Many publications feature full-colour, glossy pages that make for truly breathtaking ads given the proper artistic direction - direction that can be provided by our skilled graphic designers.
