Girl Guiding

Girlguiding UK is the United Kingdom’s largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women. Although there were brand guidelines to work to, First Impression never failed to come up with fresh, appropriate designs for leaflets, flyers and booklets to celebrate their centenary year.

Promethean

Promethean is a global leader in interactive education technology solutions. First Impression has worked with them for many years as an extension of their own marketing and PR teams. Having to work within existing brand guidelines and strict attention to detail is a major requirement.

Originally commissioned to project-manage the rewriting of their corporate website, we have continued to work with them, writing case studies and designing brochures and leaflets.

Brother UK

Brother is a worldwide electronics and manufacturing company, with sales in over 100 countries. Brother UK provides sales, marketing, technical support, warehousing and distribution, and a customer call center its UK customers.

Brother UK originally approached First Impression looking for an experienced copywriter in the ICT market. Over the next few years, First Impression produced a series of sector-specific booklets, product sheets, newsletters and case studies.

Leisure Technical Consultants Ltd

Leisure Technical Consultants Ltd provides a comprehensive service to the Leisure Industry. First Impression has worked with them for a few years now having redesigned their leaflets and stationery.

When they were attending a major exhibition overseas, they approached First Impression to design and print pull ups and a full exhibition stand to communicate the preeminence they have in the industry.

St Thomas More Catholic School

St Thomas More is a successful 11 to 16 comprehensive school in the beautiful market town of Buxton. The new head teacher wanted a prospectus that communicated the quality of teaching and ethos of the school. First Impression was invited to offer designs for this important marketing tool for the school.

First Impression utilised the strong colours in the school emblem and used imagery to great effect. The prospectus was printed on a high quality stock with matt laminated cover and spot uv varnish finishing.

Heatherlea

The Heatherlea School of Dance offers classes in Ballet, Tap and Modern Jazz dance to boys and girls of all ages. A well-established business, Heatherlea needed a programme designed and printed for one of their shows and First Impression was happy to oblige. Pleased with the result, Healtherlea talked to First Impression about some leaflets for a series of new classes.

Our design gave Heatherlea a funky new look to attract the younger generation who may be interested in their dance classes. Heatherlea has since had other leaflets, programmes and their logo redesigned by First Impression.

Springfield Nurseries

Springfield Nurseries is an independently owned group of children’s nurseries that offers a comprehensive childcare facility for children aged 6 weeks to 11 years. Having grown from a single nursery to four sites in Charlesworth, Hadfield, Buxton and Thornsett, they needed some leaflets to promote the newer sites.

At the same time as designing the leaflets, First Impression refreshed the logo so that there was a consistent brand for all the four nurseries. Springfield received a good reaction from the leaflets and asked First Impression to redesign all their stationery, to design and print their brochure and a new website for the group of nurseries.

Scaffolding Group Ltd

With bases in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, Scaffolding Group Ltd supplies scaffolding services nation-wide throughout the United Kingdom. The company were looking to improve their overall marketing and image as they felt this was important when working with bigger organisations.

First Impression worked with them to design a new logo which we used across all of their marketing literature, including stationery, folders, inserts and brochure and a brand new corporate website.
