Stuart McLeod Managing Director Zenith Holidays (Ex Managing Director Specialist Holiday Group - TUI UK) CASE STUDY I BROCHURE DESIGN & PRODUCTION We have designed and produced hundreds of holiday brochures for the TUI group. These range from 20 page niche market specialist brochures to mass market 400 page database-driven ones with print runs into the hundreds of thousands. DIRECT MARKETING Successful DM is key to encouraging repeat bookers to remain faithful to the brand. To this end the significant uplift our creatives generate means that we have designed and produced many many DM campaigns over the past few years for TUI. DIGITAL CAMPAIGNS Web design and hosting, campaigns, micro-sites, data mining, CMS and databased sites are all areas in which we have helped move TUI forward into one of the top travel companies in Europe. A long standing relationship with TUI, Europe s largest Tour Operator, has meant a wide variety of projects delivered to exacting standards, exceptionally tight time-frames and often very modest budgets! However we deliver time and time again which is perhaps why after 5 years of working together we are still helping them to go places...

7 HARLEQUIN/RUGBY... The Hive took our brief, ripped it apart, and then over-delivered on every front. John Jenkins Chairman Harlequin Amateurs Rugby Club CASE STUDY II The Hive were tasked by a local rugby club to increase player numbers and help promote the launch of a mini rugby section. We started by looking at the competition, the brand and the availability of potential players for recruitment. The outcome of our findings led to a completely integrated marketing campaign encompassing both digital and print solutions. BRAND IDENTITY WEB DESIGN/ DELIVERY Creating a vibrant brand that draws on the iconic status of its Big Brother to inspire future rugby players from around the county was backed-up by a programme of on and off-line marketing. We have created a one-stop communication site for the Harlequins club. All the club info, team, match, league news and discussion forums are available to everyone in a creative, accessible format. RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING POSTERS/FLYERS/BANNERS The creation of a web site, flyers, posters, banners both printed and digital and online recruitment via social media sites, extended the reach of the Harlequins club far and wide. In the first three months the playing numbers grew from 45 to 160 and the club is now regularly fielding 4 teams. Colourful, eye-catching and consistently on-brand marketing has captured the imagination of the local rugby community. The mini rugby section has grown from scratch to 75 kids within four weeks and is on target for a full complement of 175 children by the end of the season.
