Informa

Informa is a FTSE 100 publishing, business intelligence and exhibitions company. It’s based in the UK with offices in 40+ countries and over 10,000 employees worldwide.

Through their many brands, they deliver intelligence, research, content, connections and data-driven services that specialist customer communities worldwide rely on.

Over the past twelve years Endeavour has worked with various brands in the Informa group, predominantly in media & telecoms (Informa Telecoms & Media, Ovum and Omdia) and shipping (Lloyd’s List and its sub brands). We’ve worked with management on a range of projects including new product offerings and marketing campaigns, and we’ve teamed up directly with in-house analysts on key reports.

CHALLENGE

Introduce Omdia to the market and position them as category leaders at Mobile World Congress.

SOLUTION

In February 2020, Informa Tech merged all their technology, media and telecomms research businesses into one new super company: Omdia. They’re a powerhouse in research, with more than 400 analysts and consultants covering 140 technology markets and collecting over 350 million data points that are fed into 3,000 research reports every year.

For the launch of the new brand, Endeavour created Omdia’s headline report for Mobile World Congress. It featured core research and expert opinion from a range of analysts and it was one of their first pieces of collateral following the rebrand, so it was key that the way we implemented the brand guidelines was consistent and visually exciting for the audience. It was a powerful way to present this new brand at the world’s largest exhibition for the industry.

This was then also rolled out across a range of additional marketing materials such as roller banners, social media graphics and invites.

AND THE CLIENT SAID…

Endeavour were recommended to me by a colleague and have since been my preferred design agency for the last 8 months. We have used their services for several large design campaigns including website redesign, event booth concept creation and branding exercises for product launches.

Stephen and team are thoroughly professional, working closely with us throughout the consultation/briefing stage through to finish ensuring that there were no surprises along the way. I can’t speak highly enough of their service. Their work is of the highest quality and always delivered in a timely manner and on budget.

Ovum whitepapers & ebooks

CHALLENGE

Standardise, professionalise and productise Ovum’s whitepaper and ebook outputs for their consulting clients.

SOLUTION

Endeavour often works directly with analysts on whitepapers and ebooks. Usually these are Ovum-led branded and we’ve created master templates and guidelines dictating how they should be created (A4, US Letter and landscape ebooks, both on and offline) to ensure they’re all clearly identifiable as Ovum publications. Based on the master Ovum brand guidelines, our templates have evolved over time to create a clean, modern aesthetic and an approach to presenting complex data that maximises audience engagement.

Some publications we’ve worked on have been client-led branded (e.g. Microsoft, Intel, Redhat) and we’ve created them in line with their own brand guidelines.

As a supplement to the white papers, we’ve have also created public facing content for Ovum, including infographics, teasers and other visuals to showcase the most interesting elements from the white papers in a completely different way.

These projects often require a quick turnaround, which is where our excellent, long working relationship with Informa and understanding of complex data really come to the fore.

AND THE CLIENT SAID…

I have been working with Stephen and his team for seven years now and have always greatly valued his consultative approach to designing all manner of assets that help us to both go-to-market and enhance our end deliverables.

Stephen and his team are quickly able to grasp our intended outcomes and work backwards from those to advise and co-create with us. On a practical level, I have always appreciated the responsiveness from Stephen and his team, as well as the desire to understand more about our business so that they can best support us in the future.

Lloyd’s List

CHALLENGE

Redesign the daily Lloyd’s List newspaper in Berliner format.

SOLUTION

Lloyd’s List is one of the world’s longest running publications, delivering shipping news since 1734 in print and, now, online. Today it covers data and analysis for all sectors related to shipping, such as insurance, energy, logistics and law.

When it was decided to move the daily newspaper to a new Berliner format, Endeavour was asked to help with the redesign of the entire paper and its identity, which included designing a new masthead and identity system for all sub-brands. We updated the styling across the newspaper including a new typographic treatment, colour palette and grid structure that we carried across into a far clearer and more legible information hierarchy, making the newspaper easier to read and more visually interesting. We then helped set up templates and training for the internal team at Informa to allow them to roll out the daily issues.
