RADISSON BLU

The Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group has invested $125m in its first 'Blu' hotel in the Americas -The Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago. The hotel with its distinctive wave-like exterior is a unique landmark on the Chicago skyline. The world's largest skyscraper to be designed by a woman - Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects - it was named the Emporis Skyscraper Award 2009 'Skyscraper of the Year' and was shortlisted for the biennial International Highrise Award 2010.

In 2011 Carlson commissioned Teviot to create a new brand identity to launch the Radisson Blu brand in the Americas. The brief was also to develop and evolve the brand identity for advertising, marketing material, hotel collateral, digital and online roll out.

Our on-going partnership with the Group, aligned to our extensive global hospitality experience and unique knowledge of the Radisson Blu brand, allowed us to create a strong look and feel that has high recognition in the marketplace.

The advertising launch campaign received media acclaim with its striking visual appeal. At the same time it ensured a successful hotel opening with strong brand awareness.

CLUB CARLSON

Carlson commissioned us to create an engaging new global brand identity that communicated Club Carlson's unique customer-centric approach to hotel loyalty.

The brief required us to create a distinctive brand. It had to stand out from its competitors. And it had to ensure a consistent approach for all printed and digital communications going forward.

As well as creating detailed brand guidelines, we delivered an in-depth global brand-training programme to agencies around the world tasked with implementing the brand. The training ensured complete buy-in. It also provided a platform for campaign development, allowing the brand to reach new markets and attract new members.

Club Carlson now has over 8 million members. The launch exceeded its target of 1.5 million new members within 12 months. Active membership has grown 30% in that time. Members stay more, spend more and are three times more likely to return than non-members.

Our unique relationship with Carlson in the US, has allowed us to be active brand partners and ambassadors and a real part of the Carlson 'family.'

“Working with Teviot has been instrumental in the program's success and unique brand identity. The dedicated team are excellent to work with and really understand our brand and objectives. Thank you!”

Valory Gilpin

Manager, Loyalty Marketing Programs and Partnerships

VERRES EN VERS

Our brand creation for Verres en Vers captures a modern French brasserie atmosphere with a local and stylish feel.

Verres en Ver is one of a diverse range of restaurant and bar concepts contributing to Radisson Blu's successful portfolio.

The advertising launch campaign received media acclaim with its striking visual appeal. At the same time it ensured a successful hotel opening with strong brand awareness.

“Teviot create complete brand packages that enable new brands to be franchised and implemented consistently across international hotels

The successful formula created by Teviot has meant we can apply the same level of creative expertise and project management to all our new restaurant and bar concepts.”

Manager, Rezidor Hotel Group

NAPIER UNIVERSITY

We created a smart concept - 'Aspire' - for Napier's prospectus and recruitment campaign that was successfully used to inspire and motivate prospective students to enrol and make the University their first choice.

The concept played on 'A' class words to communicate success, achievement and an aspirational mood. Low angle photography of go-getting students and attractive images of contemporary Edinburgh were used to capture the desirability of both the location and the University.

“As a client, I received everything I wanted from Teviot – strong creative, good communication and a can do attitude. They fostered a straightforward working relationship and delivered on their promises; on time, on budget and with zero drama.”

Publications Officer, Edinburgh Napier University

HEINEKEN UK

From rebranding Heineken's pub company as Star Pubs & Bars to designing and producing their internal lifestyle magazine Refresh, and creating and building Heineken's UK website, we are a key partner in the evolution of the Heineken brand for British communication channels. Working closely with the Heineken team, we ensure that the Heineken brand in the UK is consistent across all media streams.

Additionally, we work in partnership with the Corporate Relations team to produce all of Heineken's employee communications, both digital and print based. We have helped them to promote and evolve a broad range of projects, from initial planning to final fulfilment.

“We were delighted with the result. Teviot created a highly professional, well designed site that has attracted more visitors and has led to extremely positive feedback from our stakeholders.”

Lucy Hannay

Communications Manager HEINEKEN

SYKES

When Sykes, the $2 billion global outsourcing specialist, commissioned us to re-design their web presence 'from the ground up', the key thing we had to create was a comprehensive plan. The main reason being, that in dealing with the 'enterprise' and 'careers' focused sites, we had a 210-page challenge on our hands.

We spent time on site within the global HQ in Tampa. We got under the skin of the business at a corporate level. We grasped and challenged the current strategy and associated messaging. We gained insight into the market vertical dynamics that were at play, primarily via empathy maps.

Then it was time to understand more fully the regional recruitment activities: their key messages, competitor activity and how the web could facilitate agent recruitment and retention. Finally we went on a 'content deep dive' with the verticals.

Our plan incorporated clear tasks, clear milestones, clear responsibilities and a clear timeline to ensure that all stakeholders knew exactly where we were with the project. The plan paid off brilliantly.

RBG

Working closely with the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, we created the Red Bar and Grill restaurant brand.

As well as producing brand guidelines, our creative work included developing the new brand identity across photography, signage, uniforms, menus and advertising.

The new identity uses fresh photography, a mix of serif and sans serif fonts and a striking colour palette to compliment the prime cuts sizzling on the RBG open grill.

RBG restaurants are now open throughout the world in Carlson Rezidor hotels.

BRITISH CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

Bethany Christian Trust is a national charity that celebrates 25 years of helping homeless people this year.

Working in close partnership with Bethany we created a new brand identity that communicates with potential funders, staff as well as homeless and vulnerable people themselves.

The dynamic new brand captures the heart and soul of the charity through strong imagery and bold colours and has received acclaim and awards over the past few years.

CARLSON REZIDOR
GLOBAL BUSINESS
CONFERENCE

When Carlson Rezidor asked us to deliver a brand identity and all creative elements for their Global Business Conference, that welcomes 1300 employees from 33 countries, we weren't fazed. Quite the opposite: this is the kind of partnership Teviot thrives on!

Being a full service agency, projects like this provide a showcase for all our expertise: design, branding, film, digital and production, as well as the less glamorous but key roles of project management and logistics.

Add the fact that the conference was to take place in the Bahamas and we were in for a challenging and exciting project.

The brief required us to design all aspects of the conference identity and promotional collateral, including literature, website, invitations, video footage and signage. We worked closely with other agencies involved in the event to ensure consistency of branding and messaging throughout.

The conference itself delivered over 33 hours of presentations, over 1000 supporting slides, and 14 videos. This included a number of film elements that were shot, edited and delivered on site. This lead to a few sleepless nights for our resident film maestro Andy.

The conference met with huge approval ratings from delegates with particular praise for our film work.

TEMPLE SPA

Temple Spa is a lifestyle brand for men and women comprising skin care, aromatherapy and health supplements.

Teviot were involved in the creation and development of the brand, which is based on the concept of creating your own spa wherever you are and is strongly influenced by the ingredients, colours and lifestyle of the Mediterranean.

As brand partner, we were responsible for the brand identity, new product development, product packaging, pre-launch promotion and in-store point of sale. Our sophisticated sales collateral was instrumental in opening doors when the brand was being presented to major clients such as hotel groups and airlines.

THE REFUGEE COUNCIL

Teviot were honoured to partner with the Refugee Council to create the Refugee Week programme and Annual Report.

The theme we created for the Refugee Week was 'We' which highlights and celebrates the common touch points between Scotland and other cultures. We used sensitive photography to communicate the personality and life of the Refugee community in Scotland and the positive effect it has on established communities.

We used uncoated paper for a tactile, down-to-earth feel with bold contemporary colours and clear, clean layout design.

MAXXIUM

Maxxium is a worldwide distributor of premium wines and spirits. They wanted a sales presenter/corporate gift pack to increase sales from the corporate market and tasked us with the challenge.

We created a luxury hard-cased box, housing a high quality colour brochure, transparent fly sheet and sample bottle of champagne. A mix of plike cover paper, embossing and foils we're used to create the attention grabbing cover. We employed lifestyle and product photography inside to convey the various gift possibilities the pack offered.

Maxxium ended up with a unique pack with a simple, classic feel that gives this sales presenter an enticing quality gift appeal.

MALMAISON

Since Malmaison's original boutique hotel, Teviot's brand partnership has been instrumental in raising awareness of this iconic brand, billed as 'a stylish alternative to the mainstream'.

During our partnership we have created a visual style that accentuated the corporate point of difference through a combination of engaging, quirky copy, dramatic photography and strong production values, providing a fresh twist to all marketing collateral.

LUCKNAM PARK

Located in the heart of the English countryside - just minutes from elegant Bath Spa - Lucknam Park is a proud member of Relais & Chateaux and has been awarded a Michelin Star, AA 5 Red Stars and Visit Britain Gold Award. Lucknam Park is the ideal place to leave everyday life behind.

Teviot were briefed to rebrand the hotel in tandem with a recent multi-million pound investment in the hotel and development of a new spa. We refreshed the current logo and revitalised the brand look and feel with a newly designed website, advertising, collateral and various hotel brochures.

The classic modern design style highlights the superb grounds and architecture of this 500 acre country house. Each key area of the hotel has its own unique colour palette whilst remaining part of the main brand family. Our new visual identity communicates the rich heritage and exacting quality and service of this superlative hotel.

“Having worked with Teviot for over 5 years, I wouldn't hesitate recommending them as a great creative agency to work with.”

Marketing Director

HOTEL MISSONI

Teviot partnered with the ultra-stylish Hotel Missoni to create promotional collateral to allure international PR fashionistas and hospitality agents to engage with and experience its new hotel concept.

It was critical to create a unique, exclusive and luxurious feel across logo, print and online. Compact and glamorous, the booklet and information cards tucked inside were a colourful reflection of the distinctive Missoni fabrics. Photography was accentuated using a gloss varnish to capture the hotel's unique appeal through social gathering places like its Cucina, Luna Bar and Cocco Café. We extended our brand work with Missoni to cover the Kuwait launch event.

FILINI CHICAGO

Working closely, once again, with the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Teviot created the exciting new brand for Filini, the Italian bar and restaurant.

The communication items included a full brand guideline manual, signage, menus, collateral and website. The scalable brand started its journey in Europe. It was recently unveiled as the flagship restaurant brand at the new award winning Radisson Blu Aqua Chicago.

The essence of Filini is an unshakeable belief in Italian food and wines, style and service.

Filini's chefs create authentic Italian food, simply prepared to let the freshest of ingredients exhale. Menus are flexible with a view of food being there to share with friends and family. Filini boasts a wine list that matches its dishes – compiled to satisfy a full range of tastes. And to start? A killer cocktail or just a great beer.

We loved designing this and believe we designed in the 'amore'.

EUROSTYLE

With an extremely tight turnaround time, Teviot created a glossy travel magazine promoting Carlson Rezidor's fantastic hotels around Europe.

The magazine used both insightful and useful information on the various European cities, plus relevant destination and hotel photography to create a stylish travellers' magazine.

Associated luxury brand advertising was utilised throughout to partner with the Radisson brand. Teviot's experience of the Group's various brands helped expedite the successful project within its tightest of deadlines…

BRITISH TOURISM UNIT

The promotion of a Scottish tourism brand to an international business audience provided the focus of our five-year association with VisitScotland's Business Tourism Unit (formerly Scottish Convention Bureau).

Our primary marketing objective was to position Scotland as a must-see destination for meetings, incentives, conferences and corporate hospitality. With a vision to expand this market by 75% by 2015, their key markets included the US, Germany, Italy and France, and the Far East emerging as a lucrative territory.

Teviot created a visual style that immediately positioned Scotland as a sophisticated and welcoming location. We implemented this style across literature including a Conference Guide, Hospitality Guide and Incentive Guide. The style was also carried through to press advertising, support material and exhibitions.

The strength of the brand identity lies in the combination of a unique colour palette, engaging copy and the imaginative use of photography which captures the true entrepreneurial spirit and natural beauty of Scotland.

BETHANY CHRISTIAN TRUST

Bethany Christian Trust is a national charity that celebrates 25 years of helping homeless people this year. Working in close partnership with Bethany we created a new brand identity that communicates with potential funders, staff as well as homeless and vulnerable people themselves. The dynamic new brand captures the heart and soul of the charity through strong imagery and bold colours and has received acclaim and awards over the past few years.

TICKETSOUP

When the SECC wanted to launch a new ticketing system to promote events, We were appointed to create the new brand identity. A visual identity that had had personality and a strong presence so that customers could relate to it and added a touch of humour.

TGI FRIDAYS

We work with TGI Fridays across a range of their business areas, from the development of their external facing branding and restaurant interiors to the creative design and strategic development of their Employee Value Proposition branding. By building a strong foundation here, we have helped them to connect with their employees across the United States using both digital and traditional print solutions.

However, a visual overhaul of a brand without the strong foundation of solid content strategy and planning limits success, so we're helping TGI Fridays to develop their internal portal, employee communications and recruitment process. As part of this development, we are looking at the ways in which TGI Fridays can engage with their employees to generate enthusiasm and loyalty, creating ambassadors for the brand.

TEVIOT GIVING

We are committed to investing our time, expertise and resources to help develop and maintain vibrant and sustainable communities. As our business has expanded over the years, we have created and/or supported an increasing number of local community projects around the world.

Our Mission…to make a difference, no matter how small.

CHILDREN OF
SONGEA TRUST

In 2010 we were introduced to Children of Songea, a Scottish-based charity that works with communities in Tanzania to deliver education, health and livelihood programme for children that have been orphaned by AIDS.

COS work alongside Good Samaritin Mission who provided social, civil and health services within the community since 1999. GSM work with orphaned children, young people and carers, improving their access to education and health care.

Their partnership builds on the skills and knowledge within GSM, ensuring that the strategy is shaped by local people. In addition, COS contribute experience and expertise that assist GSM to build its capacity to help local people achieve a sustainable and happy future.

DAUGHTERS
OF CAMBODIA

Daughters of Cambodia is a faith-based non- Goverment organization reaching out to victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia.

Daughters has developed a unique model in Cambodia, one in which sex workers come direct to the organization from the brothels by choice. Daughters' day centre, in the heart of an area of Phnom Penh brothels, reaches out to girls working as sex workers and offers them ways out of this situation. We are not a shelter, but we facilitate the girls' exit from the sex industry by providing a number of resources and programs that enable them to set themselves free and sustain healthy choices for their own lives. They come because they are already motivated to change their lives, and Daughters gives them choice and dignity in building a different future, that make their choices sustainable and respect their human rights.

Good design is not about what we subjectively might want to see, but an educated and disciplined approach to ensuring all our clients maintain their visual identity with strength and integrity.

VALUE FOR CLIENTS

We share each other's every hope, fear and vision, spurring ourselves on to somehow finding a way through – especially when the odds of getting a job signed off on time seem 100 to 1 against. We bend the rules and stretch the boundaries. Why? Because we genuinely care. We care about the work we do, about how we do it – and about all the people we work with.

Our mission is to deliver a holistic, global creative service devoted, unreservedly, to making our clients, not just glow, but shine.

We're proud of our amazing, service driven culture and of our role as a market leader across all capabilities. And we're committed to maintaining our front-runner position.

Our body of work tells the story of how brilliantly creative Teviot is. Any agency worth its salt probably makes that claim - and promises great customer care! But, in reality, how many actually follow that through in every minute detail of their service delivery?
We do.

And we believe that what sets us apart from the rest is that we are fuelled by a passionate, people based culture. Our collective DNA drives us to build truly meaningful partnerships with every client.

Each dedicated Teviot team is always on the case. We're here for our clients and for each other 24/7, all 365 days of the year.

That's the Teviot mantra. We achieve this – and that 'we' is crucial – by the teams we build and the relationships we forge. We achieve the results we do by working alongside every client as a totally committed and empathetic partner. For each and every one of us at Teviot, it's about going the extra mile to ensure the optimum outcome for every situation and every project. It's about pulling together as a seamless force to turn dreams into a vibrant reality.

Egocentric, prima donna behaviour has no place here: quite the opposite, in fact. We strive to be accessible, amenable and understanding. We work with respect for every individual and their differing deadlines, desires, needs and vision. We build on the synergy we have with our clients to create the most powerfully effective team. All of this is what we, at Teviot, believe service to be about…

We don't claim to be perfect. But we do claim to do the very best we can do to deliver what clients believe is best for them. And then some!

With clients all around the world we are positioned to provide an efficient, pretty well round-the clock service. While our partners in Asia sleep, we get their project underway. When our American friends wake up, we'll have their proofs ready in their inbox. It's not rocket science: as our client sphere has grown, so has the service we offer.

We use our belief in building amazing, truly dynamic partnerships as our bench mark for recruitment. We use it as our benchmark for dealing with our clients. We use this as our way of life: Teviot life. We love what we do, the way we do it and all those we do it for. If only everything in life was that simple.

WORKING AT TEVIOT

We're always looking for talented people to join the team, even if there are no roles shown here. If you think you have the right skills and attitude to be a part of the Teviot family, Send us your CV, or a link to your show reel or portfolio and if you blow us away we might just find a space for you.

LOVE SHOP

Love is the thing that makes all the difference. We pride ourselves on our attention to the very smallest detail. Every one of our projects is done using industry standard practices and tools, but it's the extra layer of 'Teviot love' that makes the difference. Like our Talk Shops our Love Shops are designed to share our knowledge and experience of the little things that can make a huge difference. The shops are short talks, which you can attend in person or view as videos at your leisure.

TALK SHOP

What is the point in having in-depth knowledge of branding and how it works if you don't share it? Experience has taught us a lot, and it's valuable information we feel everyone should know.The aim of our Talk Shops is to share our knowledge and help others improve on theirs. They are short talks, which you can attend in person or view as videos at your leisure.

JANE MACDOWALL
Creative Partner

"For over 27 years, my team has continued to develop and ensure that we provide a holistic creative approach for all our clients across multi communication channels. As our clients grow, we grow. It's a very exciting and challenging time for us all."

DOUGLAS MACDOWALL
Creative Partner

"It's all about partnerships. There is no 'them' and 'us'. We work together with our clients, ensuring that we get under the skin of their company so we become an extension of their team. That helps communication and understanding, making their job easier and more productive. Anything less, simply doesn't fit within our DNA."

CRAIG HALL
Director

"Knowing the bigger picture, and why we do what we do, is crucial to the measurable success of a project. It's the flour in the cake, the base ingredient - without it, all we have is pretty pictures. We ask the 'elephant in the room' questions."

MATT BUCHANAN
Head of Design

"Brands no longer only communicate ink on paper. They're connecting with their customers wherever they are. Being able to give that full creative service that we can now offer, allows us to be real brand partners with our clients."

ED VICKERS
Head of Digital

"Having a traditional website won't cut it any more. Understanding who uses your site, how they interact with it, and their experience whilst on the site will directly affect their opinion of you and your brand. We do beautiful, that's a given, but equally we create brilliantly functional, usable, engaging online experiences."
