Creating Possibilities
I'm a new startup, offering Sales & Marketing consultancy, specifically around New Product Development and Customer Marketing and I'm looking for a logo, a business card and a PowerPoint background.
I believe in making things happen, focussing on simple, elegant solutions to complex problems.
Creating Possibilities is born out of problem solving for clients, offering creative solutions but also focussing on the art of the possible, not on theoritical abstractions. It's about standing in the future and then working out how to get there as quickly as possible.
I love it because every project & client is different (so it's difficult to describe exactly what it is I do!) and receive most of my work through recommendation and networking. People usually contact me saying... "we've got this problem, I wonder if you could help us come up with some ideas..."
I've worked with some of the world's biggest brands (Guinness, Foster's, Johnnie Walker, Beck's, Smirnoff...) and I've picked up some tools and techniques along the way, which I share with my clients.
I pride myself in being creative, pragmatic, authentic and energetic. And when I've asked others about me, I'm reknowned for being passionate, clear thinker, and determined.
I want the personality to be professional, creative, elegant and happy.
Sales or Marketing Directors from small companies through to multinationals, so it needs to have a degree of professionalism and seriousness in tone, alongside the creativity, energy and support I offer.
I might only meet them for a few minutes at a conference or be introduced through a mutual contact, and they see lots of "consultants" so I need to stand out instantly. I need something that triggers me in their minds when they see the card at a later date. That's where you come in...
They're busy people and need help in making sense of a fragmented world, quickly putting plans into action.
I'm looking for three things:
Logo
Business Card
PowerPoint background
LOGO
I want a logo that I'll use on my business card, on my invoices and as a PowerPoint background.
I'd love it to be professional and unforgettable and not quirky or naff. I'm thinking elegant and creative with positivity and action.
The font is as important as any device or artwork. If you choose a device, I'd love a device that is thought provoking and help people recall "Create Possibilities". I prefer images to illustrations and am happy with either abstract or concrete depictions.
BUSINESS CARD
Both sides of the business card can be used, though it's not mandatory to use both sides. It needs to be no bigger than a standard business card size, so it fits in wallets etc. Feel free to consider different materials or colours of paper, but white paper is perfectly acceptable.
I need to have my name, the company name, my email address & my mobile number on the card

PowerPoint
I'd love a title slide background and a "title & content" slide background.
