Correct identification of cities by the agent allows entry to a Marriott Mini adventure to be held later this year and the chance to win a holiday in a yet undisclosed location.

Andy Rainford, Senior Designer at The Agency commented "The main challenge on this project was developing the very different illustrations in such a way that there was visual consistency throughout and alignment to the Marriott Brand. The final results and client response proved that we achieved this."

We had deliberated over the name and brand internally for some time but decided to instruct a creative agency to provide some much needed creative input on the project.

Nick came out to visit us at our premises and spent a considerable amount
of time understanding who we were, the services to be launched and just what sort of direction we wanted to take with the new service. I was absolutely delighted when Nick returned just 4 days later with the product brand absolutely nailed. We loved the logo and the overall service positioning ideas that The Agency team had come up with, irrespective of the fact that all this had been achieved in just 4 days, some two days early!'
