Our expertise includes :

Branding and Graphic Design

Brand image is central to any communication strategy. This is how your industry differentiates its products/services from the competition and is perceived by your customers and partners. It's what makes it recognisable, what communicates its culture, its values and your message with precision. It's also an important part of your marketing strategy and needs to be well thought out beforehand. Our team of graphic designers will help you create a powerful, unique and consistent brand image that reflects the level of expertise in your industry.

Thanks to the unique creative process developed at What'zhat, we combine your unique vision of the business (your culture) with the specific characteristics of your market (how customers perceive the players in it) to create a captivating visual identity for effective, consistent communication.

Creation of brochures and catalogues for industry

Your print tools (catalogues, product sheets, business cards, flyers, sales brochures, event posters, etc.) need to have an impact and be easy to read. convey a positive image of your industry and your products.

The catalogue or brochure is a marketing tool that is particularly well-suited to industrial companies. It allows you to advertise your products and services clearly and concisely, highlighting your production chain, the processes used and the solutions provided in your sectors. It can also be used to publicise the technical specifications of your products. It is an essential support for sales representatives, who can use it as a sales aid and leave it with the customer after an appointment.

After carrying out a print audit of your brands, we'll provide you with communications advice to help you come up with the right materials. Because creativity is at the heart of our identity, we can offer you cutting-edge printing methods: totem POS, matt printing, micro-perforated laser cutting, hot foil stamping, glitter, scratch-off game printing, embossing, "object" or "plant" business cards and selective varnish. Citrus or grape must-based papers are also now available.

As part of an ecologically responsible approach, the creative services of our printers and subcontractors are chosen according to this value: stock of paper from sustainably managed forests, use of vegetable-based inks and waste management. We'll support you right through to the printing and delivery of your communication materials.

Industry websites

Today, every self-respecting company must have a website that ranks well in search results. More and more professionals are researching products and services online before making a decision, which is why it's important to be well referenced and to offer a clear, ergonomic website.

What are your objectives? What message do you want to get across? What media should you use? What's your budget?
