Brochure re-design brief: To create a generic brochure for seven different divisions within Eximius Group; Finance, Law, Energy, Hong Kong Finance, Hong Kong Law, Dubai and Group. The brochure will be used as a promotional tool for the consultants to take to client meetings or to digitally send to new/existing clients. The purpose of the brochures is to attract new clients to work with Eximius and to emanate professionalism for the Eximius brand. The brochures will be created in two stages- content then design; Eximius’ CEO will sign of each stage. The brochures must be modern and contemporary, and must make the text heavy content look visually engaging. Brochures must be on-brand with the current Eximius brand guidelines, however there is room to experiment with existing styles/website design.
