2015 & 2022 Banner & Exhibit Design
In 2015, and again in 2022, Colburn Strategic Partners was hired to conceptualize and design a trade show exhibit for Maine Technical Source. They attend a number of trade shows throughout the year to present their technology solutions directly to the members of professional associations in the various industries they serve.
We devised a modular design that allows them the flexibility to set up with different layouts depending on the space they’re presenting in. We sourced the printer and manufacturer, procured production quotes, designed the banners and backdrop, formatted the final design for print, and setup shipping of the full set to their 4 locations across New England and New York. Additionally, we provided quality-assurance by checking in with each location to make sure the banners were delivered without manufacturing defects.
Drone/UAV Sales Brochure Design & Laser Scanning Sales Brochure Design
We recommended that Maine Technical Source create a series of brochures to promote their top-of-the-line solutions, and in 2022 and 2023 MTS hired Colburn Strategic Partners to create brochures for their UAV & Photogrammetry Solutions, and Laser Scanning & Reality Capture Solutions.
We designed the brochures in a way that could be easily customized to each of their 4 locations, and would have the location-specific sales representative information. The soft-sell strategy of a handout allowed consumers to take the information back to their company, important for high-ticket products. Additionally, with the location-specific information their clients would understand they were working with a local a company that understands their region.
