How we’ve earned our stripes
3. Communicating the brand
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools
available to marketers; because plots and
characters are what connect people emotionally
to the brand. Zebra has a team of experienced
marketing writers that can establish continuity
of brand message throughout all marketing
channels. We will work with you to identify what
literature you need, before working with you to
make it happen.
Positioning the brand
Every company has different requirements, so
positioning yours correctly within your area of
business is where we can help. This often forms
a key part of the PR plan and can include industry
awards, sponsorship opportunities, CSR activity
and local community work.
It is important that you have a structured approach
to your marketing and PR – we will work with you
to establish what you are trying to achieve and how
you aim to get there. When it comes to crisis
management,‘No Comment’ is never an option.
But, Zebra is able to work as your press office to
respond promptly to press queries.
Selling the brand
Face-to-face contact with your target audience
is a vital component to marketing your brand,
and that’s why we offer a total event management
service. We can source the venue, organise the
catering, find the MC and all the other things that
need doing to ensure an event is a success. We are
happy to organise all types of events including
staff and customer conferences and exhibitions,
corporate, community and fundraising events and
award ceremonies. All you need to do is turn up
and enjoy!
Exhibit with Confidence
Alongside Black Iris Exhibitions, we also provide
half-day workshop training for exhibitors to equip
them with the right tools to generate leads and
‘Exhibit with Confidence’.
Getting the right people involved in the brand
To deliver excellence across all marketing channels,
collaboration with other key creative professionals
is essential. We work alongside trusted graphic
designers, exhibition stand designers,
photographers, videographers and web developers
that we have built strong relationships with to do
just that. For more information about whose
services we use, visit www.zebra-comms.co.uk.
Simply ‘the brand’
Marketing is as simple as you make it. You won’t
hear industry jargon from us or elaborate
justifications for why marketing is essential for
business. If you want straightforward marketing
and PR support, done well, then keep it simple,
choose Zebra.

We provide professional, high-quality marketing,
communications and PR support at affordable
prices. We pride ourselves on the quality of our
work and the service we provide - our pricing
is a fair reflection of this.
Our services are tailored to suit, and so too is our
pricing scheme. We charge for our time and any
additional costs, such as print and design, will be
outsourced and quoted for independently.
Each project has different objectives and how we
achieve these depends on how much of our time
is required. So the best way to understand how
we can help and how much it will cost, is to simply
get in touch for an informal, friendly chat with any
one of our team members! We can listen to your
needs and respond quickly with a fair and
reasonable quote.
