The Challenge

Milk Honey Bees (MHB) approached HOL Group with excitement to work with our Award Winning Graphic Designer – Lo Williams.

MHB had created a short documentary – ‘See Us, Hear Us’ to spotlight a marginalised group in society and had an idea to create an engaging piece of media to support the launch of this documentary.

MHB wanted to work with HOL Group to tell this story visually, in the form of an engaging, age appropriate physical short magazine to showcase the great work that MHB do to enhance creativity in a safe space.

Our Solution

Although this began as a Brochure Bundle, due to the amount of bespoke detailed illustrations that were required for this 24pp A5 brochure, this resulted in this becoming a  Bespoke Project. HOL Group carried out the following on this project:

  • Visual Consistency: We collaborated with MHB’s Leadership team to create Bespoke Illustrations for their brand. MHB were given full ownership of the final designs, with full license to use across future marketing collateral and platforms

  • Formatting/Artworking: As well as providing bespoke illustrations, HOL Group also formatted and prepared the Zine into a digital ready and print ready final file, making detailed adjustments including colour correction, typography and formatting changes where necessary
  • Proofreading: As a trusted extension to MHB’s internal team, HOL Group offered fresh pairs of eyes to audit the document before sending off to be printed.

The Results

The success of this project has resulted in an ongoing positive working relationship between HOL Group and MHB, with HOL Group becoming a trusted partner and an extension of their design team. Other projects that HOL Group and MHB have collaborated on include:

  • Design of 2x reports
  • Conference Event packs
  • Website rebrand – coming soon

Following the design of this Zine, MHB have happily reported that they have secured new partnerships with leading government bodies by raising the profile of the issues explored in the Zine.

Why HOL Group?

1. Our Award Winning Graphic Designer

With a proven track record of delivering high-impact results, we pride ourselves on helping brands unlock their full potential. With our Award Winning Graphic Designer as our not-so-secret weapon, the majority of our bespoke projects involve design. With a special gift of freehand illustration, Lo is able to interpret her clients’ ideas into book illustrations, album covers, logo designs, portraiture and more, using her quirky animated style.

2. Bundle or Bespoke Solutions

We have designed clear value packed bundles of our most popular services at affordable prices because we have studied and understood our SME clients. That being said, we understand that every business is unique, which is why we carefully tailor all our brochure solutions to align with your specific goals and audience needs. From initial concept to final launch, we work closely with you to develop brochures that reflect your brand identity. Our collaborative approach ensures that your brochure is your idea brought to life whether Bundle or Bespoke.

3. Increase Brand Equity

Brochures are a great tool to use as part of your direct marketing strategy. With everything going digital, having a physical brochure to showcase areas of your business, charity or event is key in increasing your brand awareness and improved customer perception. As a leave behind of your services, or a way to outline your business vision and performance to stakeholders, brochures are less about sales figures but promise valuable non-monetary returns.
