Case Studies

SciCan

Corporate Identity and Messaging

SciCan is known the world over as a manufacturer of quality dental and medical products. Pivot Design Group was brought on board to help develop their North American repositioning, “A higher standard” and to coordinate SciCan’s 50th anniversary. These projects were so successful, SciCan invited us to create a full advertising campaign to lead the repositioning of the company worldwide. Pivot design group created all the elements of the campaign, including applications to all communications materials worldwide.


Flakeboard

Corporate Presentation > Material Board

“We came to Pivot at a time when we had just completed a major acquisition and needed an entirely fresh look and direction. Our first major project was a presentation piece for the largest and most recognized part of our business. The creative was rich, relevant and captivating, and accomplished what we set out to do – take our image to another level. Working with Pivot has been a professional, efficient and collaborative experience, and we are looking forward to growing our partnership with them.”

Gillian Matthew, Flakeboard


Daily Bread Food Bank

Not-for-profit > Campaign and Messaging

Daily Bread Food Bank was in need of a refreshed message and image to help them forward their cause and future plans. Their existing positioning of “Feeding Hungry People” was viewed to be less proactive than where they wanted to be, so they approached Pivot to help them develop an entire repositioning campaign, shifting them into their new advocacy role of “Fighting Hunger.”

Recently, Pivot helped Daily Bread take their message to the streets, launching the “Hungry City - Make your Mark” campaign, deploying a full communications strategy – including advertising, a microsite and web banners - plus a full-out guerilla marketing campaign involving campaign bus design, street teams, sidewalk chalking, posters, buttons, bags wild postings and collateral materials.


DataMirror

Corporate Communications

As a Real-Time Data Integration and Protection company, DataMirror wanted to promote the new IBM iSeries server, and was looking for ways to promote its benefits to potential clients. This new offering was big news for small to mid-sized businesses, and DataMirror felt their clients would embrace the many benefits of the product, if they could cut through the corporate clutter and really get their attention. DataMirror came to us for a campaign that would be highly visible in a sea of somewhat emotionless adds, packed with promises of technical prowess, but lacking personality. Our “Fall In Love with Your iSeries” campaign took the server out of the boardroom, showcasing business people hugging their servers in highly unbusinesslike settings, such as a public park. This led to an equally successful “Feel the Love” Direct Mail campaign.

The campaign was heralded with a heart-felt letter from IBM, congratulating DataMirror on their success and resulted in increased awareness and sales.
