Print as a brand
ambassador

How the haptic brand experience increases the value of your brand

Print media are more than just information carriers – they have an impact through material, feel, and design. Studies such as “Consumer Generations” show that, especially in the premium segment, consumers are looking for sensory experiences that make brands tangible. Print can fulfill this requirement – as a clear brand ambassador that conveys value and builds trust.

Print as a brand ambassador – why haptics work

Printed brand media create a multi-sensory experience. Conscious touching demonstrably strengthens the emotional effect – much more intensely than digital advertising. The study “Sensory Aspect of Package Design” shows that packaging with finishes can increase attention by up to 2.5 times. A haptic approach also pays off in direct marketing, mailings, or print advertisements.

Design of all print media as brand ambassadors of a new brand identity – from advertisements to packaging.

Print media as tangible brand carriers

Those who offer premium products must convey value. High-quality print products such as elaborately designed annual reports, invitations, or product catalogs with special finishes demonstrate: This brand takes its message seriously. Especially in the higher-priced segment, print media create proximity, trust, and differentiation.

Strengthening brands with a media mix

We develop print products that are more than just a nice addition: strategically planned, cleverly designed, and effectively used along the Customer Journey. Because print can strengthen brands – as a haptic experience, an emotional anchor, and a clear ambassador in interaction with digital touchpoints.

FaQ

In a non-binding initial consultation, we clarify needs, framework conditions and goals. Then we propose an individual project flow.

Our print media are part of an overarching brand strategy. They never arise in isolation, but are embedded in positioning, storytelling, and design.

For us, print media are not just a channel, but a strategic instrument. We develop journeys in which print is used in a targeted manner.

In a clear process: from strategic goal definition to creative guiding ideas to technically and creatively high-quality implementation.

Whenever brands operate in the premium segment, want to generate special attention, or an exclusive brand experience is planned.
