no IMAGINATION
has no wings.

British paint manufacturer, Sadolin Paints is the largest paint supplier in Uganda. As the products lend themselves to many unique concepts, we developed many long term ad campaigns. When we started working with them, they had a very strong set of corporate quidelines for their collateral. After building their confidence in us, we eventually got them to break out and take a few more chances. The new look was well received and from there they took their business to new heights.

After being frustrated with the poor customer service provided by the former company, Bolton International wanted to let customers know the same great products were still available but with greatly improved service. Their goal was to directly compete with the former company. Bolton International provides solar panels, generators, insecticides and fertilizers to a variety of companies.
