The team at Createinn are celebrating after being named as one of the finalists in this year’s North Notts Business Awards.

Judges put Createinn through to the final of the awards in the Business of the Year 2017 category for 1-10 employees (Micro Business of the Year).

The finalists in all categories were announced during the North Notts Business Connections Breakfast Networking meeting held in Spencer’s on the Square, Retford, today (Wednesday, January 25).

Don't fear change! Change is refreshing. There is never a wrong time to change your branding if you feel it necessary. You may feel your company too young or alternatively too old with too much heritage attached. Your brand will need to change to suit your market, and this may be driven by your consumers due to changes in attitude or even technology.

Companies that are young or venture into new markets, such as a more online driven business, often change their company name along with it. It is common to update the style of logos, fonts and colours to keep up with an ever changing culture, and good examples of this can be seen if you look up Shell's logo history or the BBC.

The start of 2017 sees CREATEINN embarking on an exciting new chapter with the appointment of an additional member to the team.

Steve Cawthorne, who has worked in the communications field as a reporter, feature writer and newspaper editor, joins the team to help expand CREATEINN’s growing portfolio of services.

Steve said: “I am delighted to be joining the team at CREATEINN. This is an exciting time for the company and I am pleased to be a part of it.”

This appointment will help drive CREATEINN’s expanding communications and marketing services, helping to deliver an even more inclusive package to clients.

It is a common occurrence for a client to walk into our studios with not only a preconceived idea about a logo-style but also about what colours we should use. Colour choice is critical, and believe it or not, can greatly help towards the understanding and ultimately the success of your brand. It can place your product within the market and even define its relevance within it.

The theory of colour is a combination of industry, psychology and social experience, all of which can be culturally lead, differing per country. You should bear this in mind when you think about the markets of your company and/or its product or service.

Today CREATEINN celebrates 12 years since its incorporation. To celebrate we are offering some unbeatable prices from our in-house printing team as a way of thanks to all our customers, existing and new alike, available to take advantage of until the end of the year.

From humble beginnings CREATEINN began initially in Sheffield and soon moved to Retford along with its founder Jon Rogers. Soon requiring larger premises CREATEINN moved into offices within the Worksop Turbine. Here CREATEINN continued to grow bringing its first in-house printer installment of the highest end allowing the ability to create Fogra certified colour proofs to keep them ahead of the game in ability and quality. To facilitate the growing local clientele as well as the national and international work, an additional office was reopened back in Retford.
