Instalação ensina turistas a pronunciar os nomes de ruas na Dinamarca

Momo Miyazaki e Andrew Spitz são bem diferentes – ela é norte-americana e ele francês – mas ambos foram morar em Copenhagen, na Dinamarca.

Assim como você já deve ter passado por isso em viagens, eles não fazem ideia de como se pronuncia os complicados nomes de ruas. Convenhamos que, para qualquer turista, compreender esses “detalhes” é essencial na hora de pedir informações.

Pensando nisso, Momo e Andrew criaram uma instalação tecnológica para ajudar os perdidos nas ruas turísticas de Copenhagen. Você chega na placa, aperta o botão e pronto, quase uma aula de dinamarquês.

Calderys India business card by Paradigm Plus, Pune

Challenge: Our client Calderys India, world leader in refractory solutions, asked us to create a DM for their existing clientele to communicate the change in the company name from Calderys to Calderys India, while assuring continuing quality products, services and company support as before.

Concept: To create something on the line of a formal communication to maintain strong business relationships. It had to have a factor of surprise for customers while effectively delivering the message of change. That is how the innovative Business Card was born. There was an envelope that was designed to represent the old Business Card where the message ‘we have changed’ was communicated on the flap of the envelope. Once the recipient opens it, they would pull out a new Business Card with the New Company Name mentioned on it.

Result: These Business Cards have been sent to Calderys India clientele along with a personalized gift. Customers were surprised by this smart Business Card and thereby it delivered the message effectively.
This has generated a good amount of awareness about the company name change amongst existing clients while also presenting them with a new Business card for further communication.
