"Not having a cohesive design strategy means creating reactive, not proactive, work— hastily developed designs that meet only the immediate needs of the client, with no thought of the future.
This results in a lack of a unified visual brand presence for the client over time."

"All innovation carry some degree of uncertainty for an individual, who is typically unsure of the new idea's functioning and thus seeks social reinforcement from others of his or her attitude toward the innovation. The individual wants to know wether his or her  thinking is on the right track in the opinion of peers"

For a European Association, the publication of an Annual Report is a real opportunity to deliver their key messages; to talk about their successes and to generate a positive wave of what has been achieved during the previous 12 months.

That is what did the European Healthcare Distribution Association (GIRP).

GIRP is the umbrella organisation for pharmaceutical full-line wholesalers and distributors of healthcare products and services in Europe.

The European Association represents the national associations of over 750 pharmaceutical wholesalers serving 33 European countries, as well as major international and pan-European healthcare distribution companies.

GIRP members employ over 140,000 people and distribute around 15 billion packs of medicines as well as a broad range of healthcare products per year.
As the vital link in healthcare, they are committed to developing and providing innovative and efficient healthcare products and services to improve the health and wellbeing of patients across Europe.

GIRP is one of the founding partners in the European Medicines Verification Organisation (EMVO) that brings together the three principal European associations of manufacturers and marketing authorisation holders (EAEPC, Medicines for Europe and EFPIA) as well as the European Association of Community Pharmacists (PGEU).

Page in extremis is glad to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the GIRP 2015-2016 Annual Report.

"When and where an event takes place can have a significant impact on the overall success of the event. Select the ideal date and location (region of the city) for the event, keeping in mind the ebb and flow of your invitee’s busy season at work. Try not to schedule a major event in the middle of fiscal year budgeting or other high-pressure periods. Attendance will suffer if your event is not seen as a priority during a certain period"

A few years ago, the European wine sector founded the Association “Wine in Moderation – Art de Vivre” with the mission to coordinate the European and global implementation of the “Wine in Moderation Programme".

The primary objective of the programme is to bring together the entire wine sector around one universal message that speaks to all wine consumers across borders, generations and genders regardless of where and when they consume wine.

This message is simple yet powerful and is supported by the whole wine sector: “Wine only appreciated in moderation”.

Key elements of the moderation message are communicated through targeted communication materials such as an online video.

In close collaboration with the communication team of the organisation, Page in extremis has developed the video dedicated to the essentials of the programme in several European languages.

The European Association has selected the communication agency, Page in extremis, as a strategic partner for ensuring a stronger alignment between the messages developed by the Association and their visual expressions.

Infographics enhance human ability to see patterns and trends

There are real benefits to creating infographics for your organisation.
Here is an example of the best usage of this trendy way to communicate: The Europe-Africa-Caribbean-Pacific Liaison Committee (COLEACP) is a civil society organisation (CSO), established in 1973 by stakeholders in the international fruit and vegetable trade.

COLEACP is a not-for-profit inter-professional association whose primary purpose is to support the development of a sustainable and competitive agriculture and agribusiness.

Since its creation, COLEACP has been managing development projects in the ACP agricultural and food sector, financed by donors (mainly the European Union).

From an operational standpoint, COLEACP is a network and a technical assistance tool for the durable and inclusive development of the private sector (SMEs) based on expertise and an active training system in 50 countries (outside the EU).

With the need to cope with increased amounts of data and at the same time increase quality and productivity, infographics like charts, graphs, and map are mainly used for operational purposes.

Infographics can improve cognition by utilising graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends.

The communication agency, Page in extremis, can help you deploy a consistent set of infographics that can become the backbone of your visual presence on social media.

The communication agency creates and refreshes corporate and institutional brands and develops digital and printed media.

« Stories from our work on the ground » is the title of the new digital publication of UNEP in Europe.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) established in 1972, is the voice for the environment within the United Nations system. UNEP acts as a catalyst, advocate, educator and facilitator to promote the wise use and sustainable development of the global environment.

UNEP address these by working on seven priority work areas: Climate Change, Disasters and Conflicts, Ecosystems Management, Environmental Governance, Chemicals and Waste, Resource Efficiency, and Environment Under Review.

The digital publication contains a snapshot into each of UNEP work areas through the eyes of their partners and beneficiaries, relying on outcomes from where they matter most.

A summary printed version of the digital publication exists in English and Russian.

The online publication is hosted on the web platform Unepineurope.org

Unepineurope.org is a hub for profiling what the UNEP is doing on the ground, highlighting work with partners, and informing stakeholders.

The digital platform allows disseminating the monthly E-Newsletter summarising the work that UNEP is delivering in the regions or from the regions.

The platform also gives a quick picture of the political movements in the regions and has a calendar section to mark upcoming events.

The platform has been designed and developed by Page in extremis in close collaboration with the UNEP communication team.

Based in Brussels, Page in extremis is a communication agency that makes brands conversational. They help organisations manage their communities, engage with their stakeholders and convey their messages through innovative digital tools.

Page in extremis has realised major web-based communications projects for many well-known global and European organisations.

"Brand positioning plays a key role in the building and managing of a strong brand by specifying how the brand is related to consumer’s goals. It can be thought of as answering three questions: (1) Who should be targeted for brand use? (2) What goal does the brand allow the target to achieve? (3) Why should the brand be chosen over other brands that achieve the same goal?"

— A. M. Tybout and B. Sternthal in Brand Positioning (Kellogg on Branding)
