Authenticity strengthens your product. Family business Deligout became a major player, but did not forget its core values: tradition and authenticity. So, nephew Basile became the face of the marketing campaign, and grandfather Henri the brand name for the private label and packaging. You feel the family history.

Make your message visually clear. Umiscreen produces films that filter the sunlight. Well, just show it then. In all communication and marketing of the company. Don’t bore your customer with words, if the image tells you everything. Simplicity is clear.

So, a one-and-a-half-ton rhino is testing how sturdy a Worklite lamp really is. On a construction site. The image got everyone’s attention, that’s for sure. corporate identity / copywriting art direction photography / online & offline visuals leaflets / displays / point-of-sale material / t-shirts
