3 Promotional Products for the Consulting Detective and Criminal

January 25th, 2012 by Juliette
Sherlock and Watson

Consulting Detectives

In the world of BBC’s “Sherlock” word of mouth is often more than enough advertising for the world’s only consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes and his counterpart, the world’s only consulting criminal, Jim Moriarty. Their fame and notoriety spreads like wildfire, often thanks to each other.  Sherlock’s name is known through Scotland Yard and Moriarty’s name is whispered quietly and the “name no one says”. In any case, both are known and known well in their select circles.

Of course, as a fan of the new series (and of the original Sherlock Holmes novels) I began to wonder what kind of promotional products they might use if both Sherlock and Moriarty wanted to expand their client base. I came up with a couple of ideas for both of them!

Promotional Conversations in Unlikely Places

January 18th, 2012 by Juliette
Mick Foley autograph

Last week I had an interesting conversation with a couple of friends while waiting to see the wrestler Mick Foley perform standup comedy at a local club. I was searching through my backpack for a pen and she whipped one out of her purse for me. As I took it I noticed it was imprinted with a medical/drug company logo and before I could say anything she actually gave the full spiel for the drug. I couldn’t help but laugh that she knew it by heart.

Scrooge and Name Badges

December 21st, 2011 by Rachel
Jacob Marley

Jacob Marley

One of my all time favorite Christmas traditions from my childhood is the Scrooge/Christmas Carol marathon that my mom, sister, and I partook in every Christmas.  We would all settle down in from of the TV set with at least 3 movies of our favorite miser, pull out all the Christmas presents (except what we purchased for each other) and had a wrapping party.  Sometime this would span a couple days, sometimes it was a night long affair.  While we’re not all able to get together for Christmas much with all of us living in different states all over the country, it is a tradition that I have kept going with my family down here.  This year, I can’t help but think of work while watching the movies and seeing how each ghost can relate to this industry.

New Viral Marketing – “The Dark Knight Rises”

December 14th, 2011 by Juliette
The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises

Tis the season….for viral marketing!

If you’ve been following our blog and social media sites then you probably know that I’m not only a huge geek and Batman fan but I love a good viral marketing campaign. Earlier this year I wrote about the “The Dark Knight” viral marketing that even years later left an impression as the best one I’ve seen (and participated in). Since then I’ve been curious to know if the final installment of the series, “The Dark Knight Rises”, would also have a viral marketing campaign of its own.

As of last week, I was rewarded.

Holiday Cheer!

Holiday Cheer!

When not making name badges and Promo Blocks, the folks at the Imagery Group love to celebrate seasons and holidays. This year I took a quick survey of favorite holiday movies. Some people immediately shouted out one particular movie, other folks couldn’t pick just one. After tallying up the votes I am happy to present our list of top ten holiday movies and the honorable mentions!

Hammering out the details

Hammering out the details

We know that selling name badges can be difficult. There are a ton of things to know about how badges are made and what processes and materials would work best for what you need. In the past we’ve blogged with (what we hoped are) helpful posts about different aspects of the “badge making process”.

To help you guys this holiday season and to give you an extra tool to start off the new year we’ve compiled all those awesome and informative blog posts into one list!

Batman Villains and Name Badges

Gotham's Rogues Gallery

Gotham's Rogues Gallery

I have a habit of comparing things to superheroes or villains. It’s almost as bad as my habit of trying to identify engraving fonts on the name badges of random strangers. It seemed natural that eventually I’d start comparing our different styles of name badges to some of my favorite DC villains. After all, if the members of Batman’s Rogues Gallery had to wear name badges, what would they pick?

Office Music – Rockin’ Through the Day

November 9th, 2011 by Juliette
Juliette rocks out

Juliette rocks out!

It’s easy to overlook the influence that music has on people, particularly in an office (where radio days are often carefully planned and guarded). But it’s often the music that can provide motivation even when you aren’t aware of it and even make or break a day.

Let’s take this morning, for example. I walked into the office, swapped the station to my preferred channel for my radio day and immediately my morning became 10x more awesome. Why?

An Imagery Group Halloween Teaser!

October 20th, 2011 by Juliette

Here at the Imagery Group we love Halloween. We decorate the office, plan our costumes, get silly and lately we’ve been planning out our company Halloween video.

Last year we not only filmed our “Costume Parade” but several folks learned the beginning of the Thriller Dance and we gathered to perform that for the camera. It was fun and I’ve spent a year wondering how to top that.

Then I was hit by an idea a few weeks ago.

October Movie Madness!

October 4th, 2011 by Juliette
It's October already?!

It's October already?!?!

It’s October! Time to break out the coats and sweaters, air out the down comforters and begin decorating for Halloween. If you hadn’t guessed from the tone of my previous posts, Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays. So much so that I leave a bat on my front door year round. It’s also one of the few times of the year that I can run around the city streets in random costumes and not get too many strange looks.

Netflix

Timing is everything...

The first rule about Netflix is “you don’t talk about Netflix”.

At least, that may be what Netflix CEO Reed Hastings may be wishing at this moment.

Convention giveaways and promotions at Dragon*Con

Jareth and Ninja Turtles

Juliette hangs with cool folks at the convention!

If you follow our Twitter and/or Facebook page (and if you’re not following, hop on over and join the conversation!) then you’d know that I’m back from a long weekend spent at a fun yearly geek convention known as Dragon*Con. It’s a convention with about 45,000 attendees that spans 5 hotels in downtown Atlanta and lasts from Friday through Monday. Four days of geeky events and things to do. (And yes, 4 days to wear crazy costumes. And never the same one twice.)

Of course that means that I had my eyes peeled for more than just awesome costumes and famous folks. I found myself fascinated by badges, buttons, ribbons and promotional products of all types that folks were handing out.

Name Badges – An Electrifying Product

August 30th, 2011 by Juliette

Sometimes I’m amused by my inability to NOT notice name badges even while watching shows or movies I am completely caught up in. And I did it again last night.
