RIGHTSLEEVE wins Image Award for Mesh Conference Swag!
We have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with the founders of the Mesh Conference (Stuart, Rob, Mike, Mark and Mathew) since they launched “Canada’s Web 2.0 Conference” five years ago. When I think about the most interesting promotions we have designed in our company’s history, the ones that stand out are those where a unique partnership exists between us and the client.
When done right, people love swag … especially at tech events like Mesh. It can shape a delegate’s experience of the conference as well as provide a great first impression. Who doesn’t like to be welcomed to an event with a well designed gift, particularly one that will have value long after the event?
Well, coming up with branded merchandise that will impress a discerning crowd is a daunting (though fun) task. With plenty of input from the Mesh team, we designed a survival kit to welcome attendees. Items ranged from the practical (peppermint gum) to the fun (poetry magnets) to the cheeky (condoms). Practical, fun, cheeky – exactly the makeup of this crowd. In addition to the survival kit, we produced T-shirts (that fit women too!), uniforms for the staff and scarves for the speakers.
After 5 years of designing swag for the Mesh team, we entered the 2009 merchandise into two industry award competitions – Image Awards (Canada) and Pyramid Awards (US). This past week, we won the Image Award for Canada and we were a finalist in the US competition.
A very special thank you to the Mesh team for being such a fun and creative group to work with. Now on to #mesh10!
