Overview
The event collaterals developed for Cartisans’ “Elevate GQ—Gloss Quotient Challenge” reflect a cohesive event branding strategy designed to position the brand as a premium, innovative force in car detailing. Every touchpoint—promo standees, eco carry bags, posters, coupons, brochures, and apparel—works together to reinforce the Cartisans identity and elevate the participant experience.
The strategy centers on communicating expertise, excitement, and aspiration. The campaign theme “Gloss Quotient” highlights the brand’s core promise of transformative car care. Each collateral piece uses “ELEVATE” and “MAKE IT SHINE” as consistent taglines, instilling a sense of challenge and achievement. Discount coupons and takeaways like eco carry bags encourage both participation and brand recall beyond the event itself.
Design Rationale:
Visual Cohesion: A dynamic palette of gloss red, blue, and black runs across all materials, ensuring strong brand recognition. The logo and event insignia are consistently placed for maximum recall.
Automotive Appeal: Imagery and iconography throughout the designs—polished cars, speedometers, and detailing tools—visually narrate the high-performance nature of Cartisans’ services.
Clarity & Impact: Clean layouts and bold typography provide instant readability, whether on a standee from afar or a brochure up close. Key event messages and promotional offers are clearly prioritized in the design hierarchy.
Experiential Touches: The eco carry bag, featuring whimsical illustrations of car detailing scenes, adds a playful and eco-conscious dimension, while branded t-shirts reinforce team spirit and professionalism during the event.
Educational & Promotional Material: The brochure not only outlines the technical process (like ceramic coating steps and variants) but does so in a way that demystifies advanced treatments, making expertise accessible to car enthusiasts and first-time clients alike.
In summary, the strategy and design behind these collaterals elevate the brand presence at the event, create a seamless and memorable participant journey, and foster ongoing engagement with Cartisans’ premium detailing offerings.
