  • Is an impending merger likely to lead to a rebrand?
  • Are you keen to simplify your communication with more use of video animations?

Ready to work with a design company that applies intelligent thinking to help you reach further and achieve more?

Ask yourself:

  • Does the content of your report stand out from the crowd?
  • Are your reports accessible to the people who matter?
  • Do you know who’s reading them and where they are located?
  • Are you only producing reports in English?
  • Should you be considering other languages?
  • Do you publicise your reports when they’re finished?

Blackwood can help with your corporate reporting and other design projects. Talk to us today to start planning your next project.
