Canon reinforces power of print with multichannel approach at Sign & Digital UK

Over the three days of the show, Elemental campaign assets will showcase the range of print technology, digital capabilities and marketing knowledge Canon can offer print service providers when working with real brands. They illustrate how a PSP can facilitate and deliver a complete campaign, from advertising and direct mail to raise initial brand awareness, through instore promotions and exclusive events in the retail space, all the way to purchase and the unboxing experience.
Wayne Barlow, Head of Graphics and Communications, Canon UK, comments: “Sign & Digital UK will be an important platform for us to demonstrate how, using the latest digital print technology, a brand is able to use data to tailor communications and fine-tune campaign messages to achieve maximum effectiveness when targeting potential customers. Prints advantage over digital communication is its visual and tactile impact and the emotional pull of receiving a personalised piece of mail.
“The Elemental brand illustrates how a multi-touchpoint product launch campaign across multiple channels can be delivered or supported by a PSP or in-house print department for a premium brand owner. Visit our stand to see the bigger picture; youre sure to be inspired.”
