The one-year countdown to LIFTEX 2019 begins!

00Blog

It is officially one year until LIFTEX 2019, the UK’s biggest and only exhibition for the lift, escalator and access industry which is held once every three years at ExCel London. For lift companies and those who manufacture for the industry, LIFTEX gives a grand opportunity to showcase their lift products to potential buyers as well as building a rapport with them.

During the previous LIFTEX exhibitions, Austin Marketing has had the pleasure of working with several of our lift industry clients helping with exhibition stands, product catalogues, brochures and video presentations.

We are looking forward to producing new and effective promotional material for our lift clients at yet another LIFTEX exhibition.

 

Introducing PANTONE®‘s Colour of the Year 2018

00Blog

New Year, new colour! Give an official 2018 welcome to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, Colour of the Year.

“The Pantone Colour of the Year has come to mean so much more than ‘what’s trending’ in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today” – Laurie Pressman, Vice President of PANTONE® Colour Institution.

Pantone has really pulled it off with the Colour of the Year 2018. Austin Marketing, always ahead of the curve, had chosen to paint the studio this purple shade a few years back, to inspire us here on the top floor of the agency. Now we’re finally a trend!

Mysterious purples are known to strongly embody counterculture, originality and artistic genius. PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet also represents experimentation and non-conformity while it also pushes boundaries through creative outlets.
