Business Innovation Award

I hope you had a relaxing, recharging summer and productive time. I just thought that I would say hello. And thank everyone for all your kind and supportive words, these have touched me and were totally unexpected.

This award has been fun, totally unexpected and no dinner ceremony which would have cost thousands, but as it is Cheshire, I asked my friend and colleague to do this image of me at the top of a hill with the fantastic area of Cheshire behind me, before the green grass turned brown. What a great place to live and work! Thank you to all my clients, associates and friends.

Based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, Fox Graphics Design & Marketing supports a range of clients, helping them to grow and become more visual in their professional arena. We spoke to Creative Director Kate Fox to learn more about the firm’s work and her pride in the success it has achieved.

Since its inception in 2008 Fox Graphics Design has worked hard to achieve success, working closely with its clients so that they can focus on their business and clients, safe in the knowledge that their branding, marketing and design needs are all met. It is Kate’s vast experience in the industry and commitment to excellence for her valued clients, that ensures that they keep coming back for more, as we found out.

“Through my work at Fox Graphic Design, I help ambitious business owners grow their business, and make sure their customers see them in their best light. To achieve this, I draw on my years of knowledge and experience to create branding and visuals that convey the right messages to the right people, help you plan and execute your marketing campaigns, all while letting our clients do what they do best; run their company. We can take care of everything from branding a clients’ company, to creating a stand out exhibition display, to even managing their marketing from beginning to end.

“Whatever project they ask us to undertake, when working with our clients we listen continually so that we can understand the client’s needs. By taking the time to gain an insight and develop strategic design solutions we are able to help their business grow and thrive. We can help companies enhance and expand their image/message and take them into new markets while consolidating their position on all media platforms alongside traditional methods.”

With regards to the future, it is Kate’s belief that her firm will continue to expand and enhance its offering over the coming years, using its current achievements as a springboard from which to launch itself into the global market, as she proudly concludes.

“As we look ahead, our plans are to develop Fox Graphics Design by adding adventurous decision makers that are driven to success in their fields to our already exceptional team.

Follow the Fox!

Follow the Fox….using animation, typography, branding, colour and creativity + upbeat music, we have created and executed this fantastic fresh, classy, contemporary and cutting edge visual communication!

View animation here please!

We have launched our new animation branding, to demonstrate that within 45 seconds businesses can communicate and engage globally. The visual imagery and core messages, including what people say about the company are communicated in a easy to digest visual method whilst reinforcing the brand with contact details for the website and social media icons.

Whilst relaxing drinking a coffee or on the move in the increasingly busy technological noise in business, we hope that this puts a spring in your step and a smile in a busy working day!

Guillaume Apollinaire (French: [ɡijom apɔlinɛʁ]; 26 August 1880 – 9 November 1918) was a French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic of Polish descent.

Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century, as well as one of the most impassioned defenders of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. He is credited with coining the term “cubism” in 1911 to describe the emerging art movement and the term “surrealism” in 1917 to describe the works of Erik Satie. The term Orphism (1912) is also his. Apollinaire wrote one of the earliest Surrealist literary works, the play The Breasts of Tiresias (1917), which became the basis for the 1947 opera Les mamelles de Tirésias.

Two years after being wounded in World War I, Apollinaire died in the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918; he was 38.

Calligrammes:Poems of Peace and War 1913-1916, is a collection of poems by Guillaume Apollinaire which was first published in 1918 (see 1918 in poetry). Calligrammes is noted for how the typeface and spatial arrangement of the words on a page plays just as much of a role in the meaning of each poem as the words themselves – a form called a calligram. In this sense, the collection can be seen as either concrete poetry or visual poetry. Apollinaire described his work as follows:

The Calligrammes are an idealisation of free verse poetry and typographical precision in an era when typography is reaching a brilliant end to its career, at the dawn of the new means of reproduction that are the cinema and the phonograph. (Guillaume Apollinaire, in a letter to André Billy)^[2]

Supporting ‘Prevent Breast Cancer’ charity

Prevent Breast Cancer, our purpose is in our name.

Our little pebble in the pond!

Fox Graphics Design & Marketing has for many years promoted charities through business, instead of giving our time for free or money, we have felt that supporting and helping to raise awareness within the business community of chosen charities is more effective and has been proven so, with our first charity many years ago – KidsCan, see the story here! and how the ripples on the pond kept going.

The reason we have chosen this charity to go on Kate’s cards is that she lost a friend 18 months ago to Breast Cancer and it was awful because although detected early she unfortunately had the one type that was not curable. She also has many happy friends that have been lucky enough to survive this, by early diagnosis.

If you would also like to do this, please get in touch as Kate will prepare the artwork free of charge.

Predict. Prevent. Protect. You could call it our mantra.

As the only UK charity entirely dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer, we’re committed to freeing the world from the disease altogether. Unlike many cancer charities, we’re focused on preventing, rather than curing. Promoting early diagnosis, screening and lifestyle changes, we believe we can stop the problem before it starts. And being situated at the only breast cancer prevention centre in the UK, we’re right at the front-line in the fight against the disease.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is simple: to create a future free from breast cancer, where there is no before or after diagnosis. And thanks to better predictive tools and early intervention, we truly believe that for future generations, breast cancer will be a thing of the past. This means acting now, to help more people live a life that’s free from the disease. It means funding research aimed solely at preventing breast cancer. And it means creating a world where thousands of people are spared from ever experiencing the pain and suffering it causes. Put simply, our purpose is in our name.

We Predict – by identifying who is at risk of breast cancer.
We Prevent – by offering preventative interventions, to stop breast cancer before it starts.
We Protect – by shielding future generations from breast cancer.

Registered Charity Number 1109839, Prevent Breast Cancer, Registered in England No: 4831397

Exerts from previous blog about how this works well with charities –

‘It’s not an advert – it’s a dedicated space,’ Kate explains. ‘We wanted it to have the right message, which isn’t about us being great, it’s about raising the profile of this charity.’

The actions of Fox Graphics demonstrate the way in which any business can help a charity, regardless of money, if they choose to think in a very open-minded way.
The exposure that Fox Graphics generated for KidsCan enabled people to see not only the good that KidsCan was doing, but also the good that Fox Graphics was doing.

‘It was a pebble in the pond and the ripples were unbelievable,’ Kate explains. ‘I did it to help them, not thinking it would help me!’

At networking events it became the perfect icebreaker, stimulating conversation as people wanted to find out more about the charity and the reasoning behind Kate’s decision to help them. Kate believes that her business was highly regarded for the values it showed through its connection with a charity. Fox Graphics was shown to be run by decent people, people that others wanted to do business with.
