Remarkabull Client Takes Home Major National Industry Award
This September, one of Remarkabull’s long-term clients, Lollipop Print, won Best Publication Project at The Print Industry Awards. As their outsourced marketing team, we couldn’t be prouder of the team and their success. This was the first industry award we worked with Lollipop Print on, and winning it is a well-deserved milestone for the Sussex-based, family-owned printing company.
We’ve been working with Lollipop Print for 18 months, and in that time have worked with the team to strengthen their marketing and have been on quite a journey together, from supporting the launch of a new website, holding events, transforming their online presence and more. The bid to win this award is just one part of the work we’ve done together. It demonstrates what we at Remarkabull, and all of Lollipop Print’s customers, already know: they’re an exceptional business.
From Opportunity to Award-Winning
At Remarkabull, our marketing support is more than audits and content creation. We’re there for everything, including award season.
As regular visitors at Lollipop Print’s Crawley headquarters and having seen the quality of work they do, we had no doubts that they could win an industry award. The business had just gone through a huge period of investment, and had worked on some incredible projects that were just begging to be shared with the world. We’d helped translate this to website content and social media campaigns already.
When we discovered The Print Industry Awards, we considered which category to put Lollipop Print up for. As soon as we saw Best Publication Project, the answer was clear.
Lollipop Print had recently worked with photographer Cory Piehowicz and denim consultancy Endrime to create a museum-quality book with 15 years' worth of research on the history of denim. It's visually captivating, and finished to such a high standard that it has already been taken to exhibitions.
We knew it was a winner, and everyone who had worked on it deserved the recognition for their hard work and creativity. It’s a brilliant example of the work that Lollipop Print can do. The finesse that they work with and the passion for their craft that their team has.
It wasn’t long before our research led us to The Print Industry Awards. A national award of excellence, The Print Industry Awards celebrate the achievements, innovations and talent within the print industry across the country. Their awards strive to highlight the best and brightest in print, digital and visual communications.
With experts who have decades of experience and other applicants who are beasts in the industry, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase Lollipop Print’s success.
A Team Effort
Getting everything together for the award bid was a lot of work and a team effort. We needed to show the judging panel exactly how much work and creativity went into creating WORKER, and that meant going above and beyond a typical award entry.
We worked with the Lollipop Print team to detail the entire complex publication creation process. Endrime were thrilled to be involved, and they sent photos from the launch and a testimonial about both Lollipop Print and the product to strengthen the entry even further. From there, we pulled together short video clips the Lollipop team filmed throughout the printing process; we had footage of everything from the printing machines being set up to the fine art prints being added to the publication. We edited the clips together into a brilliant behind-the-scenes video.
Our submission was ready. Lollipop Print’s hard work, Endrime’s research, and Remarkabull’s marketing excellence came together to create an impeccably detailed account of the work that went into WORKER and the publication's success.
The Best Publication Project Award
The Print Industry Awards recognise outstanding craftsmanship, teamwork and industry success. Among peers, businesses are honoured for their hard work and creativity, as well as their commitment to the little details.
The award Lollipop Print won was designed to recognise outstanding print projects. The judges for this category were specifically looking for:
Exceptional print quality
Strong design and layout
Impeccable attention to detail
Effective use of materials
Overall excellence in production and presentation
WORKER, the project Lollipop Print submitted met all those criteria. It’s a detailed culmination of 15 years of research. The book was printed using only top-quality materials and the best production techniques, including a denim-effect cover and case-bound binding. A collaboration with Endrime and photographer Cory Piehowicz, the product documents the history and evolution of denim. Since its creation, it’s been featured in exhibitions and launches, and is truly a work of art in and of itself.
