Why Zone IV?

Experience and trajectory

Having the opportunity to work abroad is always a very enriching experience in several aspects. And specifically what interests us in this case is learning new ways of approaching a creative and strategic design project. After sharing a period of time with the creative teams of great agencies in England, France and Argentina, over time we have acquired know-how, and perfected techniques to define your brand; using tools like “Planche de Tendence” and Concept Boards among others.

Brand builder Zona IV – Creative Builders

ZONA IV was founded in 2002 by Christian Tomas, Nicolas Dubini, Gonzalo Carbonell, and Federico Peraud with the intention of implementing new methods of analysis and development of strategic brand design. With intense work from the agency and the client a brief is developed with the aim of defining concepts, positioning, and strategies to be used during the creative process. These early stages constitute the defining point where ZONA IV brings all it’s experience to guide and determine the real necessities of the client in relation to the creative process; tools like “Planche de Tendence” are the backbone of all communication and will later govern the construction of the new identity.

Planches de Tendence

Using conceptual images, trend plates are built to communicate and construct a shared vision of the most important communication objectives. Color palettes, typography, and other aspects that define the spirit of the identity are all reflected in the plates. They are further refined and analyzed as they take shape through interviews, analysis in order to unify criteria and align objectives. Through years of experience we have used this methodology over and over again with great success with clients like: Tea Connection, Cafe La Esmeralda, “Galletitas Tentaciones” de Bagley, and Tiendas Naturales among others. In each of these projects we have analyzed our client’s challenges and objectives and worked through iterations to arrive at the defining characteristics that are needed to build a successful and timeless brand that will pass the test of time. The flexibility of this process has allowed us to successfully apply it to branding, packaging, communications, and retail.

 

conclusion

Our experience and methodology help our clients transform a creative process into long-term investments and real assetsthat result in a successful brand that passes the test of time.
