DAS - Alpha Dog Advertising

Understanding a client’s needs and involving them in
the process is at the heart of Alpha Dog Advertising’s
philosophy. Time and time again we help organizations
realize their vision for their brand.
Challenge:
DAS
Create a corporate identity piece that embodies the
brands and attitudes that make up the organizations
selling portfolio.
Summary:
DAS, a distributor and manufacturer of travel related
products and electronics was becoming the leading
player in their business field. With a growing sales force
and no collateral about the organization, each sales rep
was telling their own version of the DAS success story.
The marketing director looked to Alpha Dog Advertising to
help them put together an identity piece that was built on
their four core offerings and would provide a template for
the sales team to build upon during sales calls.
Results:
A design based on the logo itself and showcasing the fast
paced environment that DAS lives and thrives in everyday.
From start to finish the brochure quickly explains the
products and services that make DAS the leading
travel products and electronics supplier to national
travel centers.
