Threesixty scoops its third IDEA design accolade

Threesixty scooped its third Irish Design Effectiveness Awards (IDEA) accolade in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin on November 7th.

One of just two nominations for the Corporate Brand Identity category of these awards, Threesixty was recognised for their rebrand for Nualight, a high-innovation Cork company selling low-energy lighting to global food retailers. According to Paul Kelly, VP Sales & Marketing for Nualight, ‘‘Threesixty’s rebrand has catapulted us onto the world stage. We were not considered to be sufficiently large or specialist to handle very large contracts, but since the rebrand we have landed Europe’s biggest lighting deal for Tesco. We are also now at the negotiating table of 50 of the world’s largest food retailers’’.

The IDEA awards recognise the commercial effectiveness of brand development and Simon O’Dwyer, MD of Threesixty, explained the benefit of their own proprietary process as follows, ‘‘We are first and foremost strategic marketeers and we have a single-minded focus on delivering market growth for our clients. Our process has been developed specially for high-innovation brands, helping them to identify and address the business issues behind successful branding’’. Alongside brand marketing experts, Threesixty’s team includes highly experienced creative designers who have worked on some of the world’s best known brands.

Threesixty won two Gold awards previously in the Brand Identity category of the IDEA awards for two local companies Ormonde Waste & Recycling and Glanbia’s Countrylife stores- consolidating their position as one of Ireland’s leading brand development consultancies. The agency which is based in Gowran, Co. Kilkenny has also won numerous other national and international accolades for its work.
