Brand Essence
We’re your Engagement Experts
While your clients may come to you for various different products or services, they’re all ultimately pursuing the same thing: engagement. You provide the expert guidance, assets, and support they need to get it.
Often, that means putting together tactile marketing campaigns. But it may also mean delivering excellent print products, or building an e-commerce store that puts high- quality branded items in the hands of their employees and fans.
The point is: everything you do— direct mail, printing, e-commerce— is a means to an end. And that end is audience engagement that enables your clients to build trust, drive interest, and inspire action in their prospective audiences.
Brand Positioning Statement
Trusted by some of the most innovative brands in America, Tactive helps marketers develop and deploy multi-sensory marketing campaigns that engage audiences and drive ROI.
Brand Pillars
Engagement is our expertise – Everything we do, every single day, serves a larger goal: To help our clients achieve engagement with target audiences in an increasingly distracted world
People are our purpose – We are, above all else, a human brand. Both within our walls and in our relationships with clients, we lead with empathy, kindness, and respect.
Trust is our top priority – We are true to our word, no matter what. If we say it’ll be done by Tuesday, it will. If we say it won’t, that’s because we prize honesty over telling clients what they want to hear.
Quality is our conviction – National and global companies trust us with their brands because they know we will meet their high standards every time, no matter what.
Service is our secret weapon – We have a “do whatever it takes” credo when it comes to meeting client needs. Our fierce commitment to client service is the secret to our success.
Visual Identity System
The primary logo is critically important, as it acts both as an identifier and a visual representation of the brand. It is, and should always be, the most consistent component in your visual communications. In order to maintain that consistency, it should always be used in accordance with the examples and rules outlined in this guide.
NOTE: The logo should never be recreated or typeset. Only official logo files should be used in communications.
This version is identical to our primary logo, but includes our company tagline. It can be used in marketing and communication materials at your discretion.
The Tactive “T” combined with our logomark provides an option that can be used in situations when the full identity of the brand isn’t needed, or where space limits your ability to use the primary logo. For example, it can be used as a social media icon, on brand merchandise, on company envelopes, etc.
Do’s & Don’ts
CLEAR SPACE – The clear space has been established to ensure logo visibility and impact. Maintaining the clear space zone between the logo and other graphic elements such as type, images, other logos, etc. ensures that the logo always appears unobstructed and distinctly separate from any other graphic elements.
Never use the Color version of the logo on top of a color background. Color Reverse or White are acceptable options.
Never change the proportion of logomark to logotype. Please see our logos above for acceptable logo variations.
Never change the location of the logomark in relation to the full wordmark.
