Our activity

We worked in collaboration with our partners, Design by PH, to create ‘blu-3 buzz’, a new quarterly newsletter designed for digital distribution to all employees. blu-3 buzz includes project and site news, employee achievements, HSEQ and CSR updates and a people focus section.

We set out to create an inclusive document for blu-3 staff that blends technical and people-focussed information in a universal easy-read style. blu-3 Buzz was created in line with external design work we had undertaken for blu-3 to create a sense of unity for external and internal communications. 

What our clients say:

If you think PHD couldn’t possibly know your industry as well as you do, think again. They are experts at immersing themselves in the issues that matter to your business. We’re pleased with the work they’ve done to position blu-3 as a thought leader in its field.

Results

In its 12^th edition, blu-3 buzz has proved an effective communication tool for the company for the past three years and counting! Above all, the newsletter demonstrates that it is not simply the latest technology, platform or system that is guaranteed to be the most effective.

For this client, a traditional newsletter, which can be viewed via smartphone over a lunch break or printed out for a site noticeboard, was the right choice as part of a holistic messaging approach. We’re proud to consult with our clients and base our recommendations on our understanding of their unique requirements.
