Libretto writes India brochure for FedEx

BOSTON, November 30, 2007 – Libretto is pleased to announce the completion of a 12-page brochure for FedEx. Created with design partner Tank, the brochure serves as a reference guide for US-based companies that ship to and from India. It includes factual data on India’s industries, population, and key economic regions, tips on doing business with Indian associates, and practical information about FedEx’s India-specific shipping capabilities.

Libretto worked closely with Tank to conduct research on India and gather critical information from existing FedEx materials. The result is a highly informative and visually attractive piece that succinctly relays the advantages of doing business in India with FedEx. “This project brought Libretto together with two companies we highly respect,” comments lead writer Alison Case. “Tank did an incredible job as project manager and designer. We’re thrilled with the way this piece turned out.”

Tank and Libretto are currently working together on a multi-phased email marketing campaign for fedex.com. The campaign informs fedex.com users about ongoing improvements made to the FedEx website, including streamlined shipment procedures and the addition of mapping capabilities.

Libretto completes website for FP3, Fort Point's newest residential option

BOSTON, November 28, 2007 – Libretto has completed the information architecture, Web content, and promotional writing for FP3, a stylish new residential choice in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood. Conceived by developer Berkeley Investments and designed by architect/designer David Hacin, FP3 comprises 97 distinct residences ranging from loft-style apartments to luxury penthouses. The building also features new restaurant and retail establishments created by renowned chef Barbara Lynch.

The FP3 website (www.fp3boston.com) was the final component of a year-long marketing endeavor for FP3, in which Libretto named the building, wrote several key pieces of collateral, and helped craft advertisements that have appeared in The Boston Globe, Boston Homes, and Boston Common. Developed in conjunction with the graphic design firm whydesignworks, the print and Web pieces form a consistent, distinct, and memorable brand image for the new residence.

Over the course of the project, Libretto collaborated extensively with the marketing team assembled by Berkeley Investments, which, in addition to Hacin, Lynch, and whydesignworks, included marketing consultant John Neale of Sprogis Neale and Web developer Boston Logic. “This project required close collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders, and an intimate understanding of the vision behind FP3,” says Neal Kane, president of Libretto. “We’re thrilled to have had the chance to work with such a talented and diverse group of professionals, and to have contributed to the success this exciting project.”
