Drezier Communications

Drezier Communications (hereinafter ‘Drezier’; pronounces as ‘dre-zee-er’ ) is an edgy yet savvy branding and design studio in Hong Kong. Dedicated to holistic branding plus high-style communication arts, Drezier provides multi-discipline creative and design services, from conception to implementation seamlessly. Besides we administer outside-the-box responsive strategies. Above all, we craft problem-solving bespoke deliverables.

Drezier Communications is a tiny design studio based in a small place called Hong Kong. But we are willing to stretch outward. For instance, we have already attained recognition in many international awards. Drezier always wants to try different projects, just like many other design studios. Similarly, we also target to advance ourselves in aesthetics. In Hong Kong, no difference to the world, we are now converging our efforts in corporate social responsibility. In a board sense, aesthetics is to build a better world.

 

Hong Kong Design Studio – Branding & Re-branding

Founded in 2005, Drezier Communications was already a reformist design studio. Gradually, we engaged ourselves in the fashion industry of Hong Kong. We tailor our branding deliverables in style and projects of imaging with flair, adapting to environments as well as constraints. In 2007, we extended our hands further to New York and other cities. At present, Drezier has already branded or re-branded tens of brands, mostly in fashion retailing, based in Hong Kong, Greater New York and many other places.

From 2016 onward, Drezier relocates permanently our design studio back to our base and lovely hometown, Hong Kong. We pledge to help the local – solely and wholeheartedly.

How to Brand – Sum of Communication Arts

Truly bespoke, no favourite design style or standard tactics is repeatedly applied. In the other words, Drezier undertakes a necessary course of action to understand, to derive, to rethink, to implement and to sustain accomplishing assignment especially branding project.

01. | Understanding

Drezier will study fundamentally deep into the external atmosphere moreover internal environments, offline and online. Global trends, such as omnichannel in retailing, sustainability in environmental concerns, or even triple-bottom-line in corporate social responsibilities (CSR), are consolidated from primary insight into our inspiration.

02. | Derivation

Further on deriving inspirational deliverables, Drezier believes brainwork is authentic. Above all, insight is the essence. Devoted to multiple art of conception and articulation, extensive thorough branding of a corporate or a brand (from vision, philosophy, DNA, culture, persona, positioning & tagline, image direction to marketing) is comprehensively masterminded, not purely designing identities. Truthfully, this articulation interprets holistic branding, genuine branding in modern days. On that account, we endeavour to shape or revamp brands savvier for tomorrow. Still, Drezier starts drafting creative works in this step.

03. | Rethink

Rethink is as well critical. Cooling down from being too focused is a must. Drezier would pause crafting the project and resume later. By then, we will reinvigorate workmanship. Or uplift our proposition. Even re-examine our inaugurated objective. Perseveringly, we would rethink and refine deliverables towards a more appealing impression and superb calibre of the brand.

04. | Implementation

True to branding implementation, Drezier will fine-tune artistic direction and creativity into true exquisiteness. So this applies to all tasks ranging from styling to art-direction, from pixellated to spatial design, from retailing to environmental touchpoints. Inevitably, we embody refined modernity and intellectual liveliness into a commissioned brand to cope adversities of the future.

05. | Sustainment

Naturally, Drezier would create deliverables to sustain the brand. Meanwhile, we try our best to consider the sustainability of our society as well as the environment at the same time.

All in all, we tailor brands dressier along with social concerns. Still the Planet matters.
