Z-CARD^® Africa, Middle East, India and Turkey (ZAMI) launched Z-CARD^® Kenya as its PocketMedia^® hub for East Africa in October 2011, after entering into a distributor agreement with Kenya-based Ramco Printing Works Ltd.

"All of the Z-CARD^® formats, as well as other innovative forms of PocketMedia^®, are already on offer by Z-CARD^® Kenya. These range from the Star Fold and Flip Window to Unidentified Folding Objects, dispensers, plastic loyalty or medical aid cards and die cut covers," says Patel.

The power of brand slogans

In marketing, language is an important tool, and when it is used in a strategic manner it can have a meaning that shapes ideas and sticks in your memory. This can, in turn, create a meaning that can be so powerful that it can capture an audience for a lifetime.

Designing the perfect brand logo
