Dear Michelle,
We are pleased to submit our qualifications compendium for your consideration. We hope that the capabilities it contains will
be to your satisfaction.
We are a small but robust company with broad and diverse experience. After a satisfying career as a creative director for
several agencies, I opened the company in 2003 to have more creative control and to develop a business model that would
be efficient and centered in creative problem solving.
Our experiment has paid off with a solid reputation of great work, loyal clients and a very large playground across the US,
Canada and the Caribbean.
The sample work we have included in this document was chosen for relevance to your interests. I look forward to meeting
with you and your executive committee to discuss how we may serve as your creative partner.
Sincerely,
Todd Mayfield, Principal

Introduction
Axia Creative is an award-winning visual communications company specializing in branding, advertising and wayfinding for city, corporate and retail markets. Formerly known as Mayfield Creative, the company was incorporated in 2003. Axia’s office is located in West Palm Beach (Wellington), Florida with a client base that covers the entire US, parts of Canada and over 19 Caribbean territories.
Branding represents 50% of Axia’s annual project activity supported by a full suite of visual communications such as identity packages, promotional collateral, annual reports, print and digital advertising, web media, product packaging, projected presentations, storefronts, trade show display, fleet marking and motion graphics. 40% is dedicated to signage and wayfinding and another 10% is spent on interpretive graphics and illustration.
We maintain a core staff of 6 people with several freelance professionals who we use for specialized assignments or if our project load requires additional hands.
Axia demonstrates a unique set of skills that are combined to provide highly successful branded and identity solutions for a wide range of industries including manufacturing, retail, civic, institutional, insurance, hospitality and event marketing.
Axia is like an orchestra. We combine many instruments to make beautiful music. The many components of a company’s visual communications must be in harmony with one another to maintain brand consistency, credibility in the marketplace and an elevated image of success.
Our Strength
Our strength comes, in part, from the trusted relationships we establish with our clients and strategic partners. Our success record of integrating successful branded experiences into highly functional communications has given us an outstanding reputation and the satisfaction of knowing we actually make a difference!
Axia’s focus is on combining high level design execution with intelligent strategy. This sets us part from many competitors. We’re not interested in remarkable growth of our company, but we are interested in providing remarkable results for our clients.
Axia is a very solvent and secure company. We are of modest size but do big work. Our reputation and passion for our craft has resulted in a consistent project workload since our conception in 2003. Even when the US economy was at its lowest, Axia remained busy and never without work. Every year we have increased our revenue on an average of 23%. We accomplish this by listening to our clients, involving them in the process, knowing their business intimately and understanding their goals.

NAGICO Insurance
NAGICO Insurance is the premier insurance provider in the Caribbean. Their headquarters are in Dutch St. Maarten with offices in more than 19 Caribbean Territories.
In 2009, we were asked by NAGICO to help launch their new, free roadside assistance program. We developed a product identity, print advertising, animated TV spots, policy collateral and fleet graphics. We developed an animated spokesman named “Nagi” who appeared on all of their promotional media.
After the successful launch we were given a new challenge. NAGICO’s CEO asked us to give their existing brand a face-lift. The company had grown into a Caribbean wide corporation and was starting to compete with both European and American insurance providers with multi-million marketing budgets and well-known brands.
9Axia Creative | Qualifications Compendium for Biomet 3i
Before NAGICO engaged Axia, they used the above two logos independently. The company maintained a three color palette in their printed collateral with an emphasis on green. Because the company had strong brand recognition in the Caribbean, we suggested they enhance rather than change their brand visuals.
We simplified and united the two logos into a single brandmark, refined the typography and streamlined the umbrella. We introduced a warmer version of the green. The gold remained unchanged but we recommended that it be used sparingly. The use of black was restricted to headlines and body text. A light, vivid apple green was added to freshen up the palette and to appeal to a broader market. Sky blue was introduced through photography but not as an official corporate color.
For nearly 10 years, NAGICO has used “We’ve Got You Covered” as their tagline. Since our involvement with the company, we have maintained that it should change. We demonstrated that at least 20 other companies are using or have used the same tagline and that it was not performing as a true differentiator. In May of 2012, the CEO finally agreed that the process to develop a new tagline should begin as soon as possible.
Before we could arrive at a tagline that would perform well for NAGICO, the existing brand had to be examined and updated. Per our recommendation, we began the process. After studying NAGICO’s success history, their target markets and potential competition, we developed three brand concepts:
Forward Thinking – NAGICO is a progressive, adaptable and innovative company, anticipating the future in the development of new products, creation of systems to facilitate the business, use of technology or moving into new markets.
Responsive – NAGICO is responsive to its markets, whether it is in quick claim settlement, quality customer service, flexible policy development, new product creation, providing care and compassion in difficult times. NAGICO is always there for their customers
Financially Strong – NAGICO’s financial stability is a result of responsible management, operational discipline, and strong, consistent company standards.
NATIONAL GENERAL INSURANCE CORPORATION N.V.
10Axia Creative | Qualifications Compendium for Biomet 3i
The approved brand direction was a combination of the second and third concepts- Responsive and Financially Strong. Historically, NAGICO’s dedication to their customers has always set them apart from their competitors. In 1995 Hurricane Luis devastated several Caribbean territories. The destruction was so extreme, most insurers could not settle the massive claims. NAGICO, like many other insurance companies were faced with financial ruin. Despite possible bankruptcy, they found a way to satisfy their customers’ claims when others could not.
The Resulting Brand Promise“NAGICO Insurance is a financially strong and innovative insurance provider leading the insurance industry in the Caribbean. At NAGICO we provide our customer with exceptional value through our competitive and flexible products, expertise and responsive service offered throughout our regional network of branch offices, agents and brokers in the Caribbean and future markets. The NAGICO experience is shaped by the many cultures of the Caribbean, which enhances the quality of life for our customers and the communities in which they live.This is the NAGICO Way.”
After dozens of taglines were explored, a final concept was adopted and introduced in late 2013.
A 64 page Style Guide was produced to control brand interpretation by internal staff, media houses and third party vendors.

Corporate Brochures
The corporate brochure is intended for
business to business communications. It
should be clean, to-the-point and highly
professional. The reader should be able to
grasp who NAGICO is, where they came
from and where they are going.
Just as importantly, the brand must be
promoted.Since a corporate brochure will be
deliberately presented to a recipient and
not necessarily displayed in an open
environment, it is not important for the
full NAGICO Brandmark to be shown on
the front cover. At minimum, the isolated
umbrella should be visible though.
The full NAGICO Brandmark must be
included on the fi rst inside page, the back
panel and at least once again on one of
the inside pages.The fi nished size may vary depending on
how it will be used or packaged.
The paper stock should be at least a white
100 lb. gloss cover stock.

Corporate BrochuresCorporate brochures were designed to support NAGICO’s entrance into new territories. Each brochure was designed with market specific information and imagery.
In February of 2013, we designed NAGICO’s first formal Annual Report. We are currently designing this year’s report due for release in March 2014.
30YEARS
A LOOK AT OUR PAST The history of NAGICO is an amazing story of vision and perseverance. Founded in St. Maarten on February 1, 1982 by a small group of local businessmen and guided by the philosophy that impeccable customer service, careful selection of risk, strategic use of reinsurance and fast and fair claims settlement, NAGICO has been catapulted from a start-up into the mainstream.
By the time Hurricane Luis landed thirteen years later, NAGICO had already expanded into Anguilla, Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Montserrat. Five other storms would hit St. Maarten and the surrounding islands in the 1990s, wreaking unimaginable destruction. Combined, our claim payouts surpassed USD200,000,000.
OUR PRESENT OUTLOOKBolstered by our experiences and successes, NAGICO launched into a program of strategic expansion throughout the region, a well-thought-out plan to ‘spread the risk’. We now operate in 14 islands and have premium income of over USD85,000,000 and the best catastrophe reinsurance protection plan in the region.
Highly rated by international rating agency – AM Best, NAGICO continues to invest heavily in our people and we boast an exceptional Team of highly-qualified, knowledgeable Executives, Management and Staff.
A huge part of our success is based on our proactive, innovative corporate culture. NAGICO’s custom-built insurance management software (IMS), Insurance Pro 2.0, is a prime example. Developed with latest in cutting-edge Microsoft
technology, Insurance Pro allows us to deliver the fastest turn-around time to our customers and manage and monitor the many moving parts of our operation while seamlessly extending the same support and capabilities to our many agents and brokers.
This year, in an effort to guarantee better service and efficiency, we’ve created ‘Centers of Excellence’ – strategic groupings of NAGICO islands based on geographical proximity. We’ve assigned direct responsibility for these six COEs to various Executives tasking them to guarantee all-round ‘Excellence’.
A LOOK TO OUR FUTURE2012 marks NAGICO’s 30th year in business. We’re proud that NAGICO has, in such a relatively short space of time, become a leader in Caribbean insurance. The expansion continues. In keeping
with our driving focus to become the leading general insurance company in the Caribbean, NAGICO is seeking to expand into the southern and western Caribbean in the short- to medium-term through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth.
Another growth area for NAGICO is the Group Life and Health business. We’re steadily expanding this line, offering our outstanding NAGICARE policy to more and more markets.
At NAGICO, we believe that our future is bright.
ST. LUCIA
Six years ago, a team from NAGICO’s headquarters came to St. Lucia. The task: to establish NAGICO on the island.
Two-and-a-half years ago, we began the licensing process and in February 2011 we were registered as an Insurer. NAGICO’s fixation on St. Lucia is strategic.
The largest, most populous island in the OECS subgroup, St. Lucia’s sizeable, insurance-savvy market and its pivotal position in the region make it very attractive to us. Apart from that, St. Lucia can and will serve as a crucial base of operations for expansion into the other neighboring island-territories.

Print Advertising
In the 5 years we have been NAGICO’s creative agency, we have produced dozens of comprehensive ad campaigns which amount to hundreds of individual ads for newspapers, magazines and event publications.
A current ongoing campaign is published in an in-flight magazine for LIAT Airlines which links Trinidad with the rest of the Caribbean.

Corporate Website
We built a massive website for NAGICO. Since all of their 19 territories have unique markets, product offerings and regulatory agencies, we needed to create 19 mirrored websites that appear as one. Nagico.com opens up a landing page with links to each territory. When a specific link is selected, a home page for that territory opens.The site includes product information, local agent contact information, online claim forms, newsletter sign up and many valuable tools that encourage the use of the website.

Best Sign Systems
Best Sign Systems is a US manufacturer of proven architectural signage products that have been consistently specified by architects for more than 40 years and is represented by more than 200 sign companies worldwide. The company was founded in 1924 and has plants in Montrose, Colorado and Amarillo, Texas.
Steve Savoy, the sole proprietor of the company, contracted with Axia to completely rebrand the company, redesign their product catalogues, create new print advertising, build a new website and help design new product lines.
The new logo is effectively a wordmark with the “t” in “Best” redrawn as an upturned arrow to symbolize upward movement. It also supports the “best-in-the-industry” theme. The use of an iconic arrow is a display of a common graphic found on directional signage. Dimensional versions of the logo were rendered to represent acrylic material also a prominent material used in sign fabrication.
The corporate colors were changed from maroon and grey to black, blue and grey.

Hansgrohe
Hansgrohe is a German manufacturer of fine faucets, shower heads and fixtures. They have subsidiaries around the world. In 1996, Hansgrohe opened a plant in Alpharetta Georgia. In 2003, they launched a new product line called Retroaktiv. Axia was approached by a small start-up marketing team, Steele Plus, who was pitching the account. They had no creative staff at the time. The task was to create sub-branded materials to market the new product line in the US. Axia proposed that a retro theme be used to support the “Retroaktiv” line. Several concepts lead to the development of the sub brand “Past Forward”.
