Advertising design for Glasgow and Renfrewshire
Plenty of businesses pay for advertising space and then let the publication design the ad for free. It usually shows, and it usually doesn’t work. Advertising works when there’s a little idea, a plan and a design that makes people stop.

Have an idea, then plan
There are many forms of advertising, from traditional newspapers and magazines to online formats and social media. The ones that work have a single clear idea and run long enough for people to notice them. We help you decide what to say, where to say it and how often.
Designed to be seen in seconds
A poster in a shop window or an advert in a trade magazine gets a glance, not a read. We keep messages simple and straight to the point, often with a little humour, and use professional photography so your ads look the part.
Advertising projects.
A few of the projects where this was part of the job.
From the archive.

Optimize Financial Solutions
Window posters for a local IFA near Paisley High Street, using keywords like ‘Protection’, ‘Deflated’ and ‘Release’ with a strong illustrative style. We also designed and produced their shop signage.

Elderslie Golf Club
Posters and leaflets promoting weekly and monthly events to the whole membership.

Wallace Family Bakers
Advertising design.
From the people we did it for.
Working in the bakery industry we need to be reactive on a daily basis 24/7. After working with numerous local agencies we found CO2 Design best suits our needs. They are a great problem solving company who fully understand our market and ever changing industry.
Advertising: your questions.
Can you design an advert to a publication’s specification?
Yes. Send us the size and format from the publication and we’ll supply print-ready or digital artwork.
Do you plan campaigns or just design the ads?
Both. We can help you decide what to say, where and when, then design everything the campaign needs.
