Advatek™ How do you sell products to both businesses and consumers online?

Web design / Ecommerce / Branding / Web development / Copywriting

Look behind some of the world’s best-known and most spectacular shows, installations, exhibitions and events, and the chances are you’ll find an Advatek product driving the magic. Renowned for their reliable, well-built LED controllers, Advatek's flagship products are the high-end choice for professional lighting production companies worldwide. But what many people didn't know was they also sell economy products to hobbyists and home installers.

So the problem Advatek faced was: how do you introduce a range of secondary economy products to a new audience, without compromising their relationship with their professional customers? This was where Function & Form came in. Our task was to design and build a new ecommerce website which catered to both markets and gain worldwide brand awareness.

Blog Hero Graphics were designed to work in multiple formats on the website and when shared on social media.

Software mockups were created to promote Advatek's SaaS product. Advatek were so happy with these, that they have since asked us to re-design the software itself, to match the same level of quality and care we put into the marketing visuals.
