New Corporate Identity

The superb Canadian designer Irene Pau has created and established a new corporate identity BPA:

It uses a fox as an image because I have always respected how the fox can adapt to its surroundings. This is a key trait for successful marketing and business plans which need to adapt to changing business conditions.

BPA was set up to help companies grow profitably by developing integrated marketing and communications plans use all aspects of the marketing mix.
