DESIGN NAME: RE MAX Daelim
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brochure Kit
INSPIRATION: RE/MAX Daelim briefed on the collateral to be used in their realtors' sales activities. It is a tool for them to build client relationships leading to increased commissions. As a result, the designer co-created their first brochure kit with about 20 realtors who participated. For the brochure, participants contributed original text and photos to publish translated editions. For the file folder, they expressed its need to carry up-to-date listings and contracts for client consultation.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The designer and the realtors applied their expertise and experience in co-creating the collateral brief and deliverables. The bilingual editions are published to reach clients of all socioeconomic, geographic, and national backgrounds. The branded brochure and file folder promote the franchise as a powerhouse brand and the franchisee as a trusted operator. The brochure kit is designed to be all-inclusive, especially in empowering the realtors to perform a wider range of sales tasks.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The brochure kit is primarily used by the realtors for client consultations. With the brochure and file folder designs, they can locate information about their work, track records, and even research for sales purposes. The English edition is used to consult with clients and businesses at home and overseas. These opportunities come from the franchisee networks and client relations to utilize a translated edition as well as a PDF file.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: RE/MAX Daelim launched the brochure kit in South Korea in July 2023. The designer and the realtors participated in its co-creation from March to June 2023.

The brochure is saddle-stitched, finished with spot coating on its cover illustrations, and printed on A4-sized paper, along with the file folder.
