Campaigns and social
Partial · gaps shown
Campaigns, landing pages and employer branding tell the story of why Aleris exists, and Life images, which show an active everyday life, carry that story.
Parts of this route are not decided yet.
Where a section is missing, the concept pages hold the rules that apply to everything.
Fixed and yours to adapt
Fixed
Campaign messages stay out of care communication
Sales and marketing are never inserted into care or clinical communication.
Museo Sans, or Arial as the fallback, in sentence case
Never another typeface, and never all caps.
The named palette colours and no others
No arbitrary colour, and no "nearly petrol" or slightly lighter orange.
The sender is Aleris
The full logo, symbol and word together, sits in a corner, with no product, unit or specialist-area name added.
The logo is placed as a file
No tool draws it; place it afterwards.
AI-generated images are labelled
Used externally, they carry "illustration" or "AI-generated", and in patient-facing content they stand in for no real person or environment.
In Denmark, written consent for all social media use
Image use across markets follows the Aleris Group Image Guidelines.
No text below 14px or its equivalent, and contrast that meets WCAG AA
That is 4.5:1 for normal text and 3.0:1 for large text.
Yours to adapt
The symbol alone as the design
On a tote bag, a poster or similar, the symbol may stand alone when the full logo is close by: on the other side of the bag, on the material beside it or in the premises where it hangs.
What fills the symbol
Full-colour photography, a petrol gradient, motion graphics or video.
The symbol as a pattern on graphic design, clothing and textiles, where it decorates and the logotype still states the sender
Which corner the logo sits in, most often top left or bottom right
The image by format and country
A poster has a single image that does the whole job, and the faces and environments reflect the clinics people meet in their own country.
Gradients on backgrounds and visual elements
Petrol or orange, two steps at most, with low-contrast transitions that stay in the background.
Voice
A campaign speaks as the Present Expert, like every surface that speaks as Aleris: a peer who wants to help, not a salesperson or an authority that informs. There is no channel where this is optional.
Test each post, poster and headline against one question: does this feel written for me in my situation?
Do
A landing-page heading that says what the reader gets
It goes straight to what the reader is there for.
Don't
A heading built on a slogan or on words of pride about Aleris
It tells the reader nothing about what they get.
Do
A post that begins with the reader and what they need
It starts where the reader is, before anything about the clinic or the department.
Don't
A post headline that ends in an exclamation mark
The warmth sits in having thought through what the reader needs, and an exclamation mark adds none.
Imagery
Life images show what care is aimed at: an active life, community and everyday moments that work. They show the result of care, warm and bright without becoming sentimental, and they are about life rather than about Aleris.
Employer branding shows the work environment and culture, with the employee at the centre.
Do
A person cycling on an ordinary day, as the image on a campaign poster
It shows the result of care, warm and bright without becoming sentimental.
Don't
A campaign image that looks like an advertisement for the outdoors
Life images show an ordinary life that works, not an idealised version of it.
Do
A photographed portrait of a real colleague in a recruitment post
It shows the person as they look in reality.
Don't
An AI-generated portrait of a colleague
Portraits of employees are photographed, so that people can trust the person in the image is the one they meet.
Logo
Before the symbol stands alone as the design, ask whether the reader will meet the full logo close by: on this surface, on its other side, on the material beside it or in the premises around it. If not, and there is room for the wordmark, use the logotype.
Do
The symbol filled with a photograph, large on one side of a tote bag, with the full logo on the other side
The reader meets the full logo on the same bag.
Don't
The symbol with a campaign line set beside it
A symbol carrying text beside it becomes a substitute logotype, at any size.
Do
The symbol as a repeating pattern on clothing, with the logotype where the sender is stated
As a pattern the symbol is context, and the logotype is what identifies.
Don't
The pattern scaled down until it reads as a row of small marks
At that size it stops reading as a texture and starts reading as a mark.
Typography
Give a campaign headline its presence with size and weight: Museo Sans bold 700 at a larger size, or, as an exception, light 300 at 40px and above. Before reaching for black 900, try 700 at a larger size.
The petrol gradient may fill a headline set as h1 or h2, and no other gradient fills text.
Do
A campaign headline in Museo Sans bold at a larger size
Weight and size give the headline presence in the brand typeface.
Don't
A display typeface bought for the campaign headline
Another typeface makes the material look like something other than Aleris.
Do
A poster headline in sentence case
Sentence case holds for a headline as it does for every heading, button and label.
Don't
A poster headline in capital letters
All caps makes the letters uniform, so the eye loses the word shapes that help it read quickly.
Asked about campaigns and social
- ColourCan I use gradients?Yes, sparingly: petrol or orange, two steps at most, on backgrounds and visual elements, never in charts. Only the petrol gradient may fill text, in h1 and h2, and only the petrol gradient may colour an icon, on white, sand or light petrol.
- TypographyWe need an expressive headline, like "thank you for a wonderful year" — which typeface do we use?Museo Sans: for a large headline, bold 700 at a bigger size, or, as an exception, light 300 at 40px and above.
- LogoCan I have an AI tool draw the logo into an image?No: generate the picture, then place the logo file on it in PowerPoint, Canva or a similar tool.
- ImageryWhat do we need before we publish a photo of a patient or a colleague?Consent and rights follow the Aleris Group Image Guidelines. Two things the brand pages add: in Denmark written consent is required for all social media use, and location, camera and time data are stripped from the photo before it is published.
