JBS - Creating Brand Impact with Illuminated Centerpieces

The Challenge

JBS's HR team in Ottumwa, Iowa was stuck. They wanted to add some branded flair to their office spaces, but every solution they found meant calling in contractors or dealing with complicated installations. What they really needed? Something they could just plug in and go - no electricians, no mounting brackets, no headaches.

Why Lightboxes?

Illuminated displays offered the perfect portable branding solution with key advantages:

  • Wireless operation with 8-hour battery life - finally, no more outlet hunting
  • 16 different colors with a simple remote - change the vibe anytime
  • Built tough with a premium feel - not some cheap plastic thing
  • Put them anywhere you want - meeting rooms, lobbies, wherever
  • Clean logo customization that actually looks professional

From Concept to Reality

The whole process was pretty straightforward. The HR team sent over their logo through our online form, and we whipped up some mockups showing how it would look on the egg-shaped lights. They loved what they saw and went with the 14-inch size - big enough to make an impact but not so huge they'd dominate the room.

Once they gave us the green light, we had their custom lights ready in just seven business days. A couple days later, everything showed up at their door in Ottumwa, ready to go. No assembly required, no instruction manual to decipher - just unpack and turn on.

The Impact

Meeting room looking a little generic? Drop in a couple of lights. Big presentation coming up? Set them to the company colors. Client visit? Switch to something more understated that still looks professional.

The HR team loved how simple it was to completely change the vibe of a room. During employee events, they'd crank up the colors to create energy. For client meetings, they'd dial it back to more subtle tones. The remote control made it dead simple - no fumbling around with complicated settings or anything like that.

Standing Out 

Let's be honest - most office spaces look pretty much the same. Beige walls, standard furniture, maybe a company poster if you're lucky. They wanted something different, and these lights delivered. The egg shape was a smart choice too - professional enough for the corporate world but interesting enough that clients would actually notice them.

Instead of blending into the background like typical office decor, these displays actually gave the place some personality. Visitors would ask about them, which was the perfect ice-breaker for the team to start talking about the company. Way better than awkward small talk about the weather.

FAQ

What types of office situations work best with illuminated branded displays?

These work exceptionally well for client meetings, employee events, office presentations, reception areas, and workplace celebrations where you need flexible branded atmosphere. Just like the JBS HR team in this case study, they're perfect when you want to add professional branded flair without calling contractors or dealing with permanent installations. HR events, all-hands meetings, client visits, and team gatherings especially benefit because you can instantly transform generic office spaces into branded, engaging environments.

Why does avoiding installation and electrical work matter for office environments?

Office spaces often have strict building management rules, lease restrictions, or IT policies that make permanent installations complicated and expensive. Contractor work requires approvals, scheduling around business operations, and potential disruption to daily workflows. Battery-powered displays eliminate these hassles entirely - no electricians, mounting brackets, or facilities coordination needed. This simplicity is crucial for HR teams and office managers who need solutions that work immediately without bureaucratic complications.

How do these help adapt office spaces for different types of business meetings?

Office environments need to serve multiple functions - formal client presentations, casual team meetings, employee celebrations, and executive briefings all require different atmospheres. The remote-controlled color options let you instantly adapt the same space for different audiences and occasions. Dial up energetic colors for employee events, switch to subtle corporate tones for client meetings, or use brand colors for presentations - all without rearranging furniture or changing decor.

What makes the egg shape particularly effective for professional office settings?

The egg shape strikes the perfect balance between professional sophistication and visual interest that corporate environments require. It's distinctive enough to catch attention and start conversations without being so unusual that it seems unprofessional or gimmicky. Unlike harsh geometric shapes that might feel too industrial, or overly decorative items that seem unprofessional, the curved egg design fits naturally in corporate settings while still giving spaces a genuine personality and branded presence.

How do color-changing capabilities enhance different office interactions.

Different business situations benefit from different atmospheric approaches. Use steady corporate brand colors during formal presentations to reinforce company identity, switch to warmer tones for casual team meetings to encourage collaboration, or create energetic color displays during employee recognition events. The ability to adapt instantly means your office spaces can support various business objectives without requiring separate branded materials for different occasions.

How do illuminated displays compare to traditional office decor for brand impact?

Traditional office decor - company posters, static signage, standard furniture - typically blends into the background and becomes invisible after a few days. Illuminated displays maintain visual interest and naturally draw attention, making your branding an active part of every office interaction rather than an ignorable background decoration. They also serve as natural conversation starters that help break the ice during client visits or networking situations, turning awkward small talk into genuine business discussions.

Is the investment worth it for ongoing office branding needs?

For offices that regularly host clients, conduct presentations, or hold employee events, the versatility and professional impact often justify the investment quickly. Unlike printed materials or traditional office art that need periodic replacement, these displays provide years of use across countless different office situations. Many HR teams and office managers find that they enhance both client relationships and employee engagement, contributing to business development and workplace satisfaction simultaneously.

What's the impact on client first impressions and business relationship building?

Generic office spaces can make even successful companies appear routine or forgettable to visiting clients. Professional branded lighting immediately signals attention to detail and investment in quality presentation, which positively influences client perceptions from the moment they enter. The conversation-starting aspect also provides natural opportunities for relationship building, as visitors often ask about the displays, creating opening for discussions about company innovation and attention to detail.

How quickly can you deliver for immediate office enhancement needs?

Office improvements often have urgent timelines - upcoming client visits, sudden presentation needs, or last-minute event planning. We can produce custom office displays within seven business days, just like the JBS order in this case study, with delivery following shortly after. This rapid turnaround accommodates the immediate needs that office environments often face when appearance suddenly becomes a priority for business reasons.

How do I choose the right size for different office environments?

Office spaces require displays that provide impact without overwhelming the environment or interfering with daily operations. The 14-inch egg size, like JBS chose, works well for most office applications - substantial enough to create visual interest in meeting rooms and reception areas, but not so large that they dominate professional spaces or interfere with presentations and conversations. Consider your primary use areas and typical meeting sizes when determining optimal sizing.

How do I coordinate illuminated displays with existing office design and corporate identity?

Professional offices often have established color schemes, furniture standards, and corporate brand guidelines that new elements must complement rather than conflict with. We work within your existing design parameters and brand standards to ensure the displays enhance your current office aesthetic. The remote-controlled color matching ensures perfect coordination with your corporate colors and allows adaptation to different office areas with varying design characteristics.

How easy is setup and operation for busy office staff?

Office environments require solutions that don't add complexity to already busy workdays. Setup is literally just unpack and turn on - no assembly, no technical coordination, and no instruction manuals for staff to learn. Anyone in your office can operate the remote controls to adjust colors and settings without training or technical support. This simplicity is essential for HR teams and administrative staff who need solutions that work reliably without requiring ongoing management attention.

Where should I position displays for maximum impact in office environments?

Focus on areas where business interactions naturally occur - reception areas for client first impressions, main conference rooms for presentations, and common areas where employees and visitors gather. Consider sight lines from entrance areas and main walkways to ensure maximum visibility during typical office traffic patterns. The wireless flexibility lets you optimize positioning for actual usage rather than being constrained by electrical outlet locations or mounting limitations.

How do I manage different settings for various office occasions and client types?

Different clients, presentations, and office events often require different atmospheric approaches to match the occasion and audience. Use the remote control to create consistent brand presentations for formal client meetings, energetic displays for employee celebrations, or subtle accent lighting for executive briefings. Many office managers develop simple color protocols for different types of meetings, making it easy for any staff member to create an appropriate atmosphere quickly.

How do I get started with office environment enhancement?

Just like the JBS HR team in this case study, start by identifying your primary office challenges - generic meeting rooms, unmemorable reception areas, or a lack of branded presence during client visits. Send your corporate logo through our online form, and we'll create mockups showing how illuminated displays will transform your office spaces. The whole process takes just a few minutes to get started, and you'll have professional mockups showing exactly how branded lighting can give your office the personality and professional presence it needs for better business interactions.
