MIGHTY IMPACT! 

PROJECT

 

Designing and producing a branded giveaway to  be used as a trade show giveaway 

WHAT WE DID

 

Novelli designed and produced a NovaBrix replica Holman Fleet Upfitted Truck from NovaBrix building brick set

OPPORTUNITY

Novelli had the opportunity to collaborate with Holman after connecting with their team at a trade show. The success of NovaBrix products as customized trade show giveaways had not gone unnoticed by the Holman team and they saw an opportunity for their brand.

From the very beginning of this project, Holman had a clear vision—they wanted to create a NovaBrix building brick set that aligned with their brand and resonated with their audience. Their team knew exactly what they wanted, and Novelli's role was to transform their concept into a high-quality, tangible product.

INSIGHTS & DATA

Leveraging our expertise in custom building block sets, we worked closely with Holman to define the concept, ensuring that every detail captured their expectations.

From the outset, the vision was clear – create a replica of a Holman Fleet Truck. In order to achieve this, Novelli's Design and Innovation team spent considerable time studying the truck design looking at distinctive elements and how these could be achieved using small bricks. The hardest, but arguably the most important elements to get accurate, were Holman’s award winning ProRack rack system, the bumper and tires.

Novelli worked with our factory to design and test multiple NovaBrix designs. From design and prototyping to production, we guided the process, making adjustments along the way to bring their vision to life.

OUR SOLUTION

The finished NovaBrix Holman Upfitting Truck is a perfect representation of their expertise in fleet solutions and vehicle customization.

The NovaBrix Holman Fleet Trucks are built tough – just like the real ones! With super-grip tires, heavy bumpers and heavy-duty ladder racks, these replica vehicles are field-ready to tackle the toughest play challenge.

"Novelli was incredible to work with from beginning to end on this project!

We appreciate you bringing our vision to life and being so easy to work with!

We had soooo many people come up to the booth saying these are the coolest giveaways at the show! Looking forward to working with you on the next vehicle in our fleet!"

OUTCOME

This thoughtful design not only captured the essence of their brand but also served as a conversation starter, drawing attendees to their booth. The buzz around the exclusive item created an energy that helped Holman maximize their presence, start conversations, and leave attendees with a memorable takeaway.

By turning their idea into a reality, we helped Holman transform their booth into a must-visit destination, reinforcing the power of interactive and collectible branding in a trade show environment.

The impact of Holman’s NovaBrix set went beyond just their booth—it became a conversation starter across the entire trade show floor. As we walked through the event carrying one, multiple attendees stopped us to ask what it was and, more importantly, where they could get one. The excitement around the exclusive upfitted truck set created a ripple effect, driving even more traffic to Holman’s booth. This organic buzz reinforced the power of a well-designed, highly desirable giveaway in making a brand stand out at a crowded event.
