Eco-Friendly Memorable Client Gifts for a Global Law Firm

The collaboration with Hogan Lovells, a titan in the legal industry, brought together our expertise in branding and their prestigious reputation. As the partnership between Hogan Lovells and Accent forges ahead into uncharted territories, the vision is eco-friendly and memorable client gifts to keep things interesting.

With six other substantial legal clients already on Accent’s roster, we brought a wealth of creative and operational experience, uniquely tailored to meet the needs of law firms.

An Occasion to Make A Real Change in Our World and Create Client Gift Ideas

Hogan Lovells selected WaterAid as its next global non-profit partner organization, joining forces to support climate-resilient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects in Mozambique. WaterAid is an international charity organization on a mission to deliver clean water to more than 770 million in the world who currently lack access to this essential resource.

This partnership was the perfect time to drive meaningful change and promote sustainability—a value that Accent holds close to its heart.

An Impactful Problem: Crafting Eco-Friendly Client Gifts that Align with Company Values

To celebrate this impactful partnership, Hogan Lovells needed high-quality, memorable client gifts that stood out while following its strict brand guidelines.

As a part of their three-year-long partnered fundraiser with WaterAid, the firm envisioned co-branded refillable water bottles that were eco-friendly, free of plastic, and produced with strong human rights protections in the supply chain—and as always it’s our job to bring your vision and good ideas to life.

These bottles had to offer enough space for high-quality double branding, displaying both Hogan Lovells’ and WaterAid’s company names. This is not a typical request and presented a unique challenge that was welcomed with open arms by our team.

Our task? Creating a product with custom designs that balanced the firm’s prestigious image with WaterAid’s mission, all while ensuring the design was impactful and eco-friendly.

Hogan Lovells hoped to distribute these eco-friendly water bottles as not only thoughtful gifts but also reminders of their commitment to sustainability and long-term collaboration with WaterAid. They were intended for distribution solely in their offices, not for selling purposes, reinforcing environmental responsibility.

What Makes a Memorable Client Gift?

A great way to craft creative client gifts is by combining functionality, a personal touch, and alignment with company values. Thoughtful corporate gifts, like eco-friendly water bottles with a company logo, show you care about your clients and the planet and go the extra mile in client gifting.

Our Accent Solution: Bringing Sustainability to Life with the OceanBottle

Accent recommended the 17 oz OceanBottle—an insulated, eco-friendly water bottle overflowing with sustainability and designed to make a real impact and become a memorable client gift. Each bottle purchase contributes to ocean cleanup efforts through partnerships with key non-profits, making it the perfect fit for Hogan Lovells’ and WaterAid’s shared values—and eagerly waiting to play a part in this memorable gift.

The project demanded extensive collaboration to identify the perfect vendor that could uphold the high standards for quality and design as expected. Accent worked closely with the chosen supplier to ensure a smooth process. The reusable bottles exceeded expectations, with the double engraving showcasing both logos beautifully, reinforcing the co-branding effort.

Our role went beyond the design to managing the production timelines and proactively tracking shipping to ensure the bottles were delivered on time for the highly anticipated firm’s fundraiser event.

Meaningful Results: Perfect Gifts for Clients that Drive Sustainability

The outcome? 240 beautifully crafted reusable bottles serving as memorable client gifts, delivered right on schedule, featuring dual logos capturing Hogan Lovells’ and WaterAid’s shared environmental mission.

The specially designed bottles quickly became the talk of the office, receiving praise for their sharp and smart design, successfully communicating the values of a reputable global law firm.

The fundraiser, now well into its three-year term, has already proven to be a success, with both Hogan Lovells and WaterAid happy with the progress made. The momentum keeps building through an effective press release and LinkedIn promotion further highlighting the partnership.

Unique Value: What Made This Project Stand Out?

Accent’s quick response time and proactive approach were crucial to the success of this project. We answered questions and resolved issues within the hour, ensuring a smooth experience for Hogan Lovells. Our team managed every detail, from production to delivery, and kept the client informed at every stage in the process to ensure success and mitigate challenges.

The unique dual branding on the bottles emphasized the partnership was a standout feature, emphasizing the partnership between these two organizations. The eco-conscious design not only reinforced the firm’s commitment to sustainability but also made a memorable client gift. This challenge allowed Accent to demonstrate its ability to align products with the client’s values once again.

While Hogan Lovells and WaterAid work to create change on a global scale, we’re here to help them make an impact in their offices, where it all begins.

Why Do Memorable Client Gifts Matter?

Creating memorable client gifts is an excellent way to strengthen relationships and leave a lasting impression. Whether it's a holiday gift like a Christmas gift or a thoughtful birthday gift, personalized items such as a water bottle, gift box, tote bag, or a handwritten note show clients they are valued.

For small businesses, these gifts can make a better way to stand out and build trust. Corporate gifting is not just about giving; it’s about making clients and employees feel appreciated. Unique gifts and new client gift ideas create a connection and show that you took the time to pick the right gift. It's an easy way to show clients that their loyalty matters and an excellent way to boost client relationships long-term.

A Corporate Gift Idea Turning Into Impact: A Journey to Success

This project to create a memorable client gift was a journey involving a detailed decision-making process, with extensive back-and-forth to perfect every detail of the product and branding.

With production timelines depending on OceanBottle’s schedule, Accent closely monitored the process and proactively followed up to ensure the bottles were delivered on time.

Thanks to Accent’s diligent efforts, the bottles were ready and in hand for the event, marking another successful milestone in their ongoing partnership with Hogan Lovells!
