Developing a property portfolio

News_Andrews_large

Andrews, one of the UK’s leading residential and commercial property brands in the south of England, is busy growing its business. As part of their development plans they have recently created a new service offering. This service has a distinctive set of benefits created specifically to attract the ‘up market’ house seller. We were asked to create a visual identity for this service to communicate the value of this offering and thereby extend the current Andrews branding in line with growth plans. We applied the new identity to window display material, sales literature and advertising.

We are now working with the company on their latest exciting project.
