Welcome Home: Unlocking the power of communication.

Background

Warburton Estate Agents is the market leader in residential and commercial property across the Hunter Valley. Their 43-year history of servicing the area is built upon a solid foundation of connecting real estate agents to their clients. Push was approached to develop a new competitive positioning that adapts the brand to the modern property market. This required an extensive design strategy to reflect their company values, with the aim to establish the quality of a metropolitan agency in a rural area.

Strategy

Analysing the existing brand identified several challenges – the need to connect the company’s visual identity to its values, and the importance of communicating their market position and relevance. The agency required an innovative brand reinvention to realign messaging with new core values that focus on people. Positioning them as an authentic and premier brand aimed to assert relatability and create an ownable tone of voice, which builds on the established reputation of the individual agents. The key to the successful rebrand was to develop an expressive visual identity and brand language that communicates these values.

Solution

Expert communication is the hallmark of the Warburton brand. They understand the importance of listening to their people over talking, which shapes their mission statement. To reflect this, we created a custom wordmark that forms the foundation for the brand language. This translated into a suite of messaging executed through a bespoke quote mark design that enable the brand to communicate in a unique language to highlight testimonials, case studies, and brand statements.

The repositioning strategy needed to be present in every part of the company – from a solid organisational culture to clear internal communications. We guaranteed its success by developing value-driven marketing materials that spread the messaging consistently and effectively. The final step was to create an engaging website supported by professional photography and high-quality content. This collateral helped to execute a brand launch campaign that successfully kickstarted Warburton’s competitive market position.
