Following on from our success at resuscitating and revitalising the commercial performance and positioning of this designer outlet village, we were commissioned by the investors to rebrand the destination to further accelerate its competitiveness and commercial trajectory. The asset is nestled on the border between England and Scotland and for many native Scottish residents it is known as the gateway home when travelling south to north and Caledonia is the Roman name for Scotland. We create a modern contemporary brand identity echoing the ambitions of both the destination and the South of Scotland region. This new era and vision was captured and played through multiple media formats across the UK, leading to an increase in super brands moving their stores to the location and a significant shift towards a more affluent demographic.

SCOPE OF WORK

The work covered Naming, brand identity, guidelines, creative art direction, shoots, production, post production, video editing, website build, marketing strategy B2B and B2C, brochure production, copywriting, social media and all brand signage design. We also recruited and trained the Head of Retail and Social Media team on behalf of the client.

The Bentall Centre summer ’22 campaign was created to celebrate Kingston, The Bentall Centre and its surrounding area — it took into consideration all the latest consumer trends and focused on hyperlocalisation.

The campaign talks about liberation and friendship for the summer months. It celebrates elegance and style. A sense of care-free abandon is diffused throughout as the campaign celebrates summertime friendship at the water’s edge.

The campaign is divided into 3 chapters.
The first chapter called ‘9AM. A Season of Sun’ tells us a story unravelling in Kingston town centre, following 2 friends around in Kingston Market Square.

The second chapter created for this client’s summer campaign centred around the beauty and heritage of the iconic Kingston Bridge in the heady heat of July. As we move beyond the hustle and bustle of the town centre, our shoot’s heroines get a chance to take a breath by the river’s edge. This chapter, titled ‘Take Me to the River’ revels in the laidback, retro aesthetics of the season’s fashion trends.

The third chapter closes the campaign with summer laughs and fun in the local Kingston park.
