Marketing services website

CustomServe wanted to promote their wider business to emphasise the value of their expertise rather than just provide an international feedback service to professional organisations.

Rebranding the company as Acuigen, a word based on acuity, meaning keenness of sight allowed them to promote additional services across multiple markets. It repositioned the company as being linked to the generation of business value, not research.

Bedü communications

Bedu communications recommendations

Property developer Bedü (named after a nomadic people, whose self-reliance and territorial approach to land ownership reflected the company values) delivered innovative low-cost accomodation and wanted to give users of their hostels a ‘sense of being’, where the occupier enjoys enhanced autonomy and a sense of dignity.

The problem was that planners, influenced by local residents, were slow to approve plans for new properties or expansion of existing sites.

I worked with the Development Director and CEO to explore how attitudes could be changed and planning advanced using communications in the broadest sense.

Features: A media ‘eco-system’ of integrated media, all based around key messages.
