House share website
Co-founders Nick and Eva wanted to offer the over 40s better access to house share opportunities. Leading house share sites were dominated by young professionals and millenials who were not interested in older housemates, making it difficult to find a place. Live-in landlords and lead tenants can advertise a room where prospective housemates can search. People looking for a place can search by location, sharing preferenes and keyword.

Bedü communications
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.
