Michael Bell Architects (MBA), known for their classic and timeless designs, faced a challenge with their brand and online presence. Their existing branding and website were outdated, not reflecting the premium, bespoke services they offer to their affluent client base.
Problem
MBA’s challenge was an incongruity between their high-end architectural services and their digital footprint. The outdated brand and website did not align with their reputation for luxury and exclusivity, potentially affecting their appeal to the top tier market.
Solution
The solution involved a complete overhaul of MBA’s branding and website, aligning them with the firm’s luxurious and timeless ethos. The new design incorporated a modern, sleek aesthetic while maintaining the classic charm that MBA is known for. This rebranding effectively communicated the firm’s values and prestige, enhancing its appeal to the target audience of Australia’s wealthiest individuals.
