Alton & Southern

Alton & Southern faced challenges stemming from their outdated website, coupled with a lack of clarity and consistency in their brand messaging and visual assets. The website failed to reflect the company's evolution and growth, leaving potential customers with a subpar understanding of the company’s legacy. Its static content, obsolete design, and inefficient navigation deterred users from engaging, resulting in potentially missed business opportunities. Moreover, the brand's identity lacked a cohesive and unified message, causing confusion among customers and diluting its overall impact.

This absence of a clear brand voice was hindering Alton & Southern’s ability to establish a strong emotional connection with its target audience, hampering brand loyalty and customer retention.

Seafoam Media tackled this challenge first by conducting a Brand Strategy Workshop - a collaborative session involving our team and Alton & Southerns key stakeholders.

By asking specific questions relating to the business and industry, we would draw out the knowledge, ideas, and perspectives necessary to develop and refine the brand's strategic direction, align all participants on the brand's purpose, values, positioning, target audience, messaging, and overall marketing approach.

We also conducted an audit of Alton and Southern's visual identity assets. This involved a comprehensive review and analysis of all design elements that contributed to the company's brand. The purpose of this was to assess the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of all brand assets including logos, colors, and typography, to ensure they were aligned with the brand's identity and values.
