Happy 🌹

Despite being a few years old, we still think the film we produced with Marketing Lancashire packs a punch. The working title for this film 'A Battle Cry For Lancashire', and that's exactly what it is.

We received exceptional feedback when we launched this, both locally and from around the world: people were proud, they shared and reshared it, and it was even used by UKTI to showcase Lancashire at overseas investment expos.

Give it a watch, and if it makes you feel proud to be from Lancashire, give it a share - let's continue to show everyone how bloomin' great it is up here. 🌹❤️

Collaborating closely with the SavvyVan team, we’ve garnered nearly half a million impressions so far through our Meta digital advertising campaign.

Wrkspace is a leading provider of office accommodation to businesses in the North West. As their commercial property portfolio grew they needed a house of brands to showcase this, and an established brand architecture that allows for new sub-brands to be added as and when their portfolio grows. 💡

Collaborating closely with the Wrkspace team, we developed a brand strategy by delving into the team's dynamics and Wrkspace's core values. This laid the foundation for us to introduce five sub-brands: Derby House, Old Docks House, No. 3 Fulwood, The Watermark, and Hamill House, each with its own identity while complementing the overarching Wrkspace brand.

We then focused our attention on refining the brand visuals, ensuring that all brand identities were aligned through subtle adjustments. After finalising the visual identities, we produced a set of guidelines to maintain brand integrity. ✅

Developing a strong brand goes much deeper than good design, it also needs to align with the purposes of the business and resonate with target audiences. 💭

A startup, but backed by industry experts, Ventus Energy needed a brand that was slick and trusted, whilst also being fresh and new - just like them. They needed a logo that would make waves in the industry, with a set of brand guidelines to futureproof the brand as they grow.

Drawing inspiration from their industry, we opted for three overlapping circles to form a wind turbine design, complemented by a colour palette featuring cyan, blue, and green tones. This symbolises nature, renewable energy, waves, and wind, perfectly capturing the essence of Ventus Energy's brand. 🌊🔵

We then produced brand guidelines so that the Ventus team and other designers, printers and journalists have the necessary framework to communicate the brand consistently across web and print.

takes place every September 5th and serves as a reminder of the power of philanthropy and its impact on the world around us. 🤝

At 3manfactory, we believe that brands have the power to change the world. We have helped our client Moto Hospitality rebrand its charitable arm from Moto in the Community to Moto Foundation, producing brand guidelines and assets to support their mission and engage audiences in their vital work.

We also participate in corporate gift-giving over the festive period through donations to our client's chosen charities to showcase our support.

We often discuss the significance of brands having a clear purpose here at 3manfactory, but how exactly do brands pinpoint this crucial element? 🤔

When Service Care Solutions, a reputable and thriving recruitment agency spanning across various industries, expressed that their brand wasn’t in alignment with the size and success of the business, we stepped in to provide our expertise.

We conducted a thorough brand audit for Service Care Solutions, including workshops with staff at all levels. Through interactive sessions, drop-ins, digital feedback, and phone interviews, we uncovered their core identity and provided clear ‘next steps’ to propel their brand forward.

What are the key elements of an effective international recruitment strategy? Let us tell you how we work alongside our client, Origin Spinal Injury Care, to grow their dedicated team of live-in care specialists. 🤝

In the wake of Brexit, the pandemic, and other external factors, the social care sector experienced its biggest challenge yet. We stepped in to assist Origin in expanding its reach for potential candidates both domestically in the UK and internationally, tapping into talent pools from mainland Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. 🌍

Through in-depth persona research, we delved into identifying the ideal candidates for the position and understanding their motivations. This led to the creation of the “Even More Me” campaign, featuring compelling creative elements that highlight the profound impact that Origin's Personal Care Assistants have on clients.
