This case study unveils how Spellbrand meticulously crafted a branding narrative and identity that encapsulates the essence of this apartment community, positioning it as the epitome of suburban sophistication just a stone’s throw from the bustle of Washington D.C.
Working with the team at Spellbrand has been fantastic! I spent time researching companies that would help me build brands for each asset that are all in different locations and more specifically build a brand that could help tell each of their unique stories. Spellbrand did just that. The process was easy. To provide them with my initial thoughts through a nicely-outlined input form they sent to me and they took that information and created a number of awesome designs. I was able to incorporate "the story" easily with a design we selected. I'm excited to get it into action and see what's in store for the next project. Also, each person I worked with has been super responsive, knowledgeable, and awesome to work with! Kudos to Mash, Mike, and Eva! I really enjoy working with you!
