Strategy

It was clear Stonebrooke needed to better align with their unique value and express their "why". Desktop research, employee interviews and strategy workshops with the Stonebrooke leadership team ensured we had our eye on the right problem to solve before we began writing and design.  

Value proposition / Core Message

With the companies internal value prop defined, writer Troy Longie and I worked to concept, clarify and define Stonebrooke's external, consumer-facing value with a new core message—Responsible by design. 

logo development

The new brand identity began with symbol concepts centered on unique "S" interpretations. The marks explored visual metaphores around pathways, connectedness and flexibility. 

FINAL LOGO + Identity extensions

The new identity was extended across a new web site, apparel, signage, vehicle graphics, swag and a variety of print applications. 

Web Site

The new site was rebuilt from the ground up. Improved UI, a robust, updated portfolio and a reimagined careers page shines a light on the culture and talent that makes up the 60+ employee firm.  Post-launch, we turned the keys over to the internal team and trained them up on making edits and updates via the new CMS.
