Trading since 1994, Isherwoods have become the leading estate agent in the upper up-market sector. They are known for their ‘Select Cheltenham Lettings’, with a particular strength in the urban areas of Cheltenham, particularly the Montpellier and Landsdown areas.Originally, I-AM were asked to create a new brand identity and environment design for the Montpellier office. The new office reflects Isherwoods’ local knowledge of the Montpellier area and is a physical manifestation of the customer-focused values they hold dear. I-AM have since designed the brand and marketing strategy for the launch of the Isherwoods sales business.

A refreshed and revived brand identity has allowed Keatons to be noticed in their world, not only on the streets but on the web too. The suite of branded literature has handed negotiators excellent tools to help express their brand values and the Keatons personality.A stylish, intuitive website allows clients to not only view and enquire about properties but also to discover more about the people they encounter at Keatons. The result is a striking, coherent and sophisticated brand image that gives a platform for Keatons to achieve ambitious plans for growth and expansion, rising above the ‘also-rans’ in this crowded sector. I-AM continue to work with Keatons on the on-going development and application of the new branding.

Strutt and Parker specialise in land and property. They are a long-established brand, owning 50 branches across England and Scotland. I-AM were commissioned to design a new visitor experience for their offices, starting with a flagship agency on London’s Fulham Road, using the theme of partnership as a foundation for all interior and visual elements.The eye-catching, contemporary and quirky design sets the benchmark for future refurbishments and new sites. I-AM proposed a series of humorous juxtapositions to embed the theme of partnership. Influences were taken from the rural and urban, the old and new to create a witty and intrinsically British design. The interiors and strong brand identity reflect a strong sense of national heritage and aim to raise a smile. The result is a contemporary take on classic British visual themes. It has resonated hugely positively with customers and staff and continues to be developed and applied by I-AM across the Strutt & Parker estate.

Douglas and Gordon bring a highly civilised and innovative approach to estate agency. They wanted to gain an advantage in a competitive sector by expressing their unique qualities through a professional, innovative and distinctive brand experience. I-AM were asked to design premium modern environments and a memorable client experience that reflected the brand’s personality. I-AM proposed a bespoke design solution in the form of a rich, warm and inviting family of modern property showrooms. I-AM also developed a strategic, advice-driven process that showcases the role of the estate agent. We have pioneered the concept of blending digital with interior design , integrating large-scale interactive digital media. The concept has been implemented by I-AM across the Douglas and Gordon estate, each with its own personality. Refreshed branches show significant uplift, improving levels of business while reinforcing the brand’s values and its unique proposition.

The Keatons directors are ambitious, visionary and way more personable than the widespread stereotype of their trade would suggest. After creating their brand strategy together, I-AM created a fresh new brand identity that has allowed Keatons to be noticed in their world, on the streets and online. The new website and suite of branded literature has handed negotiators distinctive tools that express the Keatons personality to stand out and connect with property buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants in this competitive marketplace. I-AM applied this brand image, personality and tone to their growing site network both as a low-cost ‘mini-fit’ makeover and, in new sites, full fit-outs. The result is a striking, coherent and sophisticated brand image that gives a platform for Keatons to achieve ambitious plans for growth and expansion, rising above the ‘also-rans’ in this crowded sector.

Burgan Bank is a Kuwaiti financial services group and a leading financial services provider in the Middle East and North Africa. I-AM worked with Burgan Bank to produce the branding and architecture of their new Private Banking Centre in Istanbul’s Nispetiye Street, one of the most prominent locations in the city. Workshops were conducted to determine the new brand essence: hand-crafted banking. We then designed an iconic structure that embodies this essence and portrays the private and exclusive experience and services on offer. I-AM created a powerful, eye-catching and inspiring landmark with strong, bold and defined movements ensuring both a functional space where operational requirements could be met, and where a tailor-made and elegant customer experience could be offered. The façade designed with metal plate layers perforated with the brand emblem provides natural light to the building during the day, and highlights the structure through the lighting placed on the inner layer...

Nationwide enlisted I-AM to review their brand identity and define a visual language to transform it into a key business asset. Their overarching vision for this emerged from their slogan,‘On Your Side’, and a sense that they should be seen as a ‘Modern British Classic’. Through a holistic approach to the creative development of the brand mark, image style, colour palette and holding devices, we began to tell the brand story more consistently. The iconic ‘village’ symbol was re-drawn with softer lines to resonate with the introduction of more contemporary, rounded forms elsewhere in the new visual language. We expanded these graphic ideas to a suite of simple and distinctive structural devices that harmoniously relate to the core brand values of ‘On your Side’ and ‘Togetherness’. The defined holding device, palette and image style has provided much-needed consistency. This has led to clearer, more direct communications that bring the brand in line with Nationwide’s products and se...
