Agency round-up: Warbox; 1284

Nottingham brand communications agency, Warbox, has been appointed by luxury interior design company, Steven Christopher Design, to support the opening of a new flagship showroom in Beeston.

The family-run business previously operated from two sites in Long Eaton and West Bridgford.

Warbox collaborated with Steven Christopher Design on a brand refinement and positioning project.

Tom Baker, managing director at Steven Christopher Design said: “The opening of our Beeston showroom, in a striking former bank building, marks the start of an exciting new chapter, with customers able to immerse themselves in the displays and get a true understanding of the quality and feel of our products.

“As well as working directly with home-owners, we often collaborate with architects, developers and interior designers on high-end projects, and it was important that our brand also spoke to this audience.

“Warbox was the perfect partner; its expertise in premium branding and attention to detail ensured our brand reflects the craftsmanship, quality, and sophistication we deliver in every project, as well as positioning us as a leading provider of wellness interiors across the East Midlands.”

Mark Fensom, managing director at Warbox said: “Steven Christopher Design has built a reputation for delivering luxury interiors, without relying on gimmicks or promotions. Our job was to refine the existing brand and provide the team with the tools needed to bring this new brand identity to life across social media, marketing collateral and external signage.”

The Communications Marketplace enables UK government and public sector organisations to access a wide range of specialist communications services from listed agencies.

Marketplace suppliers must pass pre-arranged checks to be listed, including evidencing the impact of previous contracts, detail of professional accreditations and supply of public sector customer testimonials.

Once checks are complete, suppliers appear in the search results of potential customers, who are able to use a filtering system to search marketplace suppliers based on their own communications needs.

Account director, Amy Orton, said: “Being named as a CCS supplier means it’s now easier for Government and public clients to access our extensive experience and expertise.

“We already work with several public sector partners, so we know how important it is that organisations can commission trusted outsourced support at pace.”
