We developed a brand strategy and new website that empowers Centricity’s clients to develop stronger relationships with their customers. Cohesive messaging and carefully curated photography set the stage for developing partnerships with retailers, manufacturers, and builders.
Centricity recognized the value of well-developed branding and messaging and brought Big Sea in for a Wayfinding Workshop with seven members of its leadership and marketing teams. (Read more about this process.) Our team led activities and lively discussions that gave us clarity around Centricity’s buyer personas, customer pain points, and their buyers’ journeys. We revised their mission statement together and developed a roadmap for the future.
Our discovery phase gave us the insight needed to revise their website messaging and design to better connect with their unique audiences — without sacrificing cohesiveness.
As is the case with many organizations, Centricity struggled with speaking to multiple audiences with one website. We needed to solve the challenge of funneling people into the right areas of the website without losing a cohesive brand story.
We opened with Centricity’s refreshed identity. A strong call-to-action drives leads into the funnel on every page. The two core client audiences quickly self-select and learn more about solutions that apply to them.
“Big Sea patiently learns your business and truly takes the time to understand your goals and respects (and welcomes!) feedback. We feel like we’ve gained more members to our team and value their partnership as much as our own clients.” — Kelsey Cowan, Marketing Manager, Centricity
We revised website copy to better communicate Centricity’s core message and brand. Our agile process empowered Centricity’s marketing and leadership teams to give feedback early and often.
A blog gives Centricity a platform to share helpful information with consumers and educate business leaders on retail trends and advancements in the home building industry.
We were on the same page with Centricity from the very start: No tired stock photography, no whitewashed imagery. It was important to both teams to represent all American homeowners and consumers through carefully selected images. Sourcing stock photography is a challenge — but it happens to be one of our favorite challenges.
Without custom photography to select from, we developed vision boards and libraries and worked collaboratively to find the right images to speak to Centricity’s clients and their clients’ customers. Centricity’s custom photoshoots filled in the gaps, allowing us to spotlight some of their interior spaces and employees.
Centricity will continue to evolve with the rapidly shifting landscapes of smart home technology and retail. To that end, it was critical to develop a lean website with an intuitive content management system. We built on WordPress and trained the Centricity team on how to update copy and key messages. Centricity’s users are always on the go, and our mobile-first design ensures that the site is elegant and easy to navigate regardless of screen size.
