The Brief
The Museum was previously known as the Priest’s House Museum. After a £1.8 million Revival Project it was renamed as the Museum of East Dorset and the Inspiration Agency won the pitch to create a new brand and website plus deliver PR and social media for the relaunch.
Branding
They required a new brand that reflected the modern refurbishment, whilst honouring the heritage of the site.
Design
The brand needed to be implemented consistently across many communication materials, internally and externally.
Website
They required a complex website with a lot of information as well as the ability to take payments for visits and for customers to book events.
PR and Social Media
They required a launch plan that communicated the new museum’s offerings both locally and nationally across on-line and off-line channels.
Brand
The new brand is based on the typography of the signage from when the building was an ironmongers. We created a set of logos in various layouts and formats for their ongoing use and a full set of brand guidelines to ensure the brand is always implemented correctly.
Design
We designed and printed a wide range of materials including stationery, flyers, posters and a visitors guide. We also implemented templates which the team use on an ongoing basis.
Website
We designed and coded a bespoke, responsive WordPress website to promote the website to various target audiences, including ecommerce functionality for visitor bookings, events, membership and donations
They are always prompt and responsive to tweaks and can be totally relied upon to produce exactly what you were after – even if you didn’t know what that was until they deliver it!
Testimonial
“I highly recommend the work of Louise and the Inspiration Agency. From the beginning of our relationship they have understood our organisation and audience. The rebrand and website build went smoothly and we are delighted with the results which have pushed us to the next level. They now support us with our ongoing requirements, consistently producing high quality work which seamlessly matches our organisation’s branding and visual language, whilst understanding what the design needs to deliver. They are always prompt and responsive to tweaks and can be totally relied upon to produce exactly what you were after – even if you didn’t know what that was until they deliver it!”
