Building An Epic Brand Experience

Clayton Homes, a leading single-family home builder, asked us to build a brand identity for their epic home collection. Upon delivering a fresh visual identity, verbal identity, and usage guidelines, we put the brand immediately to work, launching an internal email campaign, supportive marketing materials, branded merch boxes, and national website.

Building the Brand

A modern, always evolving home collection calls for a bold, sleek, focused brand. Epic is all about delivering the latest interior design features. So we delivered a logo, color palette, and typography to match, with the clean, collaborative, and flexible Montserrat typeface setting the stage. With a voice that gets to the point and grounds the brand, the ease of buying and owning an epic home shines.

MESSAGING STRATEGY
EMAIL MARKETING

Spreading the Word

Clayton is a very (very) large company. So their first audience is always internal. Our messaging strategy included a simple acrostic, attaching the epic name directly to the collection’s top benefits and selling points for Clayton and independent retailers. From there, employing an easygoing tone of voice allowed us to grease the wheels, bringing the new brand to life through an internal email campaign, and beyond. The whole idea was to keep things easy. So the emails stayed friendly, focused, and free of fluff, keeping useful info people might actually remember at the top of their inbox. We kept coming back to clarity and simplicity, whether directly or between the lines, and over time, that helped shape how folks saw the epic product line inside Clayton and out.

Building the Website

Nationwide, epic homes are sold across six regions. In each region, options vary—floor plans, decor, and features are all location-dependent. Our challenge was to build one website smart enough and deep enough to flex between all regional options. Then we took that website, and customized it further for three distinct audiences. To top it off we wrote all copy, managed all visual content, and designed and developed every nook and cranny. Epic, indeed.
