Case study
A new brand to relaunch Windsor Guildhall
Windsor Guildhall is a Grade I listed historic building of national importance, known as the Jewell in the Royal Borough's Crown, with links to royalty and local government.
We were approached by The museum curator for a proposal for developing the museum display to help them put together an application for Arts Council funding.
When the bid was accepted we were engaged to complete the work to a tight budget and timescale, and also develop a new brand for the Guildhall, with sub-brands for the Museum, Events and Weddings offerings.
