New website for water cooler supplier, CoolerAid

By Ashley, February 20, 2012 12:02 pm

Hot, Cold and now even Warmer

Thump had first developed the CoolerAid website over five years ago. CoolerAid is a supplier of bottled water and mains fed water coolers. The company has grown to become a the third largest player in the water beverage market. New product offerings of mains boilers and coffee machines have been introduced and blossomed as a significant part of the product portfolio.

It was certainly time to refresh the website to reflect the positioning of the company and communicate its extensive product range. CoolerAid is a prolific supporter of a charity called the LifeLine Fund and has donated over £3,000,0000.

Thump creative’s came up with an idea of HOT, COLD and WARM, the former relating to boilers and coolers and the latter the company’s philanthropic activities. The market is highly competitive so the website is direct in its sales approach, although due to CoolerAid’s pricing policy eCommerce could not be fully exploited. Competitor sites are much the same as each other so Thump created a unique site with use of video and animation software to deliver an experiential and interactive content.

Prestige vehicle sales and consultancy is a car sales dealership based in Suffolk. The company offering tends to be executive, performance and luxury vehicles. A recent relocation prompted Thump to recommend a makeover of the website. The look and feel now mirrors the product offering i.e. high quality and luxurious.

Campbell Buchanan business is a residential property developer. Its operations’ including the planning, design, construction, marketing and selling of properties. The website heralded the new Corporate Identity and provides an experiential view of the company its values and ethos. The website is a flash website and as such cannot fulfil organic search engine parameters, which is why Thump persuaded the client to develop the blog website.

The blog was developed to communicate news as well as to give audiences an insight into the residential market, the trends, the technology, property events, property news, legal industry matters and home ownership. Users find this a useful and interesting source of information whether they work in the industry, are a home buyer, or just have a level of general interest in property. The technical benefit is for search engine marketing.

JRA property advertising – Star performance

By Dave, June 1, 2011 10:34 am

The advertising campaign for JRA started with a prelaunch campaign followed by a weekend launch advert in regional property press – enquiries generated through the Harlow Star proved most successful – viewing for the launch weekend numbered 48, some converting to actual sales. Commentators observed the adverts developed by Thump had strong standout in a highly congested media.

The JRA is an eleven storey apartment building, the apartments are one and two bedrooms and whilst modern and contemporary they remain much as many others in the area. The creative concept identified with the views afforded by the location and used a double entendre with the call to action – viewing the apartments. The full page adverts ran in local press to Harlow, Hertfordshire and Essex.





JRA – Harlow Living website live

By Ash, May 31, 2011 4:41 pm

The Joseph Rank Building was a rather grey looking building that has now been transformed by property developer Luminus Group to offer 132 one and two bedroom apartments. Thumped has been engaged to complete the transformation though an integrated marketing communications campaign. The first task, post research, was to develop a brand name for the site and logo. Harlow whilst often described as a new town (and by some as a bit grey) now has new distinctive, bright and cheerful logo. The concept was influenced by the fact that Harlow is known for its sculptures – there over 100 of them! and by the profiling of a youngish target audience. The property is located in the centre of town with immediate access to a vibrant city lifestyle.

The campaign in execution included sales literature, signage, decorated marketing suite and hoardings and micro website http://www.harlowliving.co.uk. Local  property press advertising supported the launch and continues to drive footfall.
