The Destinations - a portfolio
The range of work and the breadth of business types and sectors we’ve worked in is extensive. Skim through some of the projects we’ve been a part of…
FEATURED PROJECT
Sutherland Reay Estate Agents
Sutherland Reay, was seeking to raise its profile with a rebrand. It wanted to stand apart from the corporate chains and wear its independence with pride. Owner run, with a team of staff that genuinely care about the journey of sellers and buyers and the stresses and strains of such a “life event”.
“It’s all about the board”… …the first and strongest signals are the boards that populate the streets we all drive along. Starting from this point C6 took things much further by not just creating a new brand identity and a new board, but a complete visual signature for every aspect of the Sutherland Reay’s operations. Sale boards, Branch exteriors, interiors, vehicles, sales packs, and advertising were all given a new face that matched the personality of the business. To raise the profile further C6 used SKY to run geo-targeted adverts to the potential clients. C6 engaged Standyby Productions to create a memorable ad that captured the personality of the company.
The result? It’s a simple one to measure - Sutherland Reay sale and letting boards are everywhere!

C6 also project managed the first roll-out at a sixth form college in Nottingham.

Working with Frances, we oversaw photography, website design and email marketing that raised the profile of the Yorke Arms, contributing to its acquisition by the Bayford Group.

This Hull based garage door, gate and shutter business needed to generate leads. A new website, combined with paid search and SEO, dramatically increased the flow of leads and significantly cut conversion cost.

Portal Powered Blinds

Branding and a website were required to promote the concept as a supply and fit trading model to consumers and professional installer companies.
E-Foods
C6 provided a complete outsourced marketing function, acting as consulting Marketing Director and facilitator for this purchase-to-pay online food procurement company. C6 partnered the company from £30m to £90m and supported the company in taking the marketing function in-house.

Brookfields Specialist SEN School
Creating a prospectus was the start-point for this unique school, however the scope extended to signage, wall graphics and presentation materials. The confident use of colour connected with students and the unified presentation reflected the professionalism of the Special Educational Needs team at Brookfields.

Clayton CCA Chartered Accountants
Changing the traditional view of accountancy was the challenge. The combination of a fixed fee business model and a chatty, approachable style for the marketing has kept sign-ups flowing in.
