WDA are excited to announce the launch of a major rebrand for a-one commercial cleaners, designed to reflect the company’s ethos of delivering industry leading customer service and give the business real stand-out to elevate their marketing and communications above their competitors.

A-one are a company who pride themselves in delivering a first–rate service that comes second to none. As Joe Hunnam, MD and founder tells us;

“We’re called a-one because we do an a-one job! Having built up this reputation over the years by going above and beyond the call of duty to deliver very tangible service advantages over those offered by other firms. However, we didn’t feel this difference was being communicated effectively through our marketing which is why we approached WDA.

We first became aware of WDA through their re-brand of Derby County’s new gym Funktion Fitness, as a-one have their cleaning contract, and myself and my son Danny (who runs the business with Joe) are also members there. When compared to other gym’s in the region we felt the brand identity WDA had created gave Funktion real stand-out and a very strong, clear appeal to its target audience – two things we really wanted to achieve for a-one.”

With this in mind, WDA designed a fresh and bold new visual identity with the new brand positioning of ‘No One Compares’ to underline a-one’s stated service advantages; and also to compliment and reinforce the ‘a-one’ name.

The re-branding was then applied to their new website (also built by WDA), which you can see by clicking this link. Additionally, the new look has been applied to signage and vehicle livery (shown above – you’re certainly not going to miss that driving round the streets of Derby!) and a range of fully branded uniforms, which we hope you’ll agree makes these two gentleman look pretty smart!

“The a-one re-brand is a great example of how effective brand marketing can strongly differentiate a business operating in what many would consider a commodity market” said WDA’s Lee Waterhouse “This project was all about change customer perceptions about cleaning by highlighting that ‘not all cleaning companies are the same’ – and in fact, with a-one – no-one compares!”

Last month we told you we had embarked on a re-build of our own website, and today we officially GO LIVE! – right on schedule. We hope you like it – take a quick look around and let us know what you think.

Apart from being due a refresh, the new site was created as part of a wider rebranding of WDA, including an updating of information site-wide to reflect WDA’s new processes and approach. From a visual perspective the new identity has been designed with a cleaner layout and minimalist colour scheme, reflective of a simplification of our service offering.

The new site launches WDA’s ‘ideas agency’ approach, created in response to the increasing number of exciting new media options available to brand owners today. This separates our services into ‘Route to mind’ (the ‘Killer Ideas’ which underpin everything we do), and ‘Route to market’ (the execution of those ideas utilising whichever media will give our clients maximum ROI). The site has been built on a new platform and features several functionality improvements to allow more rapid distribution of dynamic content. Both the case studies section and news blog have also been updated and revamped.

Thinking of a re-fresh yourself?

Your website is typically the most visible component of your brand, and as your business evolves to meet market needs, so should your site. Whilst content needs updating frequently to improve search and visitor retention, and incremental design or layout changes will keep your site fresh; sometimes more fundamental changes are necessary – especially if the visual impact of your site no longer represents your business, or if you are getting left behind your competition. Sometimes it is just a case of updating the back end to simplify and streamline content control, or to allow you to fully leverage the growing number of online and social media channels which your target customers are using.

If you would like WDA to evaluate your existing website to see if we can improve your customers experience, increase reach, improve functionality, and drive more enquiries and sales, then get in touch.

“Create extra demand for KBC products, and increase sales by streamlining the online to in-store customer journey”

This top line objective is just the kind of challenge WDA relishes as it gives us the opportunity to create something with a very focussed commercial goal.

With KBC we set about creating a visually stunning site to give the the brand an edge over its competition; whilst a complete overhaul of the user interface makes browsing and product selection easy and enjoyable for the viewer.

Additionally we have introduced a whole range of increased functionality over the outgoing site aimed at streamlining certain processes which were previously handled manually off line, including consolidation of the global dealer listings.

The site is built around an all new easy to search range selector hub, with online registration and a comprehensive support section for owners. Additionally there is a new blog which posts out to KBCs social networks, and a twitter feed coming back into the site. Video content is streamed onto the home page and media area, which also has downloadable screen savers taken from the new advertising suite.

Putting KBC’s global dealer network in control

The dealer locator component of the site created by WDA’s developer team is bespoke and gives nearly 30 global distributors administrator access to manage their own country specific dealer listings. Assigning control to the distributors aims to streamline the management process and ensure lists are accurate and up to date, ultimately making the customer experience as smooth as possible from website to point of purchase.

The new site is the first of a whole range of planned promotional material to leverage KBC’s new Design Edge brand positioning and visual identity (also devised by WDA).

WDA are pleased to announce the launch of Scorpion Exhausts all new website – the first key component of a planned extensive integrated marketing campaign which will start to roll out over coming months. The engaging new site marks the dawn of a new era for Scorpion who have a mission to re-establish the brand as a global leader in both 2 and 4 wheel categories within 5 years.

The new website has been re-built from the ground up, with design, copywriting, photography, coding, and search all completed by WDA. Packed with many exciting new products (including a whole new lineup of flagship ‘Red Power’ systems), the site has been designed to be simple to navigate with a nice clean interface in keeping with the new brand identity which was also created by WDA and revealed to the world last year.

The site has been created with future development and added content population very much in mind, and WDA plan to keep the site sticky by introducing a whole host of extra features and incentives over the coming months. Fans can already sign up to keep abreast of Scorpions various motorsport programs, and will soon be able to track their new mobile exhibition unit via the online calendar which will plot the movements of the new Scorpion roadshow, set to launch soon.

Connecting with customers

One of the most important aspects of the site was to convey to the customer what it means to own a Scorpion system. Positioning Scorpion in such a way that todays brand savvy riders and drivers could make an emotional connection was critical in re-igniting demand for the products. Adding the ‘brand’ page allowed us to directly communicate all that Scorpion ownership stands for; additionally we re-defined all the product categories so that customers understood individual range benefits and differences to make purchase decisions as clear and easy as possible.
