  • Case studies > Whalton Manor

    Brief: Make this country garden into a viable visitor attraction.

    Brand Opportunity: Develop a country garden experience where visitors feel they have been invited around to a friend's place for a walk around the garden with afternoon tea.

    How Research & Strategic Planning helped: This case shows that you don't have to have a multi-million pound marketing budget in order to get effective results. Based on our experience within tourism marketing we developed a brand proposition for Whalton Manor and then implemented this consistently across the marketing mix - including the product offering, pricing strategy and promotional materials. The marketing activity was completed by the client on a small budget and included very focussed online and offline activity.

    How Creative helped: Our task here was simple; communicate the friendliness and beauty that Whalton Manor offers visitors.

    The result: From the start of our involvement the Whalton Manor brand became a desired destination for visitors to Northumberland, with a 240% growth in numbers in only 12 months.
