Brand Identity Evolution

A refresh of the brand identity was the first stage of the project. With a clear indication from Ideal that a check mark was to be incorporated into the new logo, we set about developing the new word mark and icon.

We introduced a new colour palette changing from orange and black to muted blue and green. Development of a new icon set and supporting mood boards were produced to help steer the new website design.

Bespoke Design & Development

With branding complete we designed bespoke templates for Automotus CMS integration, incorporating the new brand elements including icons and typography. Integration with Cars and Driving was also implemented to deliver vehicle images as well as reviews across the various manufacturers.

CRM Deployment

With the new website complete we then launched Ideal's Automotus CRM service. The CRM is closely integrated with Automotus CMS with automatic lead synchronisation plus campaign integration and tracking.

Bespoke quote, order and finance application templates where developed and integrated into the CRM, which are automatically generated when account managers process orders.

Additional automations where added to the CRM workflow to help speed up Ideal's sales process and improve the customer touch-points throughout their sales journey.


Marketing Support

Email campaign development followed including email template design and campaign setup within Mailchimp. Social channels where updated to reflect the new design direction and supporting paid campaigns launched to help increase traffic and leads from these channels.
