North Devon Resort Ltd, a UK-based family resort, was struggling to convert their online visibility into actual bookings. Despite their all-season offering, family-friendly vibe, and on-site restaurant, their digital footprint lacked consistency, personality, and clarity. The resort relied heavily on third-party platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb to generate bookings.

We led the full brand transition from a local holiday park to a regional, quality destination. The shift was more than cosmetic—it enabled premium pricing, improved trust and consistency, and set the tone for every touchpoint—ads, emails, signage, and social. The new slogan, Gateway to North Devon, became the anchor for all future messaging.
