Case Study

Stranger Films

Stranger films
Remarkable stories.

Stranger Films was founded in 2018, by a talented director-producer duo based in Brisbane. The team had evolved from their start-up brand identity and had two major goals in sight for their brand development work. Our job was to re-think how they communicate their value and bust them out of the videographer category and into the world of creative-led film production.

The Stranger Flavour

To reframe Stranger’s positioning in the market and make the brand’s offering more attractive to their ideal customers, we delivered a full brand refresh – from research and strategy to visual identity and web. 

Key insights into their market formed the basis for a big idea – remarkable stories – a thread that wove into all aspects of the brand to create a coherent and compelling narrative that Stranger could take to market.

Things we learned along the way

The struggle between SEO & Brand was real.

A lot of sites in the competitor landscape cheapened their online brand presence in order to please the Google gods. We needed to balance SEO with Brand. Keeping the integrity of the brand was our highest priority as brand positioning will bring in the right type of clients for Stranger.

.

We needed to find the right level of quirk.

With a creative brand like this we could have gone all out on the quirkiness – they are Stranger Films after all. Identifying the correct levels of quirk in the brand in order to appear unique but still highly approachable and professional meant we had to walk a fine line with the Stranger flavour.

We lift your brand, so that your brand lifts you.
