Spirehouse
*Brand · Website · Print*
Took one company operating across three industries and built a parent brand plus three linked sub-brands — each with its own beautifully crafted website.
Headline result
+62% — Qualified candidate enrolments
Challenge
Spirehouse was one company operating across three very different industries — legal, HR and housing recruitment — and the single brand was holding all three back. Each market wanted to feel spoken to directly, but the group needed to retain a single, confident parent identity that tied everything together.
Approach
- Created a parent Spirehouse brand to anchor the group, then built three distinct sub-brands — one for each specialism — that felt linked but spoke their own language.
- Designed a refined wordmark system and a navy-and-yellow palette flexible enough to flex across all three sub-brands without losing cohesion.
- Built three separate websites — one per specialism — each with its own services, live jobs and testimonials, but unified visually and editorially under the Spirehouse group.
- Documented brand guidelines covering the parent and all three sub-brands so the in-house team could keep the standard high as they grew.
Results
- +62% — Increase in qualified candidate enrolments
- 2.4x — More inbound client briefs each quarter
- 9 — New retained client accounts in year one
- 30% — Lower cost per placement
