The challenge

Brookbanks' business is split into two arms: a project consultancy and a master developer. Together they offer end-to-end lifecycle support for major development and infrastructure projects — but to the market, the two halves read as two businesses.

They asked us to create brand positioning for the whole company: connect the dots between the master developer and project consultancy offerings, and present one clear, cohesive picture rather than a business split in two.

The new Brookbanks brand world — one system for both arms of the business.

The approach

We started as we always do: with thorough research and strategic thinking. A discovery phase mapped the current brand positioning and customer perceptions — interviews and workshops to gather customer opinions and attitudes, desk research to understand the industry landscape, and a holistic review of the existing website to understand pain points, future needs and drivers.

That work yielded the data that underpinned the entire project: the brand's positioning, vision, ambition and proposition, and the customer journey. By the time we touched a design tool, we knew exactly what the new website had to do.

The new site: lightweight, agile, and built on a CMS the client can actually use.

The outcome

The strategy was complemented by end-user research and audits of the existing site's content, design, technical build and SEO. With that groundwork done, we built a lightweight, attractive and agile website from the ground up — on an easy-to-use CMS that lets the Brookbanks team update content whenever they need to.

"The RKH team, led by Harshul, helped steer our vision into reality, providing specialist big-picture thinking to match our aspirations. The outcome has given us a strong and functional digital foundation for our next wave of development and I'd highly recommend RKH."

AI does the repetitive part. We do the part that sounds like you.

Anyone can point a model at a task. The difference is what comes out the other end — on-brand, considered and unmistakably yours, not generic AI filler. We keep a human hand on every build, so the time you save never costs you your voice.
