Reversing a decline
“Lee was instrumental in bringing this Club back to growth. His data driven approach, delivery and influence was the wakeup call the business needed to implement change. Measurement and the ‘why’ was central to his output – letting the results do the talking. I can only take credit for hiring him – Lee did the rest. ”

Rebrand
A new name and logo was just the beginning – the intention was to bring the Club forward and align it with the current audiences. Appealing to the fasted growing leisure vehicle marketing, the motorhome, was obvious. The next step was to ensure all elements perpetuate an emotional message, rather than functional – tapping into a fact the user controls the experience and is free to enjoy that experience as they want.
They was proven extremely effective as all elements are at the forefront of consumers’ minds due to their soulful essence, creating strong and emotional brand associations.
