Case Study Building a Better Foundation

About The Client

Since their inception in 1976, Mitchell Wall Architecture and Design has made it their mission to create beautiful spaces for their customers. Specializing in residential architecture and interior design, they aim to make clients’ dreams a reality, overseeing projects from the initial site visit and design development to the final construction. Their top-quality work and expert knowledge has landed them local and national recognition.

Client Challenge

When Mitchell Wall engaged Timmermann Group, an architect marketing agency, to spearhead a complete digital marketing renovation (complete with a total rebranding effort, concentrated social media campaigns, and a new website), they were looking to set the stage for the future of their business and what it represented. Previous efforts lacked consistency and did little to highlight their outstanding architectural accomplishments. Their marketing efforts needed to be representative of, and embrace their position as an industry leader in custom home design.

How TG Helped

While it was important for us to showcase Mitchell Wall’s work, we wanted to do so in a way that would also add value to the user experience. With the addition of blogs, before and after photos, project renderings, testimonials and process overviews, we’ve been able to balance the beautiful visuals with key messaging and value propositions that speak to Mitchell Wall’s extensive knowledge and capabilities.

Strategic Messaging

It was important that all visual mediums (social media, the new website, etc.) not just showcase Mitchell Wall’s work— which speaks for itself—but add value to the overall user experience. By incorporating blogs, before and after photos, project renderings, testimonials, and process overviews into our ongoing marketing strategies, we’ve been able to balance the beautiful visuals with key messaging and value propositions that speak to MItchell Wall’s extensive knowledge and range of expertise and capabilities.

Rebranding Efforts

Any complete rebranding effort, especially one of this caliber, requires research, collaboration, and creativity on all parties involved. Drawing inspiration from the German Bauhaus movement of the early 1900s, our designers crafted a modernized brand style that pays homage to the Mitchell Wall history while celebrating the company’s growth and influence (complete with an all new logomark—the centerpiece of the renovated Mitchell Wall brand).

Brand Building

From the start, we sought to build an engaging brand presence with content that spoke to their attention to detail and quality of work. We also began connecting with influential designers, architects and similar accounts to help foster community engagement. Now Mitchell Wall is frequently highlighted on other notable accounts and publications.

Lead Generation

Aside from increasing awareness and engagement, the team at Mitchell Wall needed help generating more quality leads. With our strategic messaging and brand building strategies in place, we began crafting an ad strategy designed to drive on-site actions and goal completions. With a mix of cold targeting and remarketing efforts in place, we’ve been able to build top-performing audiences and messaging that speaks to these individuals’ needs.

New Site

Further enhancing the rollout of the Mitchell Wall brand was without a doubt our biggest undertaking: a brand new website. Launched in January 2021, the Mitchell Wall site would function as an interactive portfolio of Mitchell Wall’s architectural achievements while spotlighting their unique processes and areas of expertise. By showcasing the quality of work synonymous with the iconic Mitchell Wall name, this site would fast become an impactful resource for potential clients and lovers of modern architectural design.

SEO

We also worked with Mitchell Wall to develop an SEO strategy to improve their search rankings for top local keywords. We conducted keyword research, SEO copywritting and on-page optimization to build a strategy that would ensure they outranked the competition. Since the implementation of these efforts, Mitchell Wall has been ranking #1 for the keyword phrase “residential architecture St Louis” and now ranks #1 for additional related terms.
