  • 08.05 MercuryCloud creates upmarket brand positioning for luxury condo development

    SEATTLE, August 2005 – MercuryCloud announces the completion of the Lumen campaign – a full identity, lifestyle and imagery project surrounding the development of high-end residential condominiums being constructed by Landstar Development.

    Landstar enlisted David Hewitt, FAIA, head of the renowned Hewitt Architects, and award-winning interior designer Garret Cord Werner, to create a condominium structure that would standout in Seattle’s highly competitive condo market. The buildings will feature translucent concrete, reconfigurable wall systems within living spaces and highly aesthetic design.

    MercuryCloud partnered with Realogics to define target demographics and a marketing strategy for Lumen. Together they mapped a campaign that included branding the visual attributes of the property, drafting a positioning statement, naming and creating an identity, launching a multi-spectrum media campaign and designing a sales center.

    MercuryCloud also crafted the Lumen Design Studio, allowing potential buyers to experience first-hand the world-class architecture, luxury interiors and lifestyle amenities that are unique to Lumen. The Sales Center features exhibits and interactive media to showcase the neighborhood and benefits, including a map and availability chart that automatically updates when units are sold.

    Applying the positioning statement of “Enlightened Living,” MercuryCloud developed an evocative brand that conveys a sense of tranquility, balance and function in urban living. This recognizable identity was showcased in various print, broadcast and interactive media, including newspaper and magazine advertisements, party invitations, television commercials, interactive media and the Lumen website.
