    RAISING THE PROFILE OF A LEADING SET OF CHAMBERS


    Background

    The move to new premises was seen as a major marketing opportunity to raise Chamber's profile.

    Image & Awareness Study


    At the outset of the project, it became clear that the forthcoming move had raised an important internal debate regarding the Set's name.

    Ridley Fleming recommended carrying out a brand awareness and perception review with a sample of Chamber's clients to determine what impact a change of name would have.

    The findings revealed that Chamber's name was viewed by several clients as a brand in its own right. The review was also able to identify the brand's inherent strengths and weaknesses.

    There were many positive attributes associated with the existing name. It was felt that a change of name might result in the loss of several years' valuable brand building and also cause confusion in the marketplace. As a result it was decided that Chambers should retain its existing name and build on the strengths associated with it.

    Ridley Fleming also used the findings to develop a detailed design brief for a new corporate identity, brochure and related materials.

    Launch Events

    Ridley Fleming project-managed 3 major launch events to which Chamber's clients, members of the Bench and Bar and press were invited. The Lord Chief Justice was guest of honour and officiated at the opening ceremony.

    Seminar Programme

    Following on from the launch events, a seminar programme was put in place to draw existing and prospective clients to the new premises. The topics for the programme were identified by research amongst clients to identify those areas of greatest interest and value. The forum has allowed Chambers senior and junior barristers to meet with guests and discuss important aspects of the law within a structured yet semi-informal environment.
