Unifying a global brand

Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden needed a unified brand across four distinct divisions. We developed a clear strategy, flexible identity and high-performance website that balance emotional storytelling with practical functionality. The result is a cohesive brand and digital experience that works as both a powerful sales tool and an essential resource, making it easier for clients to navigate, engage and produce world-class films.

Brand Strategy & Identity / Digital & Websites / Film & Animation

A unified brand strategy and identity system brought together the masterbrand and four divisions. Messaging, straplines and photography/film gave each division the flexibility to express its own personality, expertise and offer.

Brand content included copywriting, photography and film, with shoots taking place across the entire studio complex – from backlots and sound stages to prop stores and workshops.

The website combines the masterbrand and four divisions within a single digital platform, with sophisticated navigation between each. Advanced functionality, an interactive map and a secure client area make it an essential production tool, while extensive photography and behind-the-scenes film content capture the excitement and scale of film-making at WBSL.

Since 2017, we have continued to evolve the brand as Warner Bros. Studios expanded – creating new content and marketing materials for new studios, technologies, workshops and facilities. This included the launch of De Lane Lea’s state-of-the-art post production facility in Soho, supported by new photography, film and website design.
