Studio Hooton
Reaching new markets with new messaging.
Introducing Studio Hooton
​
Few people can do interior design really well. A lot of people try, but let us tell you, it’s a messy marketplace full of competing styles, budgets and services.
In the midst of this sits Studio Hooton, a thriving residential design studio based in London and Winchester.
The business has gone from strength to strength with a steady stream of exciting projects underway. But when your business grows how do you set yourself apart and convince people that you’re up to the job of transforming their homes?
That’s where core messaging comes in.
What we did
​
A core messaging guide gives brands a formula. A formula through which you can pass your writing to make sure it’s on-brand, on-brief and consistent.
​
When we work on these projects a clear message often stands out head and shoulders above the others. Say, your green credentials counting more than your friendly customer service. With Studio Hooton however the core messages were more evenly spread with multiple messages needed at multiple touchpoints.
​
Every sentence that could be written could be plucked from one of six core messaging themes. So, like any budding interior designer we named each core message and created six messaging rooms:
​
-
Inspiration
-
Inclusivity
-
Reassurance
-
Why Studio Hooton?
-
Results
-
Exclusivity
Each room has its own function and is used for slightly different things. And together they combine to form a messaging house; a show-home that convinces customers Studio Hooton are the right people for the project.

MISSION & PURPOSE
Great messaging starts with knowing who we are and what we stand for. Every brand needs that glorious thing the French call raison d’ être. So what is Studio Hooton’s reason for existence?
To use creative, collaborative interior design and meticulous project execution to unfurl our clients’ imaginations and transform their homes into something that is uniquely theirs.
