The difference was in the advice. The brand needed to show it.

Crowies competes in a market where large DIY retailers dominate attention. Its specialist paint knowledge and local expertise needed to become a clear, memorable reason to visit.

We made that expertise the heart of the brand: “We Know Paint!” An energetic identity and entertaining campaign gave Crowies a distinctive voice, supported by a long-term partnership across advertising, packaging, store design and digital.

Listen to the business.Bring out its character.

Discovery included conversations with leadership, store managers, the sales team and customers. It connected the brand work to how the business operates and the value people find in its stores.

The creative expression puts personality behind the proposition. Bright colour and characterful campaign work make specialist expertise approachable, with applications that can carry the idea from advertising to the shop floor.

I love the fresh brand the team at Brighter have created for us.
