Keeping the Bainbridge Island community in focus, our naming strategy considers both the neighboring businesses and what would strike a chord with residents and visitors.

Revitalizing The Cove to a vibrant, central commercial building on Bainbridge Island.

Envisioning a revitalized, dynamic downtown Bainbridge Island location, our client has a dream for a commercial mixed-use community space featuring restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. The project began with the client’s vision of a lively location where the community could gather and the architectural blueprints for a renovation needing to come together. Coates Design Architecture’s plan for modernizing the building incorporates warm wood beams, rich black metal railings, large picture windows, and a floor-to-ceiling plant wall—all considerations to incorporate into the reimaging of the space.

Thoughtful strategy sessions with the client and the architects help to create our brand strategy, begin the naming process, and align the vision for the renovated commercial mixed-use building. Throughout the branding journey, we meticulously consider elements pivotal to the name and brand, encompassing the newly established brand promise, target audience, location, neighboring businesses, community environment, and relevant surroundings. The close collaboration with stakeholders and architects ensures our work on The Cove progresses in tandem with decisions regarding the renovations.

The Cove Brand
Working with the Coates Design Architecture, our team ensures the look and feel of The Cove aligns with their vision for the space. The environment of the building, the architectural materials selected for the location, and the client’s desire for a lively personality are all carefully considered factors for designing the corporate identity and brand execution materials. The result? A vibrant, modern hub nestled in the center of town for all ages to enjoy restaurants, offices, and retail experiences.

The Cove’s integrated marketing campaign highlights offerings for target audiences across multiple touchpoints.

The Cove Website
The Cove’s responsive website's primary goal is to attract potential tenants who long to create a custom unique space for their business in a centralized location. Our creative strategy accounts for the need to appeal to visitors and tourists unfamiliar with the area, entice the community to visit the location, and attract future new businesses and tenants using dynamic content and visuals. Architectural renderings and stock photography showcase a fun, lively space while the renovations continue.
The Cove Leasing Sign
Capturing the attention of the community and visitors is an important factor in the branding, with the immediate goal of attracting new businesses with leasing opportunities. The look and feel of The Cove needs to speak to all of these audiences and give the newly renovated building the tone of a vibrant, inviting place to be.
The Cove Magazine Ad
For this commercial real estate project, getting leasing information out to the intended demographic is critical to its success. Through all the touchpoints, our strategic approach ensures our content marketing, advertising placement, design, and messaging work together to speak to the broad target audience and promote the unique selling proposition.
The Cove Tote Bag
While the primary goal of the print and digital marketing of The Cove is to entice prospective building tenants, secondarily it needs to speak to the Bainbridge Island community. The fresh and vibrant personality of the brand communicates the newly renovated space will be a top downtown destination.
