In 2020, Heller Built approached us with only a name, looking to build on existing name equity to establish a new company that provides holistic custom home building services. Our visual and verbal identity system, custom website, brand awareness campaign, and continued content strategy have established HB as a leader in their industry in 4 years.
Decades of experience and family values were a firm foundation to build on Heller Built’s name. Through a concise verbal identity and process messaging, Heller Built delivers their process—what sets them apart from their competitors—with ease and consistency, and builds reputation in their name with each completed estate home, equine farm, and historic restoration. Calculated documentation of their finished projects and process build a robust brand presence across platforms, providing followers with continuing proof that Heller Built homes are built to last with architectural integrity.
