Woodlea A New Community

Silver 

Project Overview

Woodlea sets a new benchmark for suburban living. Located 29km from Melbourne’s CBD, and set to provide a projected 7,000 new homes, the vision and planning behind this huge development was momentous. As part of the Herald Sun’s ‘Future Melbourne’ campaign Hoyne created a series of illustrations to spark excitement around the next product launch. They successfully reinvigorated the brand and brought to life Woodlea’s position as a richer community with strong connections and a greater, more exciting future.

Project Brief

The early success of the project has been phenomenal, with Woodlea achieving recognition as Australia’s fastest selling community in 2016. In 2017 Woodlea partnered with the Herald Sun as part of their ‘Future Melbourne’ campaign. Hoyne was briefed to create a campaign to build the Woodlea brand and generate excitement around the launch of the new Woodlea Townhouse product.

Project Innovation/Need

We leveraged the existing brand equity, evolving the original campaign to give it a youthful facelift that would appeal to a younger, more urban demographic and ensure that the Woodlea story remained relevant in the market. The campaign focused on building the Woodlea brand and positioning it as ’A new era of suburban living for Melbourne’s West’.

Design Challenge

Through fairly simple illustrations we had to bring the development to life and show Woodlea as a connected community of the future and the unrivalled benchmark of modern, suburban living in Melbourne. The illustrations had to take the original Woodlea brand and reinvigorate it to appeal to a different target market. The illustrations also had to communicate the scale and sense of community that will underpin the masterplan. However, despite this challenge the illustrations are bold, entertaining and informative.

Effectiveness

The campaign attracted a huge amount of positive comment and interest from both the media and the market.
