The Task

When planning their latest development, Thistleberry Gardens in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Markden Homes turned to Design Office to elevate the project’s marketing and sales presence.

The Design Office team translated the quality of Markden Homes’ offering into a visually compelling, cohesive marketing experience that would attract the right buyers and support the sales process from start to finish.

The Story

Markden Homes, a family run developer established in 2008, has earned a reputation for creating high quality, luxury homes across the North West, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire. In just 14 years, they have grown from a small start up into a developer capable of delivering bespoke family homes on sites of up to 100 plots, including successful collaborations with award winning property companies such as Salboy.

The Work

We approached the Thistleberry Gardens project with a holistic strategy. On site, we designed and installed a full range of signage, from parking and CCTV signs to post mounted boards and individual home signage, ensuring clarity, professionalism and brand consistency across the development. Off site, we produced a complete suite of branded print collateral, including brochures, specification sheets, site plans, leaflets, business cards, NCR pads, quality checklists and certificates. All materials were delivered within a two-day turnaround, resulting in a seamless, visually engaging experience that reflects the quality of Markden Homes’ developments.

To further enhance the customer journey, we designed and produced bespoke branded keyrings and mugs for new homeowners, presented on completion day to create a memorable, premium touchpoint that strengthens the connection between Markden Homes and their buyers.

The Result

Through this partnership, Design Office positioned Thistleberry Gardens as a highly desirable development, combining expert design, strategic brand alignment and rapid delivery. Looking ahead, we are proud to continue working with Markden Homes on all future developments and digital marketing initiatives, ensuring every project benefits from the same high quality, results driven approach.

Design Office continues to establish itself as the go to agency for developers seeking marketing solutions that drive sales, elevate brand perception and create an exceptional customer experience.
