Full Brand Strategy • Full Marketing Strategy • Fractional CMO

The Background.

The industry is fragmented: +11K conveyancers in England and Wales alone. The largest owning 1.23% market share.

The market is wobbly: future supply and demand of homes to buy and/or sell is unpredictable. Home ownership amongst 35-44 has plunged, and 1 in 3 millennials are expected to never own their own home. Mortgage rates are volatile.

The need is unshakeable: over 26 million of us (50% of UK population) own a home. However, 30% are dissatisfied with their solicitors for reasons of slowness, inefficiency, poor customer service, and lack of communication.

The Opportunity for Brevis.

Buying a home is an incredibly high-risk and stressful purchase, because it is highly emotional.

Consumer expectations are high: a personal level of support, frequent communication, full transparency, established rapport, 24/7 availability, and digital solutions that help a sale move quickly and effectively. People are questioning value and seeking the same level of transparency they have come to enjoy in other service industries.

In a sea of dry, characterless websites, forgettable brands, jargon, confusion, and poor customer experience, Brevis is challenging the legal tech category with delightful astonishment. Enter a brand offering a service is that is better, faster, and empathetically client-focused. It’s a complete paradigm shift, for industry and for home buyers and sellers.

“I’ve never worked in an organisation with such a robust strategy in place.

Nada was so useful for me when we started working together, because she had done this strategic preparation for Brevis. She had worked with the team as a founding influencer to put everything in place. And to really help develop the brand and communications approach and the values.

There were no holes. No gaps. No questions that hadn’t been covered. I didn’t need to spend time going over old ground and the strategy’s robustness allowed us to quickly advance operationally.

But then her relationship with us didn’t stop. She didn’t walk away. She was still very much part of the team and what I valued was knowing that Nada’s commitment to the organisation wasn’t short term. It felt authentic. She really cared and she would always give me the best advice because she wanted the company to work.”

It’s not theoretical stuff. It’s all focused on ‘is this really going to work in day-to-day environment?” And for me, that’s the most effective part of the work that Nada did.”
