Leading brand response specialist The Agency wins the brand refreshment, advertising, and design and print brief for one of the UK's top holiday companies.

TheAgency has been appointed by Rex Resorts, the UK’s leading Caribbean hotel and African Safari operator, to refresh its brand positioning in order to make it more relevant to a newer, travel savvy target audience and to give it a sharper commercial focus given the market forecasts for 2009.

Currently, the brand attracts many honeymooners as well as the older (forty plus) holidaymaker but wants to address a younger clientele and families generally.  TheAgency has also been appointed to handle all the press advertising and brochure and literature design for the company, across all its global interests.

Rex Brand Manager Atlyn Forde says, “We were very impressed by how TheAgency strategically links together activity across so many varieties of media, particularly online. The Rex brand and proposition will be focussed through the press advertising and the brochures and used to drive direct sales. Atlyn continues, "TheAgency has come up with an inventive and appropriate strategy for us, powered by commercially creative ideas. I believe their work will deliver a measured and improved response on the company’s marketing budgets over the coming year.”

Amy Stobie, co-founder of TheAgency adds, “It will be very exciting to work on this account and we can bring about some fundamental changes that will help to strengthen the Rex brand and at the same time make it more profitable." Stobie concludes, "The refreshed branding will enable Rex to address a younger age group in the increasingly competitive holiday market and also start to move their price point up at a time when there is less money being spent on foreign travel.'
