Case studies in point

MoreySmith

Challenge

MoreySmith is a multi-award winning interior design and architecture studio based in London. Approaching its 30th anniversary in 2023, the studio was looking for a  communications strategy to raise the profile of its senior leadership team and to promote several landmark projects due to complete during this time period, including CBRE’s new headquarters, Henrietta House.

Solution

Higginson has amplified MoreySmith’s industry-leading expertise with a three-year strategy, incorporating reactive and proactive pitching and securing feature-led pieces for its commercial, residential and lifestyle projects.

Outcome

In 2021 alone, Higginson secured 46 pieces of coverage with a combined online readership of more than one billion people. Highlights include The Financial Times, The Telegraph, City AM, Frame Magazine and Property Week.

Case studies in point

Castleforge

Challenge

Since its formation in 2010, Castleforge Partners has been a highly successful real estate investment firm, with a strong portfolio of assets in the residential, commercial and hospitality industries across the UK and Europe. But compared to their rivals in the commercial property investment space, they remained relatively unknown.

Solution

Higginson created a coordinated communications strategy to elevate Castleforge above its competitors centred around key messages looking towards the future of the office and work. Coverage was gained across a range of titles including City AM, Yahoo! News, The Independent and MSN Money

Outcome

In March 2020 Castleforge Partners asked us to compare our work to six of their rivals all of whom were exceeding Castleforge in terms of media share of voice. By the end of 2020, we had to create a new set of larger rivals as we were so far ahead of those we were originally evaluating against.

In 2021, Higginson generated a further 117 pieces of coverage in publications including City AM, Property Week, BusinessLive, Estates Gazette, CoStar and Property Funds World.

I couldn’t recommend Higginson highly enough. They have outperformed expectations on every measure.
