Chapel Stud

The Aim: rebrand Bucklands Farm & Stud to Chapel Stud following its relocation, whilst maintaining the company’s established brand values. Raise awareness of the rebrand and relocation, as well as promote their stallions.

The Solution

Rebrand

A new brand identity was developed in liaison with a graphic designer, comprising new logo, colours, font and ‘brand feel’ inspired by the classical landscape of the Malvern Hills. New stationery was also designed.

Website

Pace provided project management and copy writing services to help develop and build a new website www.chapelstud.co.uk working with a website agency. Stunning photography complemented with key information resulted in an inviting and factual website promoting all aspects of the stud, in particular the three stallions.

PR

A press release was sent out to key racing and bloodstock publications to announce the relocation and to promote Chapel Stud and its services, as well as remind breeders of the stallions.

Brochure

The annual stallion brochure was redesigned and updated, with a strong visual element across each page. Pace provided copy, edited and proofed the brochure, promoting each stallion’s individual strengths as well as the increased benefits of the relocation to Chapel Stud. The brochure was sent to thoroughbred breeders and bloodstock agents in the UK and Ireland.

Advertising and Media Buying

A series of stallion adverts were designed to reflect the new brand, including success style adverts for the winning progeny of the stallions.  Pace was also responsible for media buying, copy writing, editing, proofing and submission to the publications of these adverts.

  • The press release resulted in coverage in all the key bloodstock publications, along with follow-up features comprising interviews and photography.
  • Both existing and new clients were informed of the relocation and rebrand from Bucklands Farm & Stud to Chapel Stud.
  • A greater awareness of the stud, its stallions and their strengths was achieved across a wider audience.
