When we think of brands, we often think in terms of visuals. We think logos, fonts, and colours. But rarely do we think of words and sounds.

I’m sold.” Even the property descriptions have more personality such as, “you’ll love the butler’s kitchen (and a place to hide the mess).” This playful and engaging approach makes the brand more approachable and memorable.
Since Curtis & Blair have this distinctive voice, it means that when they’re having fun with their clients using casual and humorous language, it brings a consistent brand experience even when they pop online later.
