Socialite Group

We make sure word gets around. A rebrand and a site for a Toronto social agency.

Recorded from the live site at socialitegrp.com

The brief

Socialite makes brands worth talking about. Its own brand had to be the proof: loud where it counts, tasteful everywhere else, and impossible to mistake for another agency.

Socialite Group is a Toronto social media and creative agency working with fitness, beauty, hospitality, fashion and real estate brands. It had the work and the clients but no voice of its own. The brief was a rebrand first, then a site built on the same system, so the identity, the deck and the website all speak with one voice.

How it was made

  1. One line to build on

    We make sure word gets around. The line came first, and the rest followed it: heavy Archivo italics that sound like word of mouth, with a Bodoni italic for the words that should feel whispered.

  2. Blush, blue, black

    Black ink, white, and two grounds, blush and blue, that rotate section by section. Stickers and collaged images do the shouting, so the type never has to.

Socialite Group: An agency without a voice

An agency without a voice

Socialite had good clients and good work, and a brand that could have belonged to anyone. For an agency that sells attention, that was the problem to solve first, so the project started as a rebrand, not a website.

Word of mouth, as a brand

Everything grew from one line: we make sure word gets around. Heavy italic type, stickers and collaged photos make the site feel like something passed hand to hand, the way a recommendation is.

Chapter 3 of 4

Blush, blue and black

The identity deck locked the system before a page was built: black ink, white, a blush ground and a blue ground that take turns down the page. The site and the deck share every token, so the brand reads the same everywhere it shows up.

Socialite Group: Show the receipts

Show the receipts

Agencies love to describe themselves. Socialite shows its clients instead, four case studies told in the clients' words under a section called The Receipts, followed by straight answers about cost and timelines before anyone has to ask.
