McGrath Estate Agents

Brand identity program for one of Australia's best-known real estate brands, repositioning the business around a more human and knowledgeable role in the property journey.

Overview

McGrath has long been known for exceptional customer service and innovation, but a changing property market had made the category feel increasingly cold and transactional. The opportunity was to reconnect the brand with what had always set it apart — a genuine commitment to its customers.

Results

McGrath describes the brand refresh as the “biggest brand change in over 25 years.” The company is setting its sights on becoming Australia’s No. 1 agency, with ambitions of “achieving double-digit market share over the next five years”. “We’re very excited. We believe we have the platform, the team, and the brand to make it happen,” says Founder and CEO John McGrath in February 2024.
