A craft-led campaign for Banham showcasing the artistry behind their locks through photography, web design, and advertising. Targeted at homeowners and design professionals, it elevated product perception and drove a 40% increase in leads, exceeding all expectations.

The Challenge

Hot stumping process

Although Banham is widely recognised for its legacy in security, many potential customers, particularly design-conscious homeowners and trade professionals, weren’t yet familiar with the quality, elegance, and heritage behind the product. The goal was to increase awareness of Banham locks as not just functional security devices, but as premium objects made with care, precision, and history. The campaign needed to drive leads while highlighting British craftsmanship and elevating brand storytelling.

The Process

We began by researching visual languages in craft, heritage, and high-end design advertising. The campaign’s creative direction leaned into a tactile, hands-on look and feel to reflect the product's human touch and luxury finishes. Three photoshoots were conducted across UK manufacturing facilities to capture the making of the locks - focusing on heat, materials, tools, and the people behind the product.

The design work spanned multiple outputs: a conversion-focused landing page, a redesigned homepage slider, a visual content series for social platforms, and printed materials. I led the creative direction, coordinated cross-functional teams, and oversaw the execution of all deliverables.
