Case Study · Contractors & Trades · 2025
Meridian builds custom homes and cottages across Muskoka and the GTA. We gave them a brand worth putting on a site sign — a new logo and identity — then put it to work with Google Ads.

01 · The Brief
Craftsmanship without a calling card.
Meridian’s builds speak for themselves — lakefront homes engineered to survive Muskoka winters. Their brand didn’t. No consistent logo, no identity, and ad spend going out under a name nobody recognised.
The brief was two jobs in one: design an identity that matches the quality of the work, then use it to make the ads pay.

02 · What We Did
An identity built like their houses.
We designed the MC cube monogram and full identity system — logotype, palette drawn from their own builds, typography and applications from site signage to proposals.
With the brand in place, we rebuilt their Google Ads around high-intent local searches: custom builds, cottages, design-build. Every click lands on a brand that looks like the work costs what it costs.

03 · The Outcome
A brand that pays for itself.
Revenue is up 31% since the rebrand and campaign restructure. The identity now leads every touchpoint — signage, ads, proposals — and the pipeline is booked with the kind of projects Meridian wants to build.
