Animated rebrand by Whale

Manchester based animation studio, Image Foundry have recently completed a rebrand undertaken by Whale Marketing.

The re brand reflects the studios restructure which now encompasses four dedicated divisions for the game, movie, property and advertising industries.

“When we first started working with Image Foundry two years ago they were mainly focussed on creating CGI for the property market,” said Whale’s Managing Director, Hannah Whale. “We helped highlight other areas of Image Foundry’s success which led to them to re-evaluate their product offering to reflect their experience in other sectors.”

Whale add CT Glass to their client portfolio

We are pleased to introduce a new retained client to our portfolio, CT Glass.

CT Glass, independent processor of toughened glass, will be directed by Whale’s Managing Director, Hannah Whale (formally of Pilkington Glass).

“Our first task is to create a new modern website for CT Glass; the brief is to create a site that doesn’t conform to those traditionally preferred by industrial companies. We want CT to stand out from other people in the industry and for it to reflect CT’s architectural offerings.”

Other glass clients include Pilkington, Independent Glass (IG) and Brownhills Glass.
