Oceanstyle is a sister company of Burgess, one of the world’s leading luxury yacht brokers and charterers. Cogent has worked with their marketing manager, Hanneke Maljaars, since the company’s inception.

“Oceanstyle was formed in 2005 and specialises in production and semi production yachts in the €2 million to €10 million bracket. Naturally we are targeting an affluent market but our customers are perhaps younger and more sports minded than for the large yacht category.

Cogent Design was recommended to us by a sister company. Their team took a verbal brief and developed our entire identity from scratch, working closely with us from the start.

They started by showing us some revealing research into how luxury brands express themselves visually using space, typography, colours etc. One of their design concepts used yellow, black and grey and it immediately struck us that this would appeal to our target audience and differentiate us from our competitors especially as we do a lot of magazine advertising and need to stand out.

 

With their technical and creative expertise they developed our corporate logo, built and assisted us with our advertising campaigns, provided web solutions and worked with us on stand designs. We believe they have made a big contribution in helping us to build a strong global brand.

Working with Cogent Design over the years it is clear that they understand the rigors of international yacht sales and marketing. They have consistently provided an outstanding service; they have always been responsive to our needs and changing requirements in the design and development throughout the past 5 years. The professional attention they provided has been second to none. I would certainly recommend them to any company wishing to create a new identity, and much, much more!"
