City living is transactional and hard enough. Alfred was built to make city-living easier offering in-home services, personal assistance, and building management across 20+ cities. When they came to us, we made one quick call; drop the ‘Hello,’ and create a new brand identity to signal a new era in the company’s history

Problem Alfred had grown from a personal-assistant app into an essential service platform embedded in the buildings and lives of urban residents, but the brand name still sounded like an app. The brand needed to grow up without losing the warmth that made them trusted.

Solution Alfred, not Hello Alfred. Confident, spare, built around one idea: Alfred gives you your time back. The rebrand drove an increase in downloads and first-service orders within the first year. Alfred has since raised $125M and expanded to over 40 major cities.

brand  The new brand identity centers around the mark and the exponential help that Alfred can effect. A simple dot represented Alfred and core messaging used this system to insert Alfred services into scenes of everyday life allowing users to understand the breadth of offerings Alfred provides them.

SUB-BRANDING To help differentiate the brand and its audiences, we developed a sub-brand called Alfred OS which offers property managers a technology suite to help them manage leases and service their residents.
