Understanding the challenge

In a care sector defined by emotional decision-making, strict regulation, and increasing competition, Coate Water Care needed a brand and digital presence that reflected its compassionate ethos and premium offering. From the outset, our challenge was to position the group as a provider of choice—not only for families seeking high-quality care but also for staff looking for rewarding careers in care.

Strategic brand development for long-term value

At the heart of our approach was the belief that a powerful brand is more than just a logo, it’s a story that resonates with the people who matter most. Jazzbones worked with Coate Water Care to develop a brand proposition that would encapsulate their values and guide every communication: “We care because you care.”

This message became a unifying thread, used consistently across all nine care homes, helping to build brand trust, emotional connection, and sector credibility. Our brand development process included:

  • In-depth stakeholder workshops with senior leadership
  • Competitor and market research to identify gaps and opportunities
  • Strategic positioning of Coate Water Care as a high-quality, family-run alternative to larger national providers

From this foundation, we built a full brand system that included:

  • A modern yet timeless visual identity
  • Brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all marketing materials
  • Bespoke sub-brands for each care home that retained a sense of individuality while aligning to the group’s core brand
  • Tone of voice development to reflect empathy, reassurance and trust

The result? A brand that not only communicates professionalism and care but also supports staff recruitment, resident retention, and business growth.

A three-phase digital transformation

Recognising that families often begin their care journey online, we designed and built three iterations of Coate Water Care’s website over the years—each reflecting new digital standards, enhanced SEO strategies, and better user journeys.

The latest site was developed with:

  • Responsive mobile-first design
  • Location-specific SEO optimisation (e.g. “care homes in Swindon”, “residential dementia care in Warwickshire”)
  • Video and photography that humanised the experience and built trust
  • Streamlined enquiry forms and call-to-actions to increase conversion

This digital transformation wasn’t just cosmetic—it delivered tangible business value through increased enquiries, improved time on site, and a measurable uptick in conversion rates.
