The change

Chester Zoo lives and breathes conservation. Strategic partnerships are crucial to delivering that purpose, collectively generating the revenue and value to create a sustainable future in which nature survives and thrives.

We reviewed existing marketing materials and held Q&A sessions with the partnerships team to understand their broad portfolio of partners and shared ambitions.

Offering a fresh perspective, we then designed a flexible master toolkit with a clear proposition and sharper, more consistent messaging.

A new introductory presentation and film also now give the team a single source of truth – making it easier to tailor the Chester Zoo story, communicate to different audiences and turn partnership opportunities into positive progress.
