background

St Botolph’s
without Aldgate

 St Botolph’s Without Aldgate, a historic church in the City of London, recently celebrated the opening of a newly designed church hall.

Known for its rich heritage and deep community roots, St Botolph’s envisioned this new space as a vibrant hub for commercial events and community activities.

While this milestone offered exciting opportunities, it also required a strategic marketing plan and professional tools to ensure the hall’s success. Recognising these challenges, the church partnered with Connective Vision for expert guidance.

Overcoming

The Challenges

Launching the new hall presented several challenges:

Challenge One: Brand Identity

Establishing a compelling brand identity to attract and convert bookings from diverse clients.

Challenge two: Marketing Collateral

Creating professional marketing collateral showcasing the potential of the Aldgate Centre.

Challenge three: Team Training

Ensuring the team was equipped and ready to handle marketing and client enquiries effectively.

Implementing

Strategic Solutions

Connective Vision approached these challenges by tailoring a strategy that empowered the team, refined the venue’s appeal, and ensured long-term sustainability.

Brand Identity Refinement

Connective Vision  refined the branding guidelines by combining historical elements with a modern aesthetic. This included a refreshed logo, new colour palettes, and a consistent tone across all communications.

Tailored Marketing Materials

We created a suite of professional resources, including brochures, photography, illustrated maps and an upgraded website. These materials were designed to appeal to diverse audiences, from local community groups to corporate clients.

 

Team Empowerment

A series of workshops equipped staff with skills in enquiry conversion and booking management. This ensured the team felt confident and empowered to manage future growth and maximise the number of bookings secured.

The

Results

While it’s too early to measure the full impact, the immediate improvements in the team’s confidence and professionalism were clear. The tailored materials and strategies have set the stage for measurable successes, including increased bookings and stronger client relationships in the near future. The work provided the team with practical tools and a strong foundation for client engagement. The success of the collaboration is reflected in the words of The Reverend Laura Jørgensen below.

“Charlotte was introduced to us just as we were opening a new church hall. She has walked with us step by step through the process of marketing and using our new space. Charlotte brought her calm efficiency, eye for detail and understanding of the bigger picture to every aspect of marketing and we could not recommend her more highly.”
