Trade ME

The new life store

Origins

In 2023, Trade Me launched its new brand platform, The New Life Store, supported by the integrated marketing campaign In With the New across all its brand and sub-brands.

This was a key moment to refine and strengthen Trade Me’s brand identity across three major business verticals: Motors, Jobs, and Property.

Challenge

How do we leverage the success of Trade Me’s in with the new brand platform launch to evolve and modernise the brand, to position Trade Me as the first choice of platform for Kiwi to find their dream property, car and occupation?

The
Opportunity

Aligning our Brand Platform

The brand platform needed to be tailored and refined to better align with Trade Me’s evolving identity.

High Volume Production Challenges

Over 1,000+ assets had to be produced under tight deadlines, requiring streamlined workflows and asset management.

Ineffective Messaging

Our creative approach needed to change as it relied on word-heavy assets like slam poetry, which our audience research showed was ineffective.
