about the client

Client Intro

Barker-Whittle has earned its reputation the hard way — through decades of exceptional craftsmanship delivered to some of Perth’s most prestigious homes and commercial properties. A name well-known in the city’s premium suburbs, their work speaks for itself.
The challenge was making sure the right people were listening.

The Challenge

When Barker-Whittle came to us, the gap between their reputation and their digital presence was significant. Their website was dated, their lead generation inconsistent, and their marketing disjointed — unable to attract or convert the calibre of client their work deserved.

More critically, they had no system to track leads from source to sale. Enquiries were coming in through various channels with no way to measure quality, follow up systematically, or understand which marketing efforts were actually driving revenue.

They had the craft. They needed the infrastructure.

Our Approach

We began with a full audit across brand, website, marketing channels, data and user behaviour. What we found was a business with outstanding real-world equity that was being significantly undersold online.

Our strategy was never simply to make Barker-Whittle look better — it was to rebuild their entire growth infrastructure from the ground up. Brand repositioning, a new website, high-performance campaigns, and a CRM system that would give them complete visibility over their pipeline for the first time.

what we delivered

What We Delivered

Brand Strategy & Market Repositioning

We facilitated a series of strategy workshops to define Barker-Whittle’s ideal client profile, brand voice and market position. The outcome was a sharply defined identity: Perth’s premium painting and decorating partner for luxury residential and high-end commercial projects. This repositioning shaped every subsequent creative and marketing decision.

Custom Website Design & Development

We designed and built a bespoke WordPress website engineered for the luxury market:

  • Elevated visual aesthetic with premium photography and refined typography
  • Portfolio structure designed to showcase project quality and scale
  • Clear, compelling messaging aligned with the aspirations of their ideal client
  • Built-in quote funnel to capture and pre-qualify incoming leads
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading and fully optimised for conversion

Google Ads & PPC

Intent-driven campaigns targeting homeowners, builders and developers in Perth’s wealthiest postcodes. Each campaign was structured with bespoke ad copy, tight geo-targeting, and dedicated landing pages — maximising relevance and minimising wasted spend.

Search Engine Optimisation

A long-term SEO strategy built around high-value, commercially relevant keywords. Barker-Whittle now holds top-3 Google positions for over 40 search terms — generating consistent organic traffic from clients actively seeking premium painting services.

Social Media Campaigns

A multi-platform social strategy built for both brand elevation and performance:

  • Instagram — showcasing premium project photography to aspirational audiences
  • Facebook — community engagement, retargeting and local brand awareness
  • TikTok — behind-the-scenes content that humanises the brand and reaches new audiences

CRM Integration & Management

We implemented and manage a fully customised CRM that transformed how Barker-Whittle handles their pipeline:

  • Centralised lead capture from website, Google Ads and social platforms
  • Automated lead assignment and follow-up sequences
  • Custom pipelines for quoting, scheduling and client onboarding
  • Real-time deal value tracking and lead source attribution
  • Email marketing integration for long-term nurture campaigns
