The Context
Gumtree came into the Fold suffering from poor brand perception, with the public seeing it as a ‘place of last resort’ for buying or selling second hand goods.
The Opportunity
The brief was to reinvigorate the brand, while at the same time raising awareness of its wider offering.

We saw an opportunity to take Gumtree from drab to fab, shifting the conversation from functionality to emotion. We tapped into the insight that a purchase on Gumtree isn’t just a transaction; it’s the start of something potentially much more exciting.
