English Heritage is embarking on a new brand guidelines project and has appointed creativebrief to handle a review of potential agencies.

Kirstie Holmes, Creative Services Manager for English Heritage said - 'we are looking to achieve greater consistency in the application of our brand style across the wide range of our communications materials, whilst also giving them a more contemporary and accessible feel '.

English Heritage is planning to make an appointment in July and roll out the new guidelines by September 2005. 10 member agencies have been involved in the review.

English Heritage is also the latest client to have signed up to the creativebrief filter. As this review has been publicised, English Heritage has saved considerable time by outsourcing the management of supplier approaches to creativebrief.
