In the spring of 2025, we began a collaboration with Countryside Hotels with the mission to develop a long-term communication concept that defines the brand’s identity and how it should be perceived by its audience. The goal was to strengthen brand awareness, clarify positioning and create a consistent, inspiring foundation for all communication.

As a starting point, we worked from the existing graphic profile and visual identity, and developed a framework that could be rolled out across digital platforms, social media, print and on-site communication. The concept acts as the red thread that ties the brand together and builds recognition and trust.

The work centered on Countryside Hotels’ role as a trusted curator of Sweden’s finest privately owned hotels. In a market where many hotels claim to offer unique or extraordinary experiences, the risk of disappointment is always present. Countryside Hotels eliminates that risk by offering a carefully selected collection of hotels that have been chosen for their quality, atmosphere and service. The message is clear: under the Countryside Hotels umbrella, guests will only find hotels that live up to high expectations.

We emphasized what unites the hotels: genuine, personal hospitality, locally sourced and well-crafted food, and an uncompromising love for detail. In the visual and verbal expression, we highlighted the interplay between the grand and the intimate – from sweeping landscapes to lovingly set tables.

The result is a communication concept that reinforces Countryside Hotels’ position as the natural choice for guests seeking memorable experiences across Sweden’s most scenic locations. With the core message “Great hotel experiences are born out of a love for the smallest details”, the brand now has a strong, unified platform to build from, both in the short and long term.
