1 Introduction
The importance of a strong brand
A strong visual identity, consistently presented, is critical to the success of any new venture – particularly for an internet-based business, and doubly so for a new challenger in a market dominated by one or two huge players.
But a strong visual identity doesn’t just happen by accident. It must be carefully created and managed vigilantly if it is to provide the desired relevance and quality to partner businesses – and communicate the right messages to the consumer.
Together we’re stronger
A unique advantage of Agents’ Mutual is that all member agents have contractually agreed to feature the OnTheMarket.com logo in their communications: print advertising, websites, stationery and window displays. Member agents have also agreed to stop featuring any other competing property portal on any of their marketing material.
This co-branding commitment creates a valuable and strategic source of competitor advantage in the marketplace. As well as leveraging OnTheMarket.com’s marketing budget at little or
no incremental cost, it establishes a link in consumers’ minds between the portal and the offline presence of the member agents – offices, ‘For Sale’ and ‘To Let’ signs and property particulars.
Co-branding reinforces OnTheMarket.com’s positioning in the market and, as the new portal becomes established, will have a reciprocal benefit to the member agents, acting as an endorsement.
If we are to reap the full, mutual benefits of co-branding, we must ensure that OnTheMarket.com’s identity, represented by the logo, is applied consistently and effectively.
This is who we are
Our name is ‘OnTheMarket.com’ – and that’s how it should be typed in running copy, complete with capital ‘O’, ‘T’ and ‘M’ and the ‘.com’
The logo design is based around a map marker, which we believe will resonate strongly with the property-seeking public as a memorable symbol for their property search and indeed its solution. The design is also suggestive of a target and creates the impression of a fresh, vibrant, relevant and mainstream brand.

The shape of the map marker becomes the initial “O” of our brand name. The logotype and the map marker form a strong single element which is a crucial part of the visual identity. The three colour design will help us achieve powerful differentiation from our competitors and serves to underline the “UK-ness” of our primary offering.
The marker element should never be used on its own (except on the OnTheMarket.com portal, where it serves as a marker to locate properties on the map).
Guidelines, not a straitjacket
Please interpret these guidelines to suit your own brand design and creative environments. These guidelines are intended to:
• Outline the components of the OnTheMarket.com logo.
• Demonstrate how the logo should be applied to member agents’ marketing communications.
• Indicate the prominence of the OnTheMarket.com logo on your materials.
Artwork for the logo variations can be found on the Agents’ Mutual website at www.agentsmutual.co.uk/marketing.html.
The artwork available includes versions and treatments for use in specific applications. These versions must never be used except in the environments for which they have been specified.
If you cannot find a solution in the guidelines for a specific application in your marketing materials, please email [email protected].
