New brand home: How Zoopla manages all things brand in Frontify
Zoopla is a property website and app in the United Kingdom, with over 1 million properties available for prospective homebuyers and renters. When Zoopla underwent a major rebrand in 2021, the team needed to find an efficient way to manage and house their new brand. Frontify has become their single source of truth for all things brand, helping the Zoopla team collaborate smoothly, save time, and increase consistency across all touchpoints.
A rebranding challenge
In 2021, Zoopla introduced My Home, a reimagined homeowner experience to give its customers the skills and knowledge to find, buy, sell, and rent homes. The company combined this product launch with a major rebrand — Zoopla wanted to create a more inclusive, friendlier brand that would visualize the “twists and turns” of the home-buying experience.
Zoopla worked with brand consultancy Zag to help with this transformational rebrand. It included a new brand identity, logo, typeface, and graphic system. At the same time, the Zoopla team was working fully remotely, so they needed a way to collaborate easily and manage multiple brand guidelines across different channels and touchpoints.
They started looking for a brand building solution that would help them manage and streamline the roll-out of the new Zoopla brand. Most importantly, they needed a solution that would integrate with their design and CMS tools.

A streetwise solution
One of the main draws of Frontify was its ability to centralize everything related to the new Zoopla brand. All its brand materials, from logo files to detailed brand guidelines, would be stored in one shared location, and everyone could collaborate in the same place.

The Frontify platform could instantly connect their brand and product teams, helping everyone within these teams work closer together. Being able to work in one shared space was a massive benefit, especially at a time when the whole Zoopla team was working remotely.
And it wasn’t just Zoopla’s in-house team that benefited from the Frontify platform. It also made working with external partners, like agencies and freelancers, simpler too.
