Next week, IE will be up in Manchester at CRE North, to celebrate as a new Christian charity brand is unveiled.

For hundreds of years, Sons & Friends of the Clergy have been helping clergy and their families in times of need. Next week they will be debuting their new name and brand, which IE Brand has helped them to shape over the last few months.

As part of launch activities at CRE North, the Chief Executive of Sons & Friends, Jeremy Moodey (below left), will be a guest on 'Cindy's Sofa' on Wednesday afternoon, chatting to Cindy Kent MBE about the renaming and what it means for the charity. He'll be joined on the sofa by IE's MD Ollie Leggett (below right).

Of course, there's not much we can say about the new brand until the big reveal next week. What we can say is that it's the result of IE's robust brand consultancy process and a substantial research effort with the charity's external stakeholders. We're extremely proud of the end result. As well as a new logo, brand messaging and visual identity, IE is building a new website for Sons & Friends, to be launched in time for CRE. 

IE – a leading agency for Christian charities

Here at IE we've worked with Christian charities ever since the beginning. Agapé UK was our very first client in 1994, and we're pleased to say we're working with them again in 2019. Since then our many faith-based clients have included Serving in Mission, CHIPS, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Christian Aid, Salvation Army, the Sailors' Society, CPAS, Scripture Union, World Vision, the Church of England, Christian Vision, Lifewords, Open Doors, the Whitgift Foundation, Betel UK, and more. And not forgetting that Ollie is a founder member of Christian Aid's Salt Business Network, 

We're looking forward to catching up with clients past, present, and future at the exhibition!
