In order to differentiate William Lyon Homes’ brand from traditional “cookie cutter” active adult communities, Hayes Martin Associates created a paradigm that reflects the aspirations of today’s 55+ homebuyers — active adults focused on living vibrantly, independently and socially. The team developed a “Live More and Settle Less” theme, which runs throughout the Ovation brand — from the meaningful “Ovation” name, refreshing color scheme and contemporary logo to the authentic messaging and overarching lifestyle promise of individuality, social connection, spontaneity and comfort. Through Hayes Martin’s ingenuity and strategic planning, this competitive new William Lyon Homes’ brand is making its mark on the active adult market segment and captivating the more discerning 55+ homebuyers.

“William Lyon Homes has been with our agency for a decade, and we were thrilled to have this opportunity to develop an entirely new brand for them. Our team at Hayes Martin is incredibly passionate about what we do, and we’re delighted by how powerfully the Ovation brand has been received,” said Sandy Keedy, President and Creative Director of Hayes Martin Associates, Inc. “55+ homebuyers are one of the fastest growing segments in the country and it was a privilege to help one of our most valued clients break into this market with a distinction that will make them stand apart from competitors.”
