Leading Brands And Their Social Activity. Spotlight Focus: Farrow & Ball
Often when you think of a ‘luxurious paint brand’, your mind immediately is drawn to Farrow & Ball.
Farrow & Ball began way back in 1946 with local pioneers John Farrow and Richard Ball, who shared a passion for making rich colours to original formulations using only the finest ingredients.
Associated with being on the more luxurious end of the scale when it comes to paint, the brand has connotations of being simply the best…
But why?
It’s not just down to the eye-catching colours it offers, it’s the clever branding on social media.
Which is why today we are going to strip away the layers of paint and understand how they thrive and have a whopping one million following online.

Nothing draws people in more than being able to envision themselves with something.
Albeit, it’s only paint but the transformation it can make to a room is considerable, and this shows.
Rather than posting images of picture perfect show rooms, Farrow & Ball go for a different approach.
The brand reposts images of other people’s homes to get a window into how other people choose to use the paint.
