Lääne-Viru municipality’s new gateway where community and opportunity meet
In 2022, Lääne-Viru municipality’s development strategy identified a need for a cohesive brand and reputation-building strategy to unlock the region’s full potential. Although the region offers a diverse economy, prime location, and rich cultural heritage, the strengths had been underutilized.
In 2023, a regional brand and strategy for Lääne-Virumaa was launched, now complemented by a web gateway.
The website offers comprehensive insights on what to discover, where to go and stay, and things to do in Lääne-Virumaa, along with practical resources for residents, such as job listings and real estate information. For businesses, it provides details on available grants, networking events, and other local opportunities.
And a lot else that brings out what exactly is #viruful. Something that is difficult to put into words, but can be felt.
Designed with the welcoming essence of Virumaa, the website’s visual language conveys a friendly, inviting brand through soft shapes and a balanced palette of bright and pastel tones.
The toughest test: Lääne-Viru residents have embraced the website
“This is such a well-made, informative, and easy-to-understand information page that, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t find anything to complain about. //…// Really great work! And most importantly—nothing even close to this has ever existed in our county.”
– Aivar Ojaperv on local newspaper Virumaa Teataja
This project is a result of heartfelt collaboration within the community, one we’re proud of and grateful to have been part of. The brand refresh and place marketing strategy aim to turn a new page in the story of Lääne-Virumaa, laying the groundwork for connection and growth.
