Everything But The House

The Marketplace for Uncommon

Everything But The House was founded in 2008 as the premier estate sale marketplace. While this position fueled their growth as a darling startup in the online auction space, in 2019 it didn't accurately reflect the business they conducted on a day-to-day basis. While estate sales are still a valuable piece of the company's identity, their branding didn't speak to their budding consignment and consumer market

We defined a strategy and brand that celebrated what an online auction experience is all about: the "things" we love. Using a framing mechanism as the benchmark for value, the brandmark cycles the word "thing" through different unique items interchangeably, bringing to life the discoverability and fun of the Everything But The House Platform. The end result is a brand that can speak to estate sales, consignment, and consumer markets by uniting these audiences around the love for value and uncommon things. Every item featured in the brand is or was at one time biddable and winnable on Everything But The House.
