Delivering visual impact across the skyline

Astley is proud to support True Student with bold and high-impact brand signage and high-level installations across their growing UK estate of luxury student accommodation. This dynamic brand in the Student Accommodation Sector creates immersive, lifestyle-focused environments tailored for the new generation of students.

True Student’s brand identity is vibrant, youthful, and highly experiential—reflected in the scale and visibility of their building signage. Astley has delivered installations at flagship locations such as Glasgow and Swansea, with large-format branding that makes a statement from afar.

The requirement

Like most student accommodation brands, creating engaging, welcoming and user-focused spaces is essential in on-boarding new tenants. This sector has become very competitive and lots of new brands are entering with their own unique style to capture the minds of a young audience. How to stand out within this sector and appear innovative and fresh is an integral part of the challenge.

True Student needed a branding partner that was capable to implement their brand in even the most challenging locations, fully understanding the complexities of arranging work at centrally located buildings in busy town and city centres.

With each new site, True Student continues to raise the bar – and we’re thrilled to be helping them do just that.
