A Logo Redesign and Marketing Refresh for an Investment Advisory Firm

Nov 30, 2019

Our client, an investment advisory firm operating in the highly dynamic financial industry, recognized the need to differentiate themselves from competitors and establish a solid brand identity that conveyed trust, expertise, and professionalism. Their existing logo and overall marketing collateral did not effectively reflect their values and failed to resonate with their target audience.

The Challenge: Addressing Branding Gaps and Enhancing Digital Presence

The key challenge our client faced was to create a compelling brand identity that accurately represented their expertise and values, while also improving their digital presence to attract and retain clients in a competitive market. They needed a logo redesign and a comprehensive marketing refresh to align their visual identity and messaging with their core business objectives.

Understanding the Investment Advisory Market

Prior to initiating the logo redesign and marketing refresh, 881 Marketing conducted extensive market research to gain a deep understanding of the investment advisory industry and its target audience. This research allowed us to identify key trends, competitors, and client preferences and ensured that our strategies were tailored to deliver optimal results.

Logo Redesign: Reinforcing the Firm's Identity

Our team of talented graphic designers worked closely with the client to develop a new logo that encapsulated the firm's values and portrayed them as a trusted and forward-thinking partner in financial planning. The logo underwent several iterations, with careful consideration given to color palette, typography, and overall composition.

Colors that Convey Trust and Expertise

After an in-depth analysis of color psychology, we chose a color palette that combined rich blue tones with subtle gold accents. Blue conveys trust, reliability, and stability, while the touch of gold adds a sense of financial success and exclusivity. The final color palette resonated strongly with the firm's target audience and set the foundation for the brand's visual identity.

Typography: A Balance Between Professionalism and Approachability

Selecting the right typography was crucial in conveying our client's expertise while maintaining a sense of approachability. We opted for a modern and clean font that represented professionalism, paired with a complementary font for the tagline, which added a touch of friendliness and approachability to the overall design.

Marketing Refresh: Creating a Cohesive Online Presence

Building on the new logo, we undertook a comprehensive marketing refresh to ensure a consistent and compelling digital presence for the client. Our strategies encompassed various elements, each meticulously crafted to drive engagement, increase brand visibility, and attract potential clients.

Website Redesign and Optimization

The investment advisory firm's website played a central role in our marketing refresh. We redesigned the website, ensuring a modern and intuitive user interface that facilitated easy navigation and highlighted the firm's expertise and services. Additionally, we optimized the website for search engines, incorporating relevant keywords and ensuring fast loading times for an enhanced user experience.

Engaging Content: Informative and Relevant

To establish the firm as an industry thought leader, we developed a content strategy that focused on creating high-quality, informative, and relevant articles and blog posts. These pieces of content demonstrated the firm's expertise, provided valuable insights to clients, and boosted organic visibility through search engine optimization techniques.

Social Media Marketing: Connecting with the Target Audience

Social media platforms offered an excellent opportunity to engage with the investment advisory firm's target audience. We crafted a comprehensive social media marketing strategy, leveraging platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter to share insightful content, engage in industry discussions, and foster meaningful connections. Regular updates and timely interactions helped build a community around the brand, driving brand awareness and loyalty.

Paid Advertising: Ensuring Maximum Reach

In addition to organic strategies, we implemented targeted paid advertising campaigns to reach a wider audience and drive traffic to the firm's website. Our team meticulously identified relevant keywords, optimized ad copy, and optimized bidding strategies to ensure the client's budget was utilized effectively, maximizing return on investment.

The Results: A Stronger Brand and Enhanced Digital Presence

The logo redesign and marketing refresh led to significant improvements in our client's brand perception and digital presence. The investment advisory firm experienced a notable increase in website traffic, engagement metrics, and brand recognition within their target market. The overall success of the project can be attributed to the synergy between the logo redesign and the comprehensive marketing refresh strategies.

Positive Client Feedback and Increased Trust

Following the implementation of the new logo and the marketing tactics, our client received positive feedback from their existing clients, who expressed a heightened sense of trust and confidence in the firm. The cohesive visual identity and the informative content shared through the marketing refresh initiatives solidified the client's reputation as a reliable and knowledgeable partner in financial planning.

Higher Conversion Rates and Improved Return on Investment

The enhancements made to the investment advisory firm's digital presence yielded tangible results in terms of conversion rates and return on investment. With an optimized website, engaging content, and targeted paid advertising strategies, the firm experienced a significant increase in client inquiries and conversions. The client's investment in the logo redesign and marketing refresh showcased a substantial positive return on investment.
