Design and communications for the
financial sector
Introduction
Having worked in financial services design and communication for nearly twenty years it is remarkable to look back and see how much has changed.
Many of the brands we originally cut our finance design teeth on, such as Barings, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, Warburg Dillon Read, James Capel, Bankers Trust, Mercury Asset Management—to name but a very few—have been through periods of great change as mergers, acquisitions, corporate restructuring, the emergence of new technologies and new markets have altered the face of global finance. We have also witnessed the trend toward globalisation and then back again to more niche services.
One constant remains however. The need for businesses to communicate strategically, effectively and clearly is vital, as companies compete to gain attention and get their story across to their key stakeholders unambiguously.
As an integrated online and offline agency with a particular expertise in financial services marketing, we offer compelling and campaignable solutions to a wide range of brand and marketing challenges. This brochure gives a brief snapshot of some of our clients and the work we produce for them. We would be delighted to discuss how our approach and service offering could help you.
