BRAND STRATEGY  
  BRIEF Create a new brand for an established City accountancy practice.
 
  APPROACH

By working with the senior partners, we got to the heart of their brand. They combined the large established practice experience of say a Deloitte & Touche with the personal, friendly service only available at smaller firms.

The differentiating factor was a comment they let slip one day; that they had, on average, fewer investigations of their clients by the authorities. This led to the development of the brand strap that defines their attitude: No alarms, no surprises!

It means no alarming and unexpected tax bills, no surprising invoices for their clients. And joins together the world of accountancy with one of Radiohead’s finest.

 
  RESULTS The core work has led to a new image – and new marketing confidence. New logo, stationery and guides in place of traditional brochures have given the company a new attitude. ‘I never thought I would be working for a company like this!’ commented one staff member excitedly on seeing the new look.
