Reval | Branding and Design

Thinking about the derivative life cycle.

There’s an indefinable point in time when a brand gets tired. Maybe what worked before no longer seems to work as well. Maybe competitive pressures require a competitive response. Or maybe it’s simply time to reinvigorate a brand’s potential as a company expands into new markets.

That’s what our client, Reval, asked us to do: establish a global positioning strategy, create clear messaging and develop a bold new branding and design that would visually link the company’s business papers, marketing materials, website, advertising and trade show presence.

Positioning. We embedded the firm’s three core competencies from our new brand positioning statement into a distinctive graphic element with other ‘interchangeable’ data modules to serve as a dynamic and flexible visual backbone. The arrangement and emphasis of the data items can be modified for targeted marketing efforts, to emphasize a specific competency or evolve with Reval’s ever-changing business environment.

Information Graphics. By illustrating the complex life cycle of derivatives, and what services the firm delivers to its clients at each stage, we helped Reval change its selling paradigm from marketing individual ‘products’ to one that was relationship-based, providing the full spectrum of risk management solutions to its customers.
