Everon
Challenge
Everon, a Swiss wealth management platform, pivoted from being a direct‑to‑consumer investment app to enabling financial advisors to grow their client assets.
As the platform matured, its capabilities for advisors – broad investment options, high-performing strategies with impeccable track records, transparent processes, and easy client onboarding, portfolio management and reporting – were not clearly articulated in a compelling, differentiated offer.
Approach
We started the strategic process by defining the target customers and understanding their motivations, pain points, sources of inspiration, barriers, and their point of view on the category and on Everon.
We discovered that experienced financial advisors seek entrepreneurial autonomy and control over their client relationships, often leaving banks due to excessive limitations. They value their professional reputation and demand a technology solution that enhances, rather than replaces, their expertise. By talking to customers who use Everon, we identified its strengths and unique value, many of which go well beyond product features.
We looked at the competitive market and discovered largely undifferentiated, traditional platforms that often serve both advisors and private clients, promising the same core benefits like partnership and administrative relief. These competitors emphasize long experience and treat technology as basic operational support, failing to address the advisors' needs for greater strategic control and a modern edge.
At the intersection of what customers want, what competitors do not deliver, and what Everon can uniquely provide, we articulated Everon’s differentiated value and, from there, its positioning.
Execution
Once we defined the positioning, we translated it into a refreshed brand identity that visually embodies success in a restrained, elegant way.
We enriched the brand’s visual system with Swiss-inspired cues that matched the positioning, signaling accuracy, performance, and technology without defaulting to traditional “banking blue” and mountain imagery, the tropes of the category.
