/ challenge
‘The caricature of an actuary is that of a middle-aged man more comfortable with figures than with human interaction...' (The Times, 10.2.09)... But, in reality, the profession is becoming younger, more women are joining, and the grey-suited image is now outdated.
To enhance their reputation, the Actuarial Profession decided it was time to refresh its image: attract new blood and to clarify public perception of what actuaries do. Living was appointed to help achieve these goals by building a new visual brand.
/ solution
Actuaries are typically highly intellectual and operate with the highest standards of integrity. Following our comprehensive discovery phase it was clear that a new, more future-facing, visual brand was required.
Leading with an up-beat colour palette and conceptually-fuelled imagery, the visual brand provides a contemporary look that is a remarkable step-forward from where the Profession used to be. Importantly, the new style cleverly reflects the younger audience whilst not alienating the more senior members.
/ result
The new brand is full of life. Living developed a comprehensive suite of communication tools, both on and offline, which will help the Profession achieve their vision to develop a worldclass member support organisation.
The profession is changing and so has their brand... for the better.
