Siegel+Gale Unveils a Unified Brand Platform for Sandaire Investment Office
LONDON, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global strategic branding firm Siegel+Gale (www.siegelgale.com) today announced the completion of a refreshed brand platform for Sandaire Investment Office (http://www.sandaire.com), which included the launch of a redesigned website.

Sandaire engaged Siegel+Gale to merge the strengths of their two investment offices - SandAire and Lord North Street Private Investment Office - into one unified brand. The goal was to modernise and reposition the two organizations as Sandaire Investment Office, a reliable and dedicated partner of choice.
Building upon long-standing core family values, Siegel+Gale developed a robust brand platform focused around the purpose of "simplifying the complex nature of wealth to further its potential." The new platform positions Sandaire as a wealth management pioneer who understands the intricacies of developing a private wealth strategy.
"Drawing on their founding purpose - to simplify matters for their clients - we worked with Sandaire Investment Office to align their communications and interactions with clients and each other," said Liana Dinghile, group director, strategy at Siegel+Gale, London.
The Siegel+Gale design team reimagined the identity of Sandaire as bright, real and worldly to express their sharp investment offering and solid family values. The new visual identity and design system are reflected in the newly launched website and across all corporate collateral.
"Inspired by the natural resource reference contained within the brand name (Sand and Air), we worked with a strata metaphor to bring to life Sandaire's ability to distil layers of complexity," said Clive Rohald, executive creative director at Siegel+Gale. "The 'Simply Aligned' concept is also represented in the layered 'E' of the logo as well as the entire graphic system."
"We have been delighted with Siegel+Gale's work on our re-branding project," said Alexandra Altinger, CEO of Sandaire Investment Office. "Their understanding of our challenge of bringing two brands together and their determination in delivering the best possible results meant that the brand platform and visual identity they developed has become a true reflection of who Sandaire Investment Office is today, without losing sight of our family values and of the core heritage of both SandAire and Lord North Street. We believe this new and refreshed corporate identity sets Sandaire Investment Office in a strong position as we embark on this exciting new chapter."

The enlarged firm specialises in providing conflict-free investment management services to relatively few families with large fortunes and substantial endowment funds including Oxford and Cambridge Colleges.
