Wilton (Capital and US Commercial)
The Wilton Capital brand was entirely created by Catalyst DNA. We used an astrolabe as the basis of the Wilton logo and from there, we developed the look and feel for all their communications.
VIVAS Health
Our team created all BTL material such as corporate stationary, application forms, welcome packs, sales brochures, display stands, compliance handbooks, broker sales material. We also produced tactical national/regional press and digital campaigns.
From VIVAS Health to health from AVIVA
Due to the buyout of VIVAS Health by Hibernian, there was an interim phase where the look and feel of VIVAS Health was retained but renamed as Hibernian Health. From this point, we then re-branded all communications across to Hibernian Aviva Health to link in with the imminent global branding of Aviva owned operations. As soon as this process was complete, we then then migrated the brand again to full Aviva branded collateral. This process was carried out over an 18 month period.
