Asset Management Advisory Consultancy

Asset Management Branding & Website

Fable&Co were approached by Magellan Advisory Partners to help craft & launch a new brand identity on the back of a demerger from a well-established executive search firm. Specialists among generalists, Magellan pride themselves on their commitment & dedication to servicing clients solely within the Asset Management industry.

Our aim was to create a unique visual identity, which reflects the specialist nature of this industry & will enable Magellan to attract clients who demand highly sought-after senior executives, that meet their critical hiring needs.

The Strait of Magellan

By delving deeper into the name & connotations surrounding ‘Magellan’ we were able to explore narratives & visual stimuli that would ultimately lead us to the concept around lighthouses & navigation.

The strait of Magellan is the most important natural passage between the Atlantic & Pacific oceans & is considered difficult to navigate due to frequent narrows & unpredictable wind currents. Ascertaining similarities between this & the ever changing Asset Management environment, we were able to focus in on certain things such as guidance & navigation, this led us to look at the more than forty lighthouses which occupy the waterways along the strait, & focus in on the symbolic meanings of them & what they represent.

A lighthouse sits in an important location with incredible views, serving as a navigational aid & is relied upon for clear signals & direction. It often symbolises the overcoming of challenges & offers guidance, signifying a way forward & help in navigating through the world. Although a lighthouse from the outside is a well-recognised sight, the inside is often unseen & remains undiscovered by most, except the keeper. This became the key focus of Magellan’s photography.
