Challenge: PWP had $1B to invest but no real strategy. We had to create a comprehensive brand and design strategy to convey the experience, integrity and respect of the brand to gain investors’ trust.

 Solution: The names of powerful founding leaders coming from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley set a standard of brand values and character. Roman elements and typeface were used to convey strength. Working with accuracy and speed NDG developed a comprehensive branding system that included a new corporate identity, business stationery system, ‘tombstone’ signage, website, and print collateral.

 Result: A decade of growth! PWP is “a first-class alternative investment platform” with capital commitments and managed assets of approximately $8.9 billion and employing more than 450 employees at its offices in New York, London, Abu Dhabi, Denver, Dubai, and San Francisco.

Green represents life, nature, peace, eternity and the hope of the future. During winter time it symbolizes hope for those living in harsh conditions. This color is a reminder that the earth may appear asleep, but spring and reawakening are just a few short months away.

El verde representa la vida, naturaleza, paz, eternidad y la esperanza de un mejor mañana. Durante el invierno simboliza la esperanza para aquellos que viven en árduas condiciones. El color es un recordatorio de que mientras pueda parecer que la tierra duerma, la primavera y el despertar de la naturaleza están a unos cortos meses de volver.
