Building brands people feel something for
Cover image for HOLLARD INSURANCE The Book of Brand
HOLLARD INSURANCE The Book of Brand Bravery: rewriting what an insurance brand sounds like CI guide concept, creative direction, and copywriting for one of South Africa's most distinctive and fearless financial services brands. THE STORY Insurance brands are not, historically, known for their bravery. They tend to sound cautious, careful, slightly nervous about saying anything too interesting in case someone holds them to it. Which makes a kind of sense. Except that Hollard, one of South Africa's largest and most innovative insurance groups, had always been different, and they knew it. They just needed someone to help them say so out loud. The brief was to create a CI guide. What I made instead was a book. I called it The Book of Brand Bravery, and from the opening line, it made clear that this was not going to be another corporate identity document that lived in a shared drive and was never opened again. The guide defined Hollard's personality as lionhearted, challenging, and inventive. Warm without being soft. Bold without being arrogant. Genuinely funny in places where most financial brands would never dare to go. Every section was written to be read, not just referenced. Because a brand guide only works if people actually want to open it. I murdered a lot of darlings getting this one right. Every line that was slightly too clever, slightly too safe, slightly too much like something another brand might say got cut. What was left was something that only Hollard could have said. That's always the goal. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That the most powerful thing you can do for a brand is give the people inside it something to believe in. The CI guide is where that belief either lives or dies.

Cover image for SIRKEL Closing the loop: brand strategy,
SIRKEL Closing the loop: brand strategy, creative direction and copywriting for a global investment venture Brand strategy, naming, creative direction, visual identity, website and copywriting for Sirkel Ventures, an investment business working across renewable energy, mining and global markets. THE STORY Sirkel was built around a simple idea: seemingly separate opportunities are often part of something much bigger. The business works across industries, markets and geographies, connecting capital, expertise and opportunity. I wanted the brand to make those connections visible. That led naturally to the idea of the circle, and to Sirkel. From there, I built the visual and verbal world around movement, connection and impact. Circles, ripples, loops and repeating forms became a way to show how one investment can create effects far beyond its starting point. The language followed the same thinking. “Bridging continents. Connecting innovators.” “Embracing diversity and creating opportunity.” “Join our Sirkel of change and impact.” The result was a bold, stripped-back identity that could move comfortably between mining, renewable energy and investment without belonging too obviously to any one of them. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That a good brand idea can do more than hold a business together. It can help make sense of a business that operates across very different worlds. And that sometimes the simplest shape gives you the biggest world to build from.

Cover image for ARNO KEMP The room behind the
ARNO KEMP The room behind the decision: brand strategy, creative direction and copywriting for an executive coach Brand strategy, positioning, creative direction, visual identity and copywriting for executive coach Arno Kemp. THE STORY Leadership gets lonelier the more senior you become. By the time someone reaches the top of an organisation, they’re usually very good at looking like they know what they’re doing. But behind the decisions, the meetings and the performance, there’s another conversation happening. The one about whether the role still fits. What comes next. And the things you can’t necessarily say to anyone else in the room. That was the territory I wanted to build Arno Kemp’s brand around. I kept coming back to the space before the visible decision. The thinking, doubt and uncomfortable honesty that happens privately, before a leader walks back into the room. That led to the central idea: “The room behind the decision.” From there I built a visual and verbal world that felt intelligent, quiet and assured. Less like traditional executive coaching and more like a private conversation between two people who understand the stakes. The writing followed the same principle. The role used to fit. This isn’t confusion. It’s consequence. What leaders stop saying out loud. You’re still performing. That’s not the same as fitting. The idea carried through the identity, presentation material, social content and wider brand system. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That the most interesting thing about a service isn’t always what happens in it. Sometimes it’s the moment that makes someone realise they need it. And that when you’re speaking to accomplished people, you don’t need to tell them how to lead. You need to show them that you understand what leadership feels like.

Cover image for GINSBURG & SELBY The journey is
GINSBURG & SELBY The journey is yours. The perspective is ours: brand strategy, creative direction and copywriting for an independent wealth firm Brand strategy, creative direction, visual identity, website and copywriting for an independent private wealth business. THE STORY Money is personal. And the more of life you've lived, the more complicated the decisions around it can become. Ginsburg & Selby had been advising people on those decisions for nearly thirty years. I wanted the brand to feel like that. Experienced, calm and thoughtful, without falling into the usual world of wealth management clichés. I kept coming back to the idea of a journey. By the time someone sits down with a wealth adviser, they've already travelled quite a long way. They've built businesses, raised families, made good decisions and probably a few bad ones. They're not looking for someone to take over the journey. They're looking for perspective on what comes next. That led to the central thought: “The journey is yours. The perspective is ours.” From there I built the visual and verbal world around roads, paths and changing perspectives. The ampersand became an important part of the identity too. It gave me a simple way to talk about the relationship at the heart of the business: client and adviser, experience and perspective, what has been and what comes next. I also wanted the writing to feel unusually unhurried for financial services. Held, not hurried. Knowing what not to change is as hard as knowing what to. You only take this journey once. We have taken it many times. The idea eventually found its way into everything from the website and identity to business cards, outdoor, digital screens, social and print. WHAT IT TAUGHT ME That sometimes the best way to make a financial brand feel more credible is to make it feel more human. And that experience doesn't need to announce itself loudly. Sometimes it can simply say: I've seen this road before.

Cover image for I haven't found my feet
I haven't found my feet on Contra yet, but I do find this to be a very good platform for freelancers and independent contractors. I've had a tough two years past and last year November I was laid off from work. I've been looking for stable income ever since. During the time prior and after, I've faced some major challenges financially. Sometimes, when you go through difficult situations, it looks so dark, you can't see any light ahead of you not even your hand when you stretch it out in front of your face. It's pitch dark. But I know from experience, and believe that even when it seems dark, there's a light at the end of that dark tunnel. What's your experience been since joining Contra? I'm a #content #writer looking for my next role! Get in touch with me today :) https://contra.com/nancy_amon/work?r=nancy_amon
