Brand..New Thinking...
What is in a brand? It represents not only who the company is, but more importantly what it's promise is to it's clients. A strong brand is one that delivers on that promise through it's daily efforts and engagements. A brand is comprised of many components, and the combination translates into user experience. Is it good/bad/indifferent?
Most companies, especially in the banking world are scared to stand out. They have a fear of looking "silly" in the eyes of consumers and tend to keep it bland. We choose to stand out because we feel that we honestly offer a clearly different and better user experience in the mortgage industry. It is rarely found, and nobody does it quite like us. People want to be spoken to, not spoken at. They want to engage in a conversation that is about them, and not about the person selling to them.
Why would a mortgage company care about a brand? Because we help people manage their largest asset, their home. It is a high stakes financial decision, and one that should be taken seriously. There are so few firms out there, looking to roll up their sleeves and truly help people make decisions that are good for them. That is our daily/weekly/monthly/life commitment to our clients. How could you offer anything less?
So we relish in our "differentness" because we think that is precisely what our clients want and more importantly deserve....
