SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - September 08, 2015) - Following a successful restructure over the past few years, UBS, the world's leading wealth manager and number one bank in Switzerland, has unveiled refreshed brand values, identity and strategy.
Global brand consultancy Prophet worked with UBS's top management team and employees to devise the brand proposition. The new direction conveys a renewed brand personality that focuses on being optimistic by nature, purposely intelligent and confidently human.
"We surveyed more than 7,000 internal and external stakeholders of UBS and found that they particularly value the close relationship and partnership that the bank brings to the table, its exceptional expertise and flawless execution as well as the long-term approach that it applies. We used these insights to craft a new positioning for UBS," said Tosson El Noshokaty, Partner at Prophet.
"We also conducted several initiatives to ensure UBS's employees were engaged with the new brand strategy. In fact, the bank chose to launch its refreshed approach with a three month internal campaign before going public -- proving how strongly it believes in its employees as ambassadors of the brand," added El Noshokaty.
The new brand identity, developed by teams in Prophet's Berlin and San Francisco offices, focuses on bringing customer centricity and emotion to the center of the campaign.
