Integrated Strategic and Creative Services
Our Approach: "One Voice, All Media"
CSA believes that clear, consistent, compelling messages integrated across all points of user contact deliver a strong brand experience-the most effective branding strategy.
Whether through emerging or traditional media, building a great brand requires knowing how to focus communication on those things that matter most to the consumer. It means weaving the brand into the fabric of their daily lives, ensuring its relevance to the consumer's emotional, rational and practical needs. CSA connects the brand-its products, services, and content-to its emotive benefits, highlighting their total impact and meaning for the consumer.
A Long History of Financial Services Work
Since the agency was founded 25 years ago, our experience with financial services companies has given us a depth of knowledge about the industry, as well as expertise in managing large, complicated branding programs. Among our accomplishments is an entirely new selling system for Putnam Investments, renaming the company in the process and creating a new standard for the mutual funds communications industry. For Prudential Investments, we formulated a new classification system for their asset groupings and designed a streamlined shareholder communications system-all with the goal of reducing client confusion and enhancing the investment decision-making process. And for Mitchell Hutchins, we launched the PaineWebber Strategy Fund package including a sales kit, display systems and conference campaigns, which resulted in the largest ever gathering of assets for an open-end mutual fund.
