Zurich-based GAM engaged Siegel+Gale to unify their global operations and amplify their unique value, following a decade of two corporate ownerships. By developing a progressive brand purpose to - "Advance the potential of capital" – Siegel+Gale synthesized the smart solutions and services GAM offers, as well as the organisation's fundamental belief in the potential of capital.

The new digital experience establishes GAM as a modern leader in active asset management. Inspired by technical blueprints, Siegel+Gale developed a refreshed brand identity that brings to life the agile, collaborative and decisive hallmarks of the refreshed brand, reinforced by a new logo redesign.

"This brand is a reflection of who we are today and part of our strategic investment in our future. The world knew only the company we used to be – and that needed to change," commented Alexander Friedman, Group CEO at GAM.

"From the outset, our ambition was simply to show the GAM brand as a representation of the people behind it and the work they do for their clients. A super-smart team of investors unwilling to follow the herd, unafraid to go with their intuition, looking for new ideas and focused on advancing the potential of capital for their clients; represented by the blueprint illustration style and contrarian voice. The new brand provides a platform for GAM to be the go-to commentator in the Active Asset Management space," commented Philip Davies, President EMEA, Siegel+Gale.
