Citywealth Awards

“Your brand is what other people say about you when you're not in the room”. Jeff Bezos - Amazon Founder
In the run up to the Citywealth Awards, conversations will have been had to decide which companies are nominated for Brand of the year. If there was ever a time for brand work to be analysed and honestly dissected – that was the room the conversation happened in.
Our recent rebrand of Carey, has seen it cemented in the 2019 shortlist. Other nominees include headline acts like Deloitte, RBC Wealth Management & Rothschild. Carey may be in open water, but are by no means out of their depth.
Defining themselves by their values first, and services second, is a true reflection of the way they operate. This honesty instigated our healthy approach to the brand creation.
As Managing Director Jim Gilligan explains - “The new Carey brand represents who we are today, as a business, and speaks to the unique culture among our team of 60 people and to the distinctive approach we take towards developing client relationships.”
A brand is the overall experience of the client. Its role? To distinguish itself from rivals from the eyes of the client. Well this time, Carey have been distinguished by the prestigious Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards – and The Potting Shed would like to be the first to congratulate them.

Testimonials
"Potting Shed took the time to understand the product and our purpose and created a clean, fun and fresh look which our clients comment on regularly. They then took the brand and product to the next level for us by creating our product video and website, and the storyboard and visual process that the team created really brought it to life."

Jenny Winspear
COO Anova
"We worked alongside Potting Shed to create an identity that embodies who we are, and why we do what we do. These projects have contributed to a more connected team who believe in our organisation at a deep level. When your people believe in what you do and take ownership over their culture and workplace, growth is the natural outcome."

Jim Gilligan
CEO Carey Group
"Potting Shed responded quickly and sensitively to our brief, helping us find a tone of voice we're genuinely proud of. Their promptness and understanding made a real difference – 10/10 for quality, service, and value."
