Project Overview

Spinnato, Kropatsch, Clinard, Schuelke and Associates. There were a lot of names on the door, and not a one was easy to pronounce or Google. One of the top-ten in the nation, Allegory worked with this Ameriprise Financial advisory practice through the change of their name to Ethos Financial Partners. New brand language and designs worked solidly in conjunction with Ameriprise corporate brand guidelines while creating a unique presence for the Denver-based group.

The transition positioned the practice for further growth and acquisitions, a key business strategy. A full brand development effort included communicating the meaning behind the new name through language, web copy, announcement mailers and events, videos and television commercials and printed collateral. The spirit of leadership, innovation and sound judgment that helped to build their success became a strong foundation to help move the firm into the future

Allegory really spent time getting to know us. Our new brand reflects who we are within the larger Ameriprise organization. It inspires our team and will attract the right people and opportunities as we continue to grow.
