Gravis

The context

Gravis is an investment house formed in 2008. It’s built its reputation on funds that are all about the long-term – for the country and their investors. But to be this predictable takes thinking that’s anything but. Their Thing is all about being proudly long-term as the radically steady fund manager.

We gave Gravis a brand with equally long-term ambitions: including a press and moving media launch and an online campaign. All based around the Galápagos tortoise – steady, strong and with one of the longest life expectancies on the planet. This new system is giving Gravis a new lease of life, and giving the funds the status they deserve.
