New WFAM brand identity includes an enhanced digital experience focused on helping clients pursue their desired investment outcomes

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of Wells Fargo’s recent branding campaign and redesign, Wells Fargo Asset Management (WFAM) today announced a new brand initiative to provide clients with a more integrated, consistent product and solutions-focused experience.

In January, Wells Fargo launched “This is Wells Fargo,” an integrated marketing campaign that highlights the changes the company has made to its operations and culture to deliver exceptional service and rebuild trust with customers. The campaign also introduced a new visual identity, including an evolved logo, a modern stagecoach and digitally friendly colors and tone.

WFAM’s implementation of the redesigned Wells Fargo brand builds on its expertise in delivering value across fundamental and systematic equities, cash, fixed-income and multi-asset portfolios and providing clients with innovative, customized solutions in areas such as environmental, social and governance; portfolio solutions; and retirement solutions through its target date capabilities. Through this effort, WFAM will focus on communicating with clients with clear, actionable and benefits-driven messaging to help them pursue their goals.

“We are proud to launch this new branding platform, which represents a transformational step forward in better fulfilling the expectations and needs of our clients,” said Nico Marais, co-CEO of WFAM. “We want our brand to be viewed as a powerful, innovative and unified provider of our investment products and problem-solving solutions.”

The strategy places a growing emphasis on WFAM’s outcome-focused vision, achieved through combining the best of its investment capabilities with its multi-asset solutions expertise.

“With our enhanced digital capabilities and identity, we are better positioned to meet the expectations of today’s investors,” said Kirk Hartman, co-CEO of WFAM. “We want to make clear that we think differently on our clients’ behalf — not just about their investments, but about their long-term goals and the most effective solutions for achieving them.”

A significant component of the WFAM redesign includes the consolidation of three websites — wellscap.com, wellsfargofunds.com and wellsfargoassetmanagement.com — into a single platform. The new site enhances the user experience through customized content and more intuitive navigation and prominently showcases WFAM’s investment capabilities and thought leadership. This establishes a unified approach to different clients, whether they are U.S.-based institutions, financial advisors or individual investors.

“The launch of the new WFAM identity further expands Wells Fargo’s cultural and branding transformation,” said Marshall Butler, head of Marketing for Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management. “We are excited to introduce the redesigned look and more solutions-focused experience to our clients.”
