After completing brand strategy, messaging, and hero project descriptions, we designed SOQ and proposal templates. These looked so good, KS|a hired us to redo their website.
The new website creates a better mobile experience, features the team and shows off a curated global portfolio of homes.
C R E A T I V E C O N C E P T
KS|a already had a strong logo and color palette. With such powerful project photography, we kept the design of the website “quiet” so that KS|a’s work, not ours, is what gets noticed.

W H Y N E W B R A N D I N G ?
With significant transformation in the last 10 years, this law firm’s brand was stuck where they’d been, not where they’re headed.
New offices, strategic plan, core values, vision, purpose, positioning and a refined brand name made this the right time to create new branding.
C R E A T I V E C O N C E P T
We created new branding grounded in this positioning: West Coast, Defense Lawyers, and Collaborative Teams
See below for symbolism of the new logo.

Branding Process
S T R A T E G Y, T H E N B R A N D I N G
A strong brand is rooted in brand strategy, which means having well-articulated Purpose, Vision, Core Values and Positioning statements.
During a half-day workshop with the branding committee, we engaged in group prioritization exercises to narrow a lengthy list of firm attributes to three unique differentiators:
West Coast – We have deep knowledge of the law in CA, OR, and WA.
Defense lawyers with hands-of trial experience – We actually go to trial,
Collaborative Teams – Many minds contribute to resolve our client’s challenging legal issues
P O S I T I O N I N G S T A T E M E N T
From those three unique differentiators, we developed a positioning statement that defines the firm type (West Coast defense lawyers), how it is unique (hands-on trial experience and collaborative teams).
We are a West Coast firm of defense lawyers with hands-on trial experience. Our collaborative teams guide clients in resolving challenging legal issues.

I wanted you to know business is up 72% currently and has been hovering at 50% above for a few months. While I cannot pinpoint the cause the effect is dramatic, fun, challenging and rewarding. Thanks for the inertia.
You had a lot to do with it and I appreciate your effort and support.”
