From finance provider to tech provider
Deko approached us to better reflect what the business had become. To pivot their positioning from ‘finance provider’ to tech business. After a deep-dive into the complexities of Deko’s offer and audiences, three key messages and differentiators emerged.
Deko’s leading technology; Benefits of a wide range of lenders and finance products; Full sector and channel coverage.
- Positioning
- Workshops
- Messaging frameworks
The conversion experts
A fourth key message was also unearthed. The platform itself is impressive and effective, yet it is also the on-hand expertise of the Deko team that helps match retailers to the right lenders, and offer ongoing essential advice on retail finance.
- Messaging frameworks
Finding the right voice
Working with Reed Words, a tone-of-voice was developed that was tech-savvy yet no-nonsense and jargon-free. It was important to strike this balance to underline the tech side of the business, as well as the simplicity of its use and integration.
- Brand voice and copywriting
Visual language
The copy for the website was kept intentionally light and supplemented with simple and ‘own-able’ illustrations and animations to emphasise product benefits and imply both speed and simplicity.
- Planning and architecture
- Brand and messaging application
- Visual identity
- Visual design
