UPDATING THE IDENTITY OF A LEGACY PRIVATE EQUITY BRAND

Background
CS Brand Group was approached to update the brand identity of the private equity arm of a family foundation that’s been in existence since the 1970s. Called Rosewood Private Investments, this private equity firm with a rich heritage and legacy needed a new website, logo, and positioning that better aligned with the DNA of the organization. Partnering with leadership, we helped evolve their brand and better position it to develop and acquire companies that are leaders in the natural resources, real estate, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
