Bridgepoint

Creative thinking meets commercial reality

Group 5399@2xGroup 5399@2x

Bridgepoint is a UK-based private equity business whose portfolio includes big-name brands like Pret a Manger, Wiggle and MotoGP. Wanting to communicate their difference and the unique way they work, Bridgepoint approached us to redefine their corporate literature – starting with their annual reports.

Our challenge was to demonstrate how Bridgepoint’s expert teams build stronger businesses with the potential to grow by connecting bold ideas with hard capital – a complex conundrum that required a simple design solution.

A fresh approach

We needed to make it clear to audiences that Bridgepoint is a significant and growing player in the private equity sector – with the commercial awareness, technical knowledge and personal qualities to take businesses where they need to go. Its reports needed to feel inspiring, reassuring and informative – not stale and expected.

Leading with impact

We made the bold decision to lead with the impact Bridgepoint makes for others – a move that ensured we could design and weave distinctiveness throughout Bridgepoint reports, from cover to cover. We always started with a core idea for the reports – from ‘Ideas. Realised’ to ‘Not business as usual’ – which set the tone for all of our creative outputs.

Sharpening up

Over the course of our 5 year plus relationship with Bridgepoint, we’ve helped to push the limits of the brand visually – especially photography. A key component of reporting, we’ve art directed shoots by leading photographers around the world – helping Bridgepoint break out from the generic world of private equity through a style of their own that’s both eye-catching and appropriate.

Every detail matters

Corporate reporting is all about the details. From the chosen paper stock to the standard of design that flows throughout the document, everything adds up to make a statement. For every variant and edition of Bridgepoint literature, we’ve advanced the quality of visual aesthetic to ensure everything adds up to a beautiful and impactful message about the business; one of absolute assurance and unquestionable impact.
