Human bags creative design duties for SPAN Wealth
Mumbai : Mumbai-based integrated agency Human, founded by Imran Khan and Chirag Raheja, has just signed on SPAN Wealth as their newest client.
SPAN Wealth is a Mumbai-based wealth management company with over 500 crores of assets under management. The brand offers a gamut of solutions based on the stage of life an investor is in, and aims to partner them throughout their lifecycle of needs.
The agency’s mandate includes creating a new identity for the brand, bringing in timeless sophistications, and creating an impactful, future-facing web presence for the brand.
Commenting on the partnership, SPAN Wealth founder director Anish Vora said “I have known Chirag for a long time and have followed his work extensively. When he informed me that he is starting his own agency, I knew that there would be no one better to entrust with our rebranding needs. Both our companies, SPAN and Human, believe in keeping people at the heart of everything we do – so I hope that this is a long and fruitful relationship which will be beneficial for both parties.”
Human co-founders and directors Raheja and Khan said “SPAN’s approach to wealth management is very refreshing, and their clients are testament to their abilities. More than product pushers, they are guardians of their clients’ wealth. They’re an idea whose time has come. So when Anish reached out to us with a brief, he really put the ‘happy’ in our new year wishes! We’re stoked to partner with SPAN, and can’t wait to deliver beyond their expectations.”
