Indicus Advisors – New Look, New Outlook

Our finance and investment clients have been busy this month. Indicus Advisors have just implemented their ‘refreshed’ new logo and should be going live with their new website design very shortly. Meanwhile, Resolute Asset Management and Peace Dividend (a company investing in Yemen) are the latest companies in this sector to add to the WildWest client list.

Indicus, whose business is in the white hot territory of the finance markets, think they may just be over the leap they have had to make from the old assumptions to the new. So maybe the recovery actually is on the way.

More on all of these developments very soon.

One thing leads to many more…

From the new Alcentra/BNY Mellon site

We’re certain that we can’t claim the credit, but it does have to be said that our clients – and particularly those in finance and business services – have managed to retain the entrepreneurial spirit, even through the downturn which we have (and still are in our view) experiencing.

So, while new clients have been harder to get than ever before, it’s been good to have recommendations (either because our work has been visible or because one of our existing clients has been kind enough to refer us to colleagues and friends) which have been cemented on the basis of the work that we have done elsewhere.

Our new site for the American operation of Alcentra (a long-standing and valued client of Wild West Design here in London) adds resources from BNY Mellon, and is already looking very successful.

Further from home, our work for Satya Capital, which we referred to in an earlier post, was noted by a new company working to bring investment into southern Sudan, and it has been our great pleasure to help them (though too early to reveal our work!)

Recent projects for us have included press advertising, web banners, complete websites, identity projects, display systems, corporate and product literature of different kinds, direct marketing initiatives and more! It has been a busy year already, but we’re always pleased to welcome new clients and the challenges they bring.

If you would like to see more of our work of course, just visit the home page of our website and view or print our credentials document, or get in touch with us directly.

Where do you watch the Barclays Premier?

The Barclays Around the World Competition site

The Barclays Around the World Competition site

Just tell Barclays, and you could win a really great day in the UK!

With the Barclays Premier League being watched in more places every day, Barclays wanted to promote their involvement with the beautiful game by giving fans from around the world the chance to show us all where and how they watch the action from the Barclays Premier League.

In return, there’s a really great prize of a trip to the UK, with (of course) tickets to a match at the winner’s favourite ground.

What do you have to do to win? Simple, just use the site to explain where, when and how you watch your favourite team. You can upload video, audio, photography or just write  a paragraph about it. The winner will be the most unusual and interesting story that’s posted to the site before the end of the promotion.

The Barclays ‘Around the World in Ninety Minutes’ website shows how companies can interact through the web – this is quite a lighthearted application, but it doesn’t take too much thought to show how this interactivity could have more serious uses. You could collect views and opinions of customers for example, or find out what employees around the world think about your company. Views can be made public or kept private and available only to certain individuals.

Satya Capital invests in Nigeria

Satya Capital, the private equity group which focuses exclusively on Africa, has chosen Hygeia for its first significant investment in healthcare in the continent.

Satya, whose Wild West designed website went live in 2009, is one of a new breed of specialist investors, determined to use their capital to develop the potential of this vast continent.

Satya, founded through the efforts of African entrepreneur Mo Ibrahim, is making an equity investment of $18 million, alongside a total of $8 million in new debt facilities from other sources, to allow Hygeia to expand both its hospital group (Lagoon Hospitals), and its health maintenance organisation (Hygeia HMO). These investments join the existing debt and equity provided by IFC and the Investment Fund for Health in Africa (IFHA) respectively.

If your website is just a touch neglected…

Some web sites really don't do the jobs they were designed to do any more

We all know how it goes sometimes; your website just doesn’t get the love and attention that it should. And meanwhile of course, life can be passing it by.

Which would all be okay, if it weren’t so serious.

We have a lot of clients in investment and private equity for example, and their investors need to know what is happening to their money. The web and a properly designed website, can be a focus of this kind of activity – keeping investors informed about more than just the big picture, but maintaining information streams that are relevant (often personalised to) individual investors.

Quite simply, if you haven’t got these facilities, then some very important people might well go elsewhere.

The rusty cars that we at Wild West design are featuring in our new promotional campaigns should help bring more of this functionality to more new Wild West clients in the near future, while clients like Alcentra, Inflexion, Indicus Advisors, Duke Street and others are already taking advantage.

Alcentra are an investment company and, like some other leading investment and finance companies, one who have had a long-standing record of working with Wild West Design. Their new US operation is one which brings together the resources of BNY Mellon with Alcentra’s expertise to provide a new option in mezzanine finance. The new partnership will provide senior and subordinated debt and equity finance to mid-market companies in North America.

Read about the success of Alcentra over the years since its first investment (in 1999) at www.alcentra.com

Alternatively, and especially if you would like to find out more about Alcentra’s new collaborative investment venture with BNY Mellon, go to their brand new web site at the following address:

Alcentra was one of the first finance and investment companies to work with Wild West. Since then of course, they have been joined by many others, including Inflexion, Indicus Advisors, Satya Capital and Duke Street. They all appreciate our knowledge of this complex market and our ability to keep them in touch with the investors whose funds are so vital.
