Building a Consistent Brand & Image Library - Schroders

Two people conversing beside a building entrance and a black car.

Redefining Schroders’ Brand Architecture & Building a Global Image Library

Working closely with the Head of Brand, I helped redefine Schroders’ brand architecture, creating a more sophisticated, digital-first visual language across the overarching brand and its business areas. Consistent use of the Lens, colour and key design elements created greater clarity, recognition and cohesion across every touchpoint.

Alongside this, I led the management and art direction of a fully categorised image library, bringing thousands of on-brand images together within our online DAM for employees and agencies to easily access and use. This created a more consistent approach to imagery across the business while making the creative process faster and more efficient.

The wider approach contributed to a 30% reduction in creative production costs across the internal design team.

My Role: Shaping a Connected Brand Architecture

The Visual System in Practice: Consistent use of the Lens, colour and key design elements created greater clarity and cohesion across every touchpoint

The Visual System Was Supported By a Centralised Image Library

To support the new visual system, I led the creation of a centralised, fully categorised photography library designed to strengthen brand consistency, improve asset accessibility and eliminate duplication across teams.

I coordinated and art directed a series of strategic photoshoots, bringing together a diverse range of external models alongside Schroders employees, including senior leaders, to create authentic and representative imagery with broad application across the business.

The resulting library provides a high-quality, on-brand visual asset bank for employees and agencies to access through the Bynder  DAM system, supporting marketing and communications needs company-wide.
