Finify

Finify

Finify, formerly known as Mortgage365, was looking for a new visual identity to complement their new name and organizational goal of expanding their B2C marketing presence. Based in Colorado, Finify combines the convenience of a streamlined online process with the benefit of working with an expert loan advisor. To demonstrate their innovative and personalized approach to mortgage, my team and I created a unique and memorable brand through playful illustrations, a modern color palette, and an approachable, straightforward tone. The brand informed a new website, social media presence, and digital marketing strategy and implementation.
