Overview
Efficient Markets approached us with a bold vision: to reimagine their brand identity and web presence as they expanded their expertise beyond oil and gas asset transactions into diverse real asset categories, including renewable energy, land, real estate, and government resources. With a legacy of over 25 years in the industry through their flagship entity EnergyNet, the challenge was to create a cohesive brand for the newly formed holding company and its subsidiaries while communicating professionalism, innovation, and growth.
Goals
- Positioning: Establish Efficient Markets as the definitive technology marketplace platform for real assets.
- Modernization: Overhaul the brand identity to reflect innovation and professionalism.
- Clarity: Avoid perceptions of a small or overly complex company, ensuring accessibility and understanding.
- Consistency: Develop a unified visual identity across all touchpoints, including the website, trade shows, networking events, and sales collateral.
Solutions

- Typography: Utilizing Neue Montreal, a structured, tech-forward typeface for titles and paragraphs.

- Visual Elements: Geometric box patterns, used across the brand, representing the solidity and technological core of the company.

- Responsive Design: A sleek, professional aesthetic that works flawlessly across devices, ensuring accessibility at all levels.
