Blacksalt

Founded during the Covid lockdowns, Graham Donnelly, with over 30 years of experience in the financial industry, envisioned providing personalised financial services for the everyday person without the hefty fees associated with larger firms. This concept evolved into a highly reputable business that consistently assists small to medium businesses in optimizing their finances.

Considering Blacksalt’s status as a new and unfamiliar business, it was crucial to leverage the founders’ experience and highlight the distinctive aspects of the business. Through a series of workshops and market research, we swiftly defined a unique brand position for Blacksalt, setting the stage for a standout launch in the marketplace.
