WhiteHaven, a private equity real estate investment firm, sought to revamp its B2B brand to better align with its institutional investors’ expectations. The primary goal was to establish a clear and recognizable brand identity that would not only support WhiteHaven, but also its subsidiary architectures and future growth. As a successful player in the industry, WhiteHaven aimed to maintain its position as a strong community partner as well as attract new clients and partners in the real estate industry. To achieve these goals, WhiteHaven needed a detailed branding strategy that would highlight its value and help expand its reach.
