OVERVIEW

As an accountancy firm, it’s essential to maintain a professional brand image to attract and retain clients. One way to achieve this is by using Canva, a popular graphic design platform, to create visually appealing marketing materials and other documents. Square1 Design can take your brand management to the next level by creating templates that ensure consistency in your brand’s visual identity.

Here are some ways Canva can benefit your accountancy firm, especially when used in conjunction with Square1 Design Group’s brand management templates:

1. Professional-looking. Canva offers a wide range of templates for everything from social media posts to brochures and business cards. With a little customisation, you can create documents that are professionally designed and eye-catching. This can help your accountancy firm stand out in a crowded market and make a positive first impression on potential clients.
2. Consistent branding. Using Canva in combination with Square1 Design Group’s brand management templates ensures consistency in your branding across all materials. This includes using the same colours, fonts, and design elements in all of your marketing collateral. This consistency is essential in building trust with clients and establishing a strong brand identity.
3. Time and cost-effective. Canva is a cost-effective solution for creating marketing materials and other documents. Rather than hiring a full time graphic designer or using expensive software, you can create high-quality materials yourself using Canva’s user-friendly interface. Additionally, partnering with Square1 Design Group to create brand management templates can save time and resources in the long run, as you can easily apply the same design elements to all future materials.
4. Social media marketing. Social media is an important aspect of any modern marketing strategy, and Canva offers a range of templates specifically designed for social media platforms. Using these templates, you can quickly edit the designs and create eye-catching graphics for your accountancy firm’s social media accounts, helping you to engage with clients and potential clients on these platforms.
5. Versatility. Canva’s versatility is another benefit for accountancy firms. You can use it to create marketing materials, such as brochures and business cards, as well as internal documents, like proposals and invoices. This versatility makes Canva an essential tool for any accountancy firm looking to improve its brand management.

Using Canva in conjunction with Square1 Design’s brand management templates is an excellent way for an accountancy firm to improve its branding efforts. By creating professional-looking documents, maintaining consistency in your brand’s visual identity, and saving time and money in the process, your firm can establish a strong brand identity and attract more clients.

OVERVIEW

MAP Accountancy firm based in Manchester were looking a bespoke graphic to explain and help visualise a key component of their sales process. MAP needed to show clients the different levels within their Finance Maturity Curve – and explain what was included in each level. The graphic was to be used to share with new and old clients, for use on their website homepage and across social media.

THE JOURNEY OF THE GRAPHIC

The Finance Maturity Curve (FMC) started as a hand drawn graphic and went through several different stages before ending on the final design (last image) which is now used throughout MAP’s communications to clients.

OUTCOMES

MAP now use the final graphic across all platforms and it has helped them sign up new clients on the back of the FMC graphic and it’s clear and precise message for both staff communicating the information to new clients, and the clients themselves.

OVERVIEW

MAP Accountancy firm based in Manchester were looking for a unique video to be posted across social media, to gain interest in recruitment. Finding the right candidates for the vacant positions was paramount for MAP and they wanted a video to show the team culture and values at MAP.

Square1 were happy to help and set up a day for recording the team in an interview style while also integrating some candid shots of the work office. Using existing MAP branded intro animations and theme song, we set out to create the videos that were to be shared on LinkedIn and Facebook.

EXAMPLES OF RECRUITMENT VIDEOS

OUTCOMES

MAP shared the videos on social media and also across recruitment agencies which resulted in them hiring 2 new staff to fill their vacant roles and also hiring 4 new apprentices to spread the work across the team more efficiently. The videos helped MAP get the right people for the right jobs and so cut down on the set up and training of the new team members.
