Baird: Rebranding on a National Scale

Founded in 1919, employee-owned Baird has guided families, businesses, communities, and institutions toward their financial goals. Baird has more than 160 offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. In need of rebranding, Baird partnered with Identiti on 85 corporate sites across 17 states, featuring exterior and interior signage; along with an opportunity to rebrand 3 high-rise locations at their regional headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky.

 

“We needed a partner for a corporate rebrand project that included our regional headquarters, which featured high-rise signage that required significant restoration. From code research and permitting to building access and special safety requirements, Identiti made the process easy by coordinating every detail and making sure there were no surprises. They were a true partner from beginning to end.”

Signs in High Places

With the building located in the heart of downtown Louisville, there was no margin for error and everything from the survey, the restoration of the facade, to the final product was done with precise and sound execution.
