Former Advisor Turned Brand Strategist for Multi-Advisor RIAs.
I'm Josh Passler. After years in the industry, I saw the same pattern over and over: firms spend $30K, $50K, sometimes $100K+ on rebrands that look great but change nothing.
Beautiful websites that say nothing specific. Premium visual identities that don't differentiate. Marketing materials no one can explain.
The problem was never the design.
You just end up with expensive confusion.

How I Work:
I run what I call a Strategic Checkpoint—a mandatory alignment phase before any visual design begins. We get your decision-makers in a room (or on a call) and work through the positioning questions most firms avoid:
Who Do You Serve?
What specific problem do you solve for them?
How are you legitimately different from the 47 other RIAs in your market?
Can everyone on your team articulate this the same way?
Once we have positioning everyone agrees on—in writing, not just nodded heads—then we build your visual identity around it.
The result: Zero revision cycles. No "can we try another direction?" three months in. No internal debates about whether the new site "feels right."
Just a brand system that works because it's built on strategy everyone already bought into.
Who I Work With:
Multi-advisor RIAs managing $100M+ who are tired of expensive branding projects that don't move the needle. Firms that know their current positioning is muddy but don't know how to fix it.
Teams that want strategic consulting, not just design services.
If that's you, let's talk.
