Going public in a big way

In advance of a highly anticipated IPO, the industry-leading fixed income trading firm hired Thinkso to reassess the positioning of its brand, develop a new tagline, and establish the core messages that would headline the big announcement. With the NASDAQ bell ringing as the ceremonial centerpiece, we unveiled a new campaign entitled “Move first. Never Stop.” which took the form of a series of motion graphic animations that appeared on more than 40 synchronized video monitors in Times Square. Additionally, we developed video, print and event materials that were used in the lobby of the exchange, at an employee celebration, and in the firm’s midtown headquarters.

Thinkso wrote, designed, and produced a video takeover of Times Square centered around the NASDAQ and Reuters towers.
