Fortrova – Purveyors of Gold Bullion and Precious Metals in the UK, Ireland, and Spain
I had the privilege of developing the brand for Fortrova, a high-end company that specialises in gold bullion, precious metals, and provides secure safety deposit box services for high-net-worth individuals across the UK, Ireland, and Spain. From the ground up, I crafted every element of the brand, ensuring it conveyed trust, exclusivity, and security while appealing to a sophisticated clientele.

Brand Strategy & Positioning
The core of Fortrova’s brand is built around offering a secure, discreet, and premium service for individuals who understand the importance of safeguarding their wealth. I worked closely with the founders to develop a brand strategy that focuses on trust and exclusivity, ensuring Fortrova would stand out in the competitive high-net-worth market. The brand is positioned as the go-to destination for those seeking to invest in precious metals or store their assets securely in premium safety deposit boxes.
Brand Naming
The name Fortrova was carefully constructed using two powerful words: fort, symbolising protection and strength, and trove, meaning a valuable storage or collection. This combination perfectly encapsulates the brand’s promise of secure and trusted wealth storage. The name Fortrova evokes both fortitude and value, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to providing premium, safe financial solutions with an air of exclusivity. It resonates with an affluent audience seeking reliable services for wealth preservation.
Visual Identity & Brand Theme
The visual identity was designed to reflect the luxury and exclusivity of Fortrova’s offerings. A clean, modern logo was created, combined with a refined colour palette of gold and deep tones to evoke a sense of wealth and sophistication. I developed a brand theme that was consistently applied across all materials, ensuring the visual identity conveyed trust, security, and high-end luxury. This included a comprehensive social media style guide and a user-centric website UX, ensuring a seamless and premium experience online.
Website UX Design & Social Media Style Guide
The website for Fortrova was built to offer a smooth and secure experience for potential clients, with an intuitive design that reflects the premium nature of the services. The user experience (UX) prioritises clarity and ease of navigation, with a focus on guiding high-net-worth individuals through the process of purchasing precious metals or securing their wealth. Additionally, I created a social media style guide that ensures all online communications stay in line with the brand’s luxurious tone, reinforcing its position as a trusted and prestigious name in the financial sector.
With its strong visual identity, secure and user-friendly website, and refined brand theme, Fortrova is positioned for continued success in the market, appealing to discerning individuals who seek the highest levels of service for their wealth preservation needs.
