TORONTO, April 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Qtrade® Investor, a subsidiary of Aviso Wealth Inc., has changed its name to "Qtrade Direct Investing" and launched an updated brand. The new brand will better align the company's market presence with its award-winning reputation for innovation and customer satisfaction. Qtrade has achieved top ratings by The Globe and Mail, MoneySense and Surviscor 23 times over the past 16 years, and currently holds the number one ranking by The Globe and Mail. The new brand is strategically designed to share a story of confidence with Canadian do-it-yourself investors.
"At the heart of the new brand, Qtrade understands that the most important thing to our clients is a feeling of confidence," says Christine Zalzal, Senior Vice-President, Head of Qtrade and VirtualWealth®. "They should be confident that their decisions are well-informed, that their transactions are enacted reliably and efficiently, and that they have the support that they need. We have positioned our team to create that confidence. Our new tagline is an invitation to Write your own future.™"
The brand launch reflects the culmination of a two-year process, not just to present a better story to the market, but to build up the company behind the promise. Qtrade has made significant internal changes, with reconfigured teams in product development and marketing, and continues to add new technology, products and services, including portfolio analytics tools, personalization, and real-time account opening.
While the brand will be presented externally through an engaging and thought-provoking marketing approach, there is an internal component that addresses the relationship between each department and the intended brand experience.
"There's a considerable difference between a marketing campaign and what we've done with this brand exercise," says Brian McOstrich, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer for Aviso Wealth. "We started with our DNA and worked outward, through every job in every department, to ensure that the experience we provide aligns with the promise we make. This is as much about internal management as it is about marketing."
With time and consistency, Qtrade aims to grab the attention of more DIY investors than ever before with an online trading platform that gives them the confidence they need.
