What our client’s saying…
Wren Sterling has been working with Clever Marketing since 2016 and in that time we’ve covered website builds, website hosting, design and many other little projects. Brian, Harry, and the team are always very responsive, commercial and pragmatic. They can either work directly with tight briefs or work creatively to solve a problem or bring an idea to life, so as a client you feel in control, but also comfortable that you’re getting the right advice too.
Marketing Director – WrenSterling & MagnusFDM
Our Approach
Magnus Financial Discretionary Management Ltd (Magnus) is part of the Wren Sterling Group and manages over £1 billion in client assets, exclusively serving Wren Sterling clients. They operate independently within the group but benefit from its buying power and robust resource base. Founded in 2020 (originally as MFDM LLP), Magnus was acquired by Wren Sterling in 2022, rebranded in early 2023, and now boasts a strengthened leadership team including their Chief Investment Officer, a former investment group CEO as Chair of the Investment Committee, and an expanded investment manager team. This seasoned team underpins Magnus’s goal of delivering disciplined, institutional-grade investment management with the agility of a boutique firm.
Magnus FDM approached us with an initial design direction already in place and a clear idea of where they wanted the website to go. They needed guidance on how to refine it from a development and user experience point of view along with best practice recommendations for performance and optimisation. Once the direction was agreed the pressure was on. They required a fully bespoke, secure and optimised WordPress site built and ready to launch in just a couple of weeks. Clear communication was essential along with a smooth path into ongoing hosting and maintenance so they could feel confident that their site would be supported long after launch.
The project began with a detailed kick off meeting where we reviewed the client’s initial designs and provided structured feedback on layout, SEO considerations and user experience. We explored several ideas together, going back and forth with research and practical insight until we reached a clear and agreed direction. Once everything was approved the build moved quickly. The full site was designed, developed and refined within two weeks, supported by excellent communication and a client who came fully prepared with the materials we guided them to organise ahead of time. The website required modern functionality including smooth transitions and video elements that activated on hover which we implemented without compromising performance. After development we carried out full optimisation for launch, set the site up on our hosting and ensured everything was polished, secure and ready for a confident go live.
The Results
The result was a fully bespoke WordPress website delivered in just two weeks with a very happy client and even happier end users. Communication stayed flawless from start to finish with no bumps along the way. The client received a complete handover and full training so they could move forward with confidence. We continue to work with them on new projects and we look after the website through ongoing maintenance to keep everything healthy, secure and up to date.
