The Challenge
When Beam reached out to Tantrum, the organization actually wasn’t “Beam” at all; they were known as Edquity. Edquity was heavily focused in the higher education sector, partnering with 40+ institutions to revolutionize how they support students’ basic needs through the provision of emergency financial assistance. They needed to rename and reposition themselves. “Edquity” was difficult to pronounce, more difficult to spell, and really had no powerful connotation to it.
The Result
The result was a full rebrand, from a clearer name that connotes assistance and warmth, to a fresh new aesthetic that hints at beams of light while still allowing space for the software solution itself to take center stage. A new aesthetic reflected a shift from working solely with postsecondary institutions to working with all cash and benefit programs across government and communities to get timely support to all in need.
Government assistance made easy.
