Rebrands can be such a bore! Wow, you changed your logo and chose a slightly different corporate blue pantone for your website – *slow hand clap* Well done you! But every now and then, a rebrand comes along that does it RIGHT. A rethink that’s not just a cosmetic airbrushing of the existing brand, but a complete rethink of the style, attitude and ethos of the brand.

Journey is launching its new brand with a bang. We’re the same cutting-edge growth marketing agency we always were – with a razor-sharp focus on the accounting technology market. But now we’re wearing new threads and walking a new walk.

Dive into www.letsjourney.io and see just why we stand out from the crowd, and how we’re more motivated than ever to help accounting tech startups become industry rock stars.

A refreshed brand with a punk-rock attitude

A rebrand isn’t about commissioning an expensive new logo. A good rebrand builds on previous successes by re-focusing the mission, vision and clarity of what your brand’s about. So, if you’re going to do more than just tick the usual boxes, you need a sharp focus on your customers. 

Journey’s customers are accounting tech founders, disruptive innovators who’ve shaken up the industry. They spot a niche, develop never-before-seen technology and disrupt the market. It was only fitting to match that energy with the new Journey brand and to crank it up to 11. 

Our new brand is all about blending the rebellion and disruptive spirit of these punk-rock innovators, with clear, no-nonsense visuals and content that tells it how it is.

We keep things simple, but we also fire up the energy and drive for growth that’s the lifeblood of any great accounting tech startup. The brand reflects the SaaS founder’s drive for independence and disruption. But we temper this with deep knowledge, incredible industry insights and content that truly brings a startup's story to life.

We infuse our content with the energy of a punk rock concert, where the audience feels the adrenaline, the passion, and the exhilaration of being part of a movement.

But we also dial down the volume, slip some yacht rock onto the stereo and bring things down to basics – setting the marketing foundations for solid, dependable growth and revenues. 

Fire up the new rebranded site and see for yourself how Journey has changed.

Three ways Journey powers up growth for accounting tech startups

Our mission is clear: Journey 2.0 is here to unleash scalable growth for accounting tech startups across the globe. We’ve got the knowledge of the industry, the tried-and-tested strategies, and a team who know the accounting industry like the back of their hand.

At Journey, we've cracked the code to scaling-up accounting tech apps. With 30+ years of combined industry leadership between us, we're here to help ambitious startups crank it up to 11 – from Seed to Series C and beyond. 

What’s it like working with Journey? Our three-point approach is the engine room of our clients’ growth, helping them switch from organic growth to hyper-growth scale-up in the blink of an eye.

These three pillars are what delivers accounting tech growth:

1. We pull back the cover on your customers & product

  • Because your customers hold the answers to your messaging and positioning
  • Customer research to get a razor-sharp look at what makes your ideal customers tick
  • Product immersion to understand exactly how you solve their biggest pain points
  • Updated messaging based on how you’re uniquely positioned to help them

2. Assemble your strategy & growth team

  • We build the growth unit you need for your goals & product
  • Sprint-strategising to create a plan we can start testing & measuring
  • Carefully curated channels based on where we think you’re best taking centre stage
  • A team of strategists, specialists, and executors assembled and assigned to you

3. No-holds-barred execution and iteration

  • We execute, learn, adjust, and go again until we find your leverage
  • Daily execution against the plan to start finding traction
  • Constant review & thirst for improvement to double down on what’s working
  • We’re in your Slack, attending your stand-ups, integrating as part of your in-house team
