Sheraton Madison Announces Hotel Renovations Complete

(MADISON, Wis.) – The Sheraton Madison has completed its $15 million renovation. The two-year project was a complete re-imagination of the property, reflecting the vision of owners based in Chattanooga, Tenn.

“We created functional, fun and welcoming spaces for guests and the general public to enjoy, completely transforming the community’s well-loved Sheraton Madison Hotel with thoughtful and aesthetic design elements,” Sheraton Madison General Manager Adam Gautreaux said.

Expertly designed by Sheedy | De La Rose Interiors of Chicago, the Sheraton Madison now invites you to experience a modern, dynamic and local vibe, exemplified in its homage to Madison in its indoor and outdoor murals, meeting rooms names and lobby décor.

The newly renovated guest rooms feature modern finishes, sleek furniture, room for personal storage and cozy seating areas. Each room includes a 55-inch LED TV with multiple streaming capabilities including Prime Video and Netflix, providing an ideal setting for a quiet recharge while on the road.

Located within the renovated lobby area is The Hub, Madison’s newest gathering place for drinks, social hour and more, as well as the new Market, which serves a variety of freshly prepared items for all meal periods.

The hotel is managed by Legacy Ventures, a best-in-class hospitality investment, development and management company, based in Atlanta.

Due to COVID-19, the hotel has implemented increased safety and disinfecting measure in compliance with Marriott International’s Commitment to Clean to ensure guest and employee health. Measures include contactless check-in through the use of mobile key, 24-hour vacancies of rooms between guest departures, social distancing measures and proper masks and personal protective equipment worn by employees at all times.

Savant Unveils New Name, Brand to Better Reflect its Deep Bench of Expertise and Holistic Approach

Savant Wealth Management (formerly Savant Capital Management), a nationally recognized, fee-only advisory firm headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, with locations also in Madison and Park Falls, today unveiled its “Wise Counsel” rebrand that includes a new company logo, color palette, website, name change, and tagline.

Savant’s fresh approach to delivering wealth management sets itself apart from competitors and was the driving force behind the rebrand efforts. Functioning much like a forward-thinking medical center, Savant leverages its deep bench of financial advisors and in-house estate planning, taxation, trust, insurance and accounting specialists to collaborate, provide valuable insights, and develop a plan of action to address the unique situation of each client.

“In an industry where everyone calls themselves a financial advisor it’s hard for clients to know who is really in their corner, and who is truly unbiased. Today’s clients are looking for wise counsel,” said Brent Brodeski, CEO of Savant. “It’s difficult to select a financial advisor when it seems like all firms look, talk, and act alike. We believe Savant’s Wise Counsel brand will point investors toward a firm that is truly on their side every step of the way.”

The name evolved from “Savant Capital Management” to “Savant Wealth Management” to better describe the comprehensive wealth management services it provides and the continually expanding value proposition it offers clients since its founding.

When designing the new brand, the firm started with the meaning of its name. A savant is a “learned, wise scholar” which speaks to Team Savant and its quest for continued, lifelong learning. From there, the concept evolved into the “Wise Counsel” tagline, which is represented by the logo that is an owl shaped like a shield. With this symbolic shield as its guide, Team Savant stands ready to provide the wise counsel necessary to build ideal futures for its clients, family, and the communities it serves.

Savant serves as a trusted advisor and fiduciary, working in defense of its clients’ best interests by walking alongside them on the path to reach their financial goals. As part of this journey, Savant offers its proprietary Ideal Futures Financial Health Assessment^SM that provides an objective and wide-ranging audit of an individual’s financial situation. It focuses on 10 key areas to prioritize aspects of an individual’s financial situation that need attention to help create a plan of action, unique to each client. This helps to deliver customized plans for clients to move further along the path toward their ideal futures. Savant’s new website offers a lite version of the full assessment tool to help individuals identify potential gaps or items needing the help of a financial advisor.

The new brand communicates Savant’s wise counsel as one that is approachable and offers an evidence based and common sense approach to wealth management. It is wide and deep, constantly learning and evolving, and it never assumes that the same approach will solve similar problems. Wise counsel comes from its collective education, experience, wisdom, and spirit of Team Savant.

Old National Opens New East Towne Branch, $500 Donation and $1,000 Give Away Planned

Madison, Wis. (July 8) – After more than a year of construction, Old National Bank (ONB) has opened their doors on a new bank branch at 4708 East Towne Boulevard in Madison. The newly renovated space is 3,250 square feet and has a new tandem-style drive-up.

The Banking Center utilizes a new concierge model of banking. In the concierge model, each representative in the branch assists the client with their needs from start to finish rather than moving from teller to specialist to loan officer. There is an ATM on-site and computers for individuals who prefer to be self-directed. The branch has an open concept design that is intended to be more interactive and provide the technology experiences consumers seek. The former bank branch was razed and a new one was built on the same site.

As part of the grand opening celebration, a $500 donation was made to the East Madison Community Center (EMCC) in honor of the new location. Branch staff regularly volunteer at the EMCC Food Pantry.
