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.

Basecamp Fitness to Open Second Madison Location in July

MADISON (July 8, 2020) – Basecamp Fitness, a fast-paced and efficient wellness concept designed to maximize every moment of your workout, will open its second franchise-owned location in Madison, WI. The studio is set to open at the end of July and is located at 309 Junction Road between Outback Steakhouse and Kesslers Diamonds. With locations in California and Minneapolis and a rapidly growing following, local entrepreneur Andy Gundlach is thrilled to bring a second Basecamp Fitness studio to Madison in order to meet demand for an efficient high intensity workout and fast paced interval training. 

Basecamp’s high-energy workout session is different by design. It improves strength while increasing cardio performance by alternating 60-second bursts of various strength-training exercises with 60-seconds on a stationary air bike that ‘fights back’ – the faster you pedal, the more resistance you feel – all in an intense 35-minute guided class. Professional athletes have been training this way for years, and Basecamp is excited to bring the benefits of this format directly to those who live and work in the Madison area. The fast and fun class is followed by an optional 10-minute core exercise session to conclude the workout.  

“It’s no secret that the Madison market is a very health focused community,” says Gundlach, President and Owner of ARGENT Companies, which includes 32 Anytime Fitness locations and soon to be two Basecamp Fitness locations. “Being a lifelong resident of the Madison area, I have seen the need for an efficient, high-intensity workout for people seeking fast-paced interval training. After taking my first Basecamp Fitness class, I was hooked. I think this is just the workout Madison is missing.”  

“We couldn’t have found a better owner and market for the first Basecamp franchise location,” explains Ben Camper, President of Basecamp Fitness. “Andy has a proven track record of running successful gyms, and the Madison market is one of the most fitness-focused in the country. Its residents are knowledgeable about fitness, value healthy lifestyles, and have full and busy lives. These characteristics indicate Basecamp will be a great workout solution for the people of Madison.”  

Basecamp is offering discounted founding membership rates that are locked in for perpetuity, and members that sign-up prior to the official open will get their first two weeks free. 

“In addition to offering a great workout, Basecamp’s focus on community is something we are eager to bring to Madison” explains Taylor Westrick, Area Manager of Basecamp Fitness Madison. “With regular ‘Pedal for a Cause’ events and member mixers, Basecamp builds strong hearts through the workout and then nurtures those strong hearts by creating a strong community.” Even prior to opening, the Junction Road location co-sponsored an event with its sister studio on Monroe Street to raise funds for Urban Triage, a Madison non-profit whose mission is to foster Black families’ self-sufficiency, community leadership, advocacy, and student success through parent engagement and cultural heritage. The Basecamp for Change event raised more than $1,000 for the non-profit organization.   

When asked about opening a new fitness studio during a global pandemic, Gundlach reassures “The health and safety of our members and employees is our top priority. Our team has been hard at work for weeks, rethinking the Basecamp experience from top to bottom in order to ensure we don’t just meet, but exceed CDC and local government guidelines – all while delivering the incredible workout our members have come to know and love.” 

The studio is increasing the amount of time between classes to allow additional time for sanitation, and members will have dedicated workout spaces with their own bikes and weight equipment. Check-in is touch free and in-house showers have been closed. Additionally, members and staff will be asked to refrain from high-fives and hugs and instead, air fives, waves, shout-outs, foot bumps and peace signs will be encouraged as gestures of comradery and support. 

Basecamp launched on the West Coast in 2013 and currently has five locations in California and two in Minnesota. The brand targets coveted locations to be in the heart of the action while still maintaining easy accessibility. Gundlach plans to open two additional Basecamp Fitness studios in 2021.

Per Mar Expands Security Services

DAVENPORT, Iowa – Per Mar Security Services, a leading provider of total security solutions for residential and commercial clients based in Davenport, IA, has expanded its commercial security services to adapt to the needs of clients due to COVID-19.

“I am proud of the team to quickly adapt to the COVID-19 challenges we all face in order to bring to market these products which provide a safer environment for our clients, their customers and employees,” said Chris Edwards, President of Per Mar’s Electronic Security Division. “We were asked to deliver a combination of technology and physical security solutions to meet the needs of our customers and we have done exactly that.”

New security services include temperature checks and pre-screenings by Security Officers, thermal imaging cameras, and integrated security. Per Mar Security Officers are also handing out masks at the doors of retailers. The new service offerings are detailed below.

Per Mar’s New Commercial Security Services:

• Temperature Checks & Pre-screenings

Prior to staff, customers, and visitors entering a building, Security Officers can:

• Administer pre-screening questions.
  • Take temperature readings.
  • Enforce sanitizing protocols that have been put in place like offering masks, gloves and hand sanitizer.

• Thermal Imaging Cameras

Per Mar uses an Elevated Body Temperature Detection System that provides fast, accurate mass screening for elevated temperatures. The system is non-invasive, non-contact, and fast. If a temperature is detected over the threshold allowed, an alert will be sent to the appropriate person to act on it. The system also allows clients to set up custom messages to tell the person with a high temp what to do. 

• Integrated Security

This affordable solution efficiently expands a company’s security coverage by combining monitored intelligent video technology, which has the ability to use a business’s existing cameras and infrastructure, with Per Mar’s uniformed Security Officers. When Per Mar’s intelligent video technology is triggered, live video goes direct to Per Mar’s Monitoring center and on-site Security Officer(s), allowing both to see the unauthorized access in real time. If there is a real threat, an on-site Security Officer can respond right away, and the Monitoring Center agent can immediately dispatch authorities to the location.

In addition to offering new security services, Per Mar has also adapted to the changing landscape by offering free, virtual security consultations for homes and businesses as well as social distanced, in-person security consultations.

Established in 1953, Per Mar Security Services is the largest, family-owned, full-service security company in the Midwest with more than 2,400 team members, operating in 23 branch locations.
