Making PLT Easier for Founders to Understand and Trust
The Results
The work helped PLT turn a complex offer into a clearer, more trusted digital experience.
• A clearer and more distinctive brand identity • A more confident website experience
• Stronger messaging around “we invest more than money” • A simpler path for founders to understand PLT’s offer
• A more credible digital presence for investors and partners • A stronger foundation for future applications, deal flow, and commercial conversations
PLT Already Had the Experience
PLT was built by experienced entrepreneurs and operators.
The team had experience across construction, hospitality, land development, technology, marketing, and other commercial environments.
That gave PLT a different kind of credibility.
They were not only offering capital. They were offering practical support from people who understood what it takes to build, operate, and grow a business.
The foundation was strong.
The challenge was making that strength obvious to founders who were seeing PLT for the first time.
The Brand Needed to Match the Vision
PLT’s existing brand and website did not fully reflect the quality of the business behind it.
The offer was valuable, but it was not simple enough to understand quickly.
Founders needed to know who PLT was for, what kind of support was available, and how the team was different from a standard investment group.
Investors and partners also needed to see a brand that felt credible, focused, and commercially serious.
The gap was not in PLT’s capability.
The gap was in how clearly that capability was being expressed.
The Problem Was Clarity, Not Capital
PLT did not have a lack of capital or experience.
The real issue was positioning.
A traditional VC-style brand would have felt too cold and corporate for PLT’s founder-first philosophy.
A generic advisory-style brand would have made the offer feel too broad and forgettable.
PLT needed a brand expression that felt human, capable, and intentional.
It had to communicate a simple idea clearly:
PLT invests more than money.
We Built the Brand Around Founder Trust
We took a strategy-led approach to the brand and website.
The goal was to make PLT easier to understand without making the business feel smaller or less sophisticated.
That meant clarifying the message, improving the visual direction, simplifying the website structure, and building a stronger founder journey.
The brand needed to feel warm enough for founders to approach, but credible enough for serious investment conversations.
How We Made the Brand Clearer
We developed a comprehensive social strategy thatprioritised connection and visibility over sheer volume.
Clearer Brand Direction
We shaped a stronger brand direction that moved PLT away from generic corporate investment cues.
The goal was to create a brand that felt modern, minimal, warm, grounded, and quietly premium.
This helped PLT feel more distinctive while still carrying the credibility expected in an investment and founder-support environment.
Stronger Logo and Visual Identity
We refined the logo and visual direction so the brand felt more intentional and memorable.
The design needed to reflect PLT’s personality: practical, capable, founder-first, and commercially grounded.
It was not about making the brand louder.
It was about making it clearer and more confident.
Simpler Website Structure
We developed a clearer website structure to guide different audiences through the PLT story.
The site needed to explain:
- Who PLT supports.
- What PLT invests in.
- How PLT helps beyond capital.
- Why operator experience matters.
- What founders should do next.
This made the website easier to follow and more useful for people who were trying to understand the offer quickly.
Sharper Messaging
We refined the messaging around operator experience, practical guidance, and founder support.
The copy needed to separate PLT from typical investor brands.
Instead of sounding distant or purely financial, the message focused on real business support, strategic backing, and the human side of building a company.
A Clearer Founder Journey
We built the website journey around trust and action.
Founders needed to move from interest to understanding, then from understanding to application or enquiry.
That meant improving the calls to action, reducing confusion, and making the next step feel simple.
The website became a clearer bridge between PLT’s internal capability and the founders it wanted to support.
A Brand That Finally Matched the Business
The result was a more cohesive and credible digital presence.
PLT’s brand became easier to understand, easier to remember, and more aligned with the support the team actually provides.
Instead of simply looking more polished, the new brand and website gave PLT a clearer position in the market.
It showed founders that PLT was not just another investor.
It showed that PLT was a team built to back people with capital, experience, strategy, and practical support.
Why the Strategy Worked
The strategy worked because it solved the real problem.
PLT did not need to become more corporate.
It needed to become clearer.
By aligning the brand identity, website structure, messaging, and founder journey, PLT created a stronger external presence that matched its internal vision.
That helped the business feel more trusted, more approachable, and more commercially credible.
The Simple Difference
Before the work, PLT had a strong internal vision, but the brand and website were not making that value clear enough.
After the work, PLT had a clearer digital identity, a stronger website foundation, and messaging that better explained what made the business different.
The brand now feels more like the support PLT actually offers: experienced, human, strategic, and built for founders.
Where Growth Goes From Here
With the digital foundation in place, PLT is better positioned to attract stronger founder conversations, improve application quality, and build trust with investors and partners.
The next stage is to use the clearer brand platform to grow qualified deal flow and expand PLT’s footprint across Western Australia and beyond.
In One Line
We helped PLT turn a strong internal vision into a clearer external brand, creating a more trusted website and identity for founders, investors, and partners.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Real results from real businesses
“When we set out to grow Discmania in the US market, Ryan was a key part of laying that foundation. He helped us cut through the noise & restructured how we told the story of each release, aligning our athlete partnerships with the brand, and building the kind of community touchpoints that turned buyers into fans. The results spoke for themselves. I’d work with him again without hesitation.”
“In 2019, Ryan from Wandering Lion helped transform the Kalamunda Eastern Suns’ presence in the community. He lifted our social profile, drove some of the strongest brand engagement in the league, and helped turn sparse crowds into sellouts. His work also strengthened sponsor interest and raised the overall profile of the club in a way that felt polished, professional, and genuine.”
“Young people who had switched off from school were not going to reconnect because of a campaign headline or a polished message. They needed a genuine reason to turn up again. Wandering Lion brought a strong sense of care to how the story was told. That gave the foundation a clearer public identity.”
“Working with Wandering Lion on the Discmania project was a standout experience. The team’s position work, blended creative vision with strategic execution, was a major asset as we built the Discmania brand globally. The work he produced didn’t just look great. It elevated our brand presence and supported measurable growth across multiple markets.”
“Wandering Lion understood from the outset that the Pacific Hockey League could not simply be another competition with a new name. Their work helped shape a player-first league with the right balance of ambition, fairness, and professionalism. What they brought was not just branding or communication, but real strategic thinking that gave the PHL a stronger and more credible foundation.”
“Authenticity is the centrepiece of all Lajosi Putter customisation works. The brand is reflected in each of our hand-made custom putters. Ryan’s team solidified that identity in our online presence. It led to higher social media engagement from a golfing community who value hand-crafted putters over overly polished ones.”
