Branding : Advantage Bank : Financial Services

PROBLEM: Advantage Bank’s audience perceived them only as a commercial real estate lender. Their services, however, included a wide range of options: checking accounts, savings accounts and also home mortgages.

SOLUTION: The solution was to define Advantage Bank’s brand by creating a graphic standards manual as well as branding materials.
• The manual defined their brand essence, logo usage, typography, color palette and three categories of photography
(lifestyle, products and community)
• It was then used by the branch managers to give a cohesive message and look to each banking office
• Finally, I redesigned their branding materials for the banking offices: brochures, posters and outdoor banners.
Lifestyle imagery was used to emphasize the bank’s services that previously went unnoticed by Advantage Bank’s customers

    Reasons to Hire Me

    Three reasons you should consider me for a job:

    1. Problem Solver
    What I love most about the design process is solving problems: figuring out who a client "really" is, and not just who they say they are. I get excited about finding creative solutions to challenging problems; I appreciate good ideas regardless of application. These are several reasons why I love what I do.


    2. Experience
    I have ten years' experience working at an agency, designing everything from branding materials to advertising campaigns to websites to logos and annual reports.


    3. Attitude
    Or should I say the lack thereof,
    I enjoy working in collaborative
    creative teams. In my previous
    agency experience, I've learned
    that original ideas are purely
    starting points. Working together
    to evolve an idea makes it stronger.
