Building a Brand for an Entrepreneurial Twin Cities Business Bank Startup
the SITUATION
As long-time banking veterans, each of the founders saw a gap in the market to focus solely on serving the banking needs small business owners and entrepreneurs, as well as their own community. With some established banks already in the area, it was crucial that we develop a unique, modern and professional brand to stand out from these often old-school entities, while establishing credibility and grabbing attention right out of the gate.
the solution
After developing a new name that helps position EntreBank to its primary audience, I developed a robust brand strategy and key messaging platform that helped them articulate the unique value they bring to small business customers. A daring and energetic logo and brand identity sets the perfect tone for standing out in a crowded market and reflecting their personality as bold change-makers.
I created a professional, responsive and user-friendly website to help users quickly familiarize themselves with EntreBank, absorb their value, and take the next step in getting their needs met. Easy and secure communication options, eye-catching design, and engaging content create the ideal experience and first impression a new brand requires.
