GOALS: LOAN GROWTH AND BRAND AWARENESS

THE CHALLENGE

Marion State Bank faced a multi-layered growth challenge: they wanted to increase overall brand awareness, attract a completely new segment of deposit account customers to a newly built branch—without cannibalizing customers from a nearby branch—and boost loan growth across all locations. The goal was to establish Marion State Bank as a trusted financial partner in a competitive market while achieving measurable returns from their marketing investments.
