When tapped to create the conference presence for the brand's small business banking arm at Quickbooks Connect, we asked ourselves "what's the one thing every small business needs?" A logo. A branding presence. The tools you need to seem like a larger business.
So, right there on the conference floor, we gave them that. We hired two logo designers to do 30–minute consultations with small business owners — and it was so popular that we had to bring them back for a second day of the conference.
Making our booth the most trafficked at the conference — even more popular than the info and sign-in booth for the event at large.

Under government conservatorship, the brand did little to no advertising for roughly 8 years. So they needed to come out of marketing retirement with a bang at The Mortgage Broker's Association Annual Conference and Expo. We concepted the largest conference presence in the center, as well as two offsite events and two off-floor rooms — all the while explaining some pretty complex products and solutions. The effort was met with resounding success, including an affiliate Tweet that claimed our client had dominated the conference.
The brand's small business arm is looking to stand out. So why not create messages that stand out in the category as well? Welcome to small business that's big business.
Finances can be hard. But what if they were simple? Or even Real Simple? Every month we created a little tip to help people out, that ran in the magazine of the same name. (It was always front/back on a heavier stock with a perf-out keepsake.) The partnership kept going longer than contracted due to great success.
What if planning for retirement was more like dreaming? What if you were able to visualize all the possibilities? Then maybe you'd bank with Wachovia (now Wells Fargo) — where retirement is exactly what you make of it. We were able to make a website "quiz" that helped consumers come to a decision.
B2B corporate messaging from one top 10 US commercial bank to many possible new clients, including program placement at the National Association of Commercial Card and Payment Professionals conference:
You need to understand your audience. Even if you're a top 10 US bank and a leader in credit cards. So we did client personas for corporate cards and treasury management clients. We researched and created documents for sales people and marketers.
