Rebrand Your Bank—

from the Inside Out.

Unite your entire organization – from leadership to the front line – around a shared brand vision that drives digital growth and Gen Z relevance.

Most banks start digital transformation with logos and websites — but without brand alignment, it all falls flat. Our Brand Workshops begin with culture, providing a solid foundation for your rebrand to succeed.

How it Works

A rebrand succeeds when your people, purpose, and promise are aligned first. That’s why our Brand Workshops guide your team through a clear process — so every leader and employee has a role in defining the brand.

Discover

Uncover the perceptions, strengths, and challenges shaping your bank today.

Align

Bring leaders and employees together to define your purpose, tone, and values.

Apply

Turn insights into actions that guide marketing, culture, and digital experience.

What Happens in the workshop

Every workshop is hands-on, high-energy, and designed to surface fresh insights. We use interactive exercises to get past surface-level opinions and uncover what really drives your brand.

THE RESULTS YOU’LL GET

A Brand Workshop isn’t just a conversation — it’s a turning point. You’ll leave with tangible outputs that shape strategy, culture, and marketing.

  • A clear definition of your brand attributes and personality
  • A message architecture you can use across channels
  • Alignment across departments, from leadership to frontline staff
  • A concise workshop report with insights and recommendations
  • Video recording + transcript for reference and sharing

Who it’s for

Our workshops are designed for leaders ready to align their bank around a shared vision.

Ideal Participants
  • CEOs, CMOs, and Presidents who need clarity before a rebrand
  • Marketing and Digital Leaders tasked with driving customer experience
  • HR and Culture Teams who want brand values embedded in behaviors
  • Frontline Staff whose voices and experiences ensure the brand feels real

Why Now

In today’s landscape, digital transformation without cultural alignment is wasted investment. A modern website or mobile app will only succeed if it’s built on a brand your employees believe in and your customers recognize.

Brand alignment isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s the foundation for relevance with Gen Z, trust with your community, and growth across every line of business.

CEO, Ledyard Bank

“When we merged Norwood Bank and Foxboro Savings Bank in 2023, the biggest win didn’t come from new logos or branch signage—it came when our people shared one story, one purpose. Thanks to the Brand Workshop, we didn’t just merge operations, we merged identity.”
