Boston American Marketing Association Hosts Behind-the-Scenes Presentation from TD Banknorth EVP and Director of Marketing Tom Dyck; June 9 event features exclusive look at bank's new marketing campaign and an insider tour of TD Banknorth Garden.

BOSTON -- The Boston Chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA) today announced a Friday, June 9 presentation featuring Thomas J. Dyck, EVP and Director of Marketing, TD Banknorth. The lunch presentation, which will be held at Legends Restaurant in the TD Banknorth Garden, will offer an in-depth look at TD Banknorth's new Mid-Atlantic marketing campaign that launches June 1. Guests will also be invited to participate in a special behind-the-scenes tour of the Garden, including areas not usually accessible to the public.

A must-attend event for marketing professionals, Dyck will touch upon the entire process that TD Banknorth and The VIA Group, TD Banknorth's agency of record, undertook to develop a new marketing campaign for the bank's Mid-Atlantic Division. From research and strategy to creative and execution, the campaign was developed as a result of TD Banknorth's recent acquisition of Hudson United Bank and more than 200 branches in metro New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Connecticut.

"Even before we started our formal market research, we knew that we would have to develop new marketing strategies if we planned to successfully compete in the country's most competitive, and cluttered, banking marketplace," said Dyck.

With TD Banknorth's new campaign hitting the Mid-Atlantic media and markets beginning June 1, Dyck's presentation is a timely, first look at a range of strategic and creative marketing communications solutions for this established brand entering a new market.
