Totally focused on you campaign.[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] Institution: First Commercial Bank, Birmingham, Ala. Assets: $1.78 Billion Agency: Frederick Swanson, Alpharetta, Ga. For decades, the Birmingham, Ala., bank market had been comprised exclusively of home-grown banks. But by early 2005, Wachovia had acquired hometown bank SouthTrust; Regionas and Union-Plants banks had merged. In all, four new bank brands were on the landscape and consumers were rethinking their bank choices. First Commercial Bank (FCB), being of moderate size but with the backing of Synovus, was perfectly situated to capture incremental market share. The objective of the brand campaign was to differentiate FCB as a bank that is powerful enough to deliver every banking service, like a megabank, but still small enough to give every customer individual attention.
