Our Approach to Brand Consistency

Case in point… our processes ensure no detail is overlooked. Take a look at how we achieved brand uniformity for The Grant County Bank conveying Labor Day closure messaging. Our team of account managers, graphic designers, social media managers, and the client worked collaboratively to ensure:

• Brand Standards Were Adhered To – Following The Grant County Bank’s Brand Standards Guide, visual elements seamlessly aligned with the overall brand identity. Our creative team drew inspiration from past closure artwork and other branded content pieces, ensuring continuity. Creative direction was established early on through a detailed design brief that outlined the project’s goals, required formats, and messaging. This creative planning process enabled the team to transition smoothly from concept to final artwork deliverables.

• Messaging Was Cohesive – For The Grant County Bank, every touchpoint (from social media posts to in-branch signage) was aligned to deliver a consistent tone and message, ensuring a reliable experience that reflected their commitment to 24/7 online service availability and community focus.
• Cross-Department Accountability Among LMC Team Members – Depending on the final destination or platform, specific LMC team members were responsible for reviewing the content pieces. Achieving consistency required attention to detail, thorough artwork reviews, and seamless communication across the team.

The Final Outcome?

Cohesive brand experiences for The Grant County Bank patrons that emphasized trust and recognition across all channels.
