Opening the window for growth with a new name and competitive positioning

Questions

New Mexico Federal Credit needed a new name and competitive position to meet aggressive growth goals. We helped them answer the following strategic questions:

  • What name will allow us to attract members beyond our core?
  • What is the decision-making process that prospects walk through to choose a bank?
  • How can we evolve the equity in our brand to increase the affinity for our offerings?
  • How do we evolve our culture to stay in step with our evolution?
  • How can we proactively measure our brand performance to demonstrate success?

Approach

From research and strategy to creative and engagement, our approach was multi-faceted, yet outcome-focused. It included:

  • Competitive and trends analysis
  • Rigorous primary research
  • Brand strategy development
  • Competitive positioning/ brand pillar development
  • Messaging
  • Visual expression and identity
  • Employee engagement
  • Communication strategy
  • Bringing the brand to life
  • Marketing execution
  • Naming
  • Customer touchpoint journey
  • Experiential design
