Project Overview
Situation
California Bank of Commerce (CBC) is a highly accomplished business bank that funds growth and solves complex problems for its clients. But how its brand showed up in the marketplace was inconsistent with its true value. It needed a forward-thinking, sophisticated brand presentation and a corresponding campaign that matched its role as a leading expert in commercial banking.
Approach
AMF Media Group began with market research and a full brand assessment, then applied our findings to create a new look and messaging that better expressed the bank’s premier position. We developed the strategy, vision, creative, goals, metrics, final deliverables and media buys for the relaunch of the brand. We positioned the bank as a thought leader through benchmark reports and events — all centered around the concerns and needs of business owners.
Outcome
Television, radio, print, outdoor and digital advertisements, as well as earned coverage, ran across a slate of business-focused media outlets throughout Northern California, increasing customer reaction and response.

Deliverables
Brand Identity
AMF established a sophisticated new look for the forward-thinking business bank. An inspiring new logo, a bright, gold-centric color palette, and updated modern typography all embodied CBC’s commitment to serving businesses through professional and straightforward client service.
Commercial
AMF created three high-quality broadcast commercials that spoke to business executives in the professional services, manufacturing and construction industries. The message was clear: California Bank of Commerce is the Premier Business Bank built, designed and focused on serving businesses.
Website
The new identity was implemented through a new website designed to house a wealth of information regarding the bank and its service offerings.
Advertisement
The sophisticated new CBC stood out in the marketplace with thoughtful television and radio commercials, print advertisements, digital advertising and earned media stories.
