The challenge

What needed to be solved

Banks and credit unions operate in a regulated, relationship-driven market. Winning the work requires more than media knowledge: a seller must understand institutional priorities, communicate credibly with executives, coordinate technical delivery, and remain useful after launch.

The approach

How I structured the work

  • Built a prospecting motion around relevant institutional needs rather than generic agency capabilities.

  • Connected deposit growth, loan demand, account acquisition, and market presence to focused digital programs.

  • Owned the handoff into onboarding and technical integration instead of disappearing after the signature.

  • Used analytics, regular check-ins, and strategy sessions to make performance legible and keep priorities aligned.
