The challenge
What needed to be solved
I entered a regulated, relationship-driven market without an inherited financial-institution portfolio. Winning the work required more than media knowledge: I needed to create my own pipeline, understand institutional priorities, communicate credibly with executives, and guide complex decisions across marketing, lending, compliance, IT, analytics, and outside vendors.
The approach
What I personally owned
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.
