Lake Ridge Bank website and mobile app mockups

The Work

Lake Ridge Bank is one of Wisconsin's largest community banks, and it carried the split personality that comes with that. Big enough to compete with the national names, local enough that customers still expect to be known by name. The brand and the website hadn't caught up to either side. We were brought in to close that gap.

Strategy

The line we protected was community bank at scale. The identity had to feel established and trustworthy without going cold and corporate, and the digital experience had to make a large institution feel approachable. We kept one creative direction across the work, so every piece, from a billboard to a mobile app screen, pulled the same way.

Solution

The bank's in-house creative director set the mark and the palette. We developed the brand out from there: creative direction for the UI and UX, layout, the user journey, mobile optimization, marketing strategy, the direction of the photography, and how the mark itself was used as a symbol. The system runs from the homepage to the app to print, so the bank looks like one place everywhere a customer meets it.

Impact

Lake Ridge came out of the work reading as modern and personal at once, with its identity carried consistently across every channel it shows up in.

The big idea

A community bank that scaled without going cold.
