Financial Marketing
At last count we tallied six banks using some variation of the promise, “Not Your Typical Bank.” Which leads us to wonder how to tell the six apart. We might suggest, “Your Typical Bank” as an option. We’re poking fun, but finding a unique position and making it your own is hard work in banking or any other financial service. After all, “Not Your Typical Bank” undoubtedly began with research about buyer dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, everyone appears to have reached the same lame creative conclusion. Time to try harder. As Yogi Berra advised, “Hit ‘em where they ain’t.”
