First Bank & Trust Case Study
Challenges:
- Take a high-profile sports related spokesperson and make him relevant to business banking

- Develop a campaign that could be easily modified, and have lasting results with extremely limited access to spokesperson
- Get the spots on the air in a matter of days without breaking the budget
Strategy:

- Demonstrated how business is personal for both the Saints and First Bank & Trust

Results:
- By utilizing Berning's in-house production resources, Berning was able to produce and distribute the campaign cost-effectively, in a matter of days
