-- Approach Positions Regional Bank as Strong and Empathetic Alternative to Big Banks --

BETHESDA, MD (June 25, 2024) – Proudly woman-owned and independent, full-service marketing agency RP3 today announced the launch of a new integrated brand campaign for Atlantic Union Bank aimed at establishing the regional bank as a refreshing, customer-focused alternative to large national institutions. RP3 was named the creative agency of record for Atlantic Union Bank earlier this year.

The "Any Way You Bank" campaign takes a non-traditional approach, zeroing in on what people want but don’t currently receive from big banks, and positioning Atlantic Union Bank as a more empathetic, human, and friendly partner for personal and business banking needs.

"While most of us operate our day-to-day banking on autopilot, we've all experienced that striking absence of understanding from the big banks during important life moments when we need them most," said Christine Landi, Chief Marketing Officer at the Richmond-based Atlantic Union Bank. "This campaign brings that frustration to life in a fun, insightful way that celebrates how Atlantic Union does things differently – with bankers who listen and tailor smart solutions any way you need to bank."

Campaign ads playfully contrast Atlantic Union Bank’s helpful, caring humans with big bank’s overreliance on technology and cookie cutter approach with headlines like  "AnyWay You Run Your Business," "Any Way You Live Your Best Life," and "We Don't Have Tellers. We Have Listeners." The integrated campaign spans television, social media, radio, out-of-home, digital and other channels including streaming audio and podcasts across Atlantic Union Bank’s footprint in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina.

“The 'Any Way You Bank' platform perfectly captures Atlantic Union Bank’s customer-centric approach in a bold, insightful way that will make people stop and rethink what's possible from their bank,’ said RP3 Founder-CEO Beth Johnson. “We are incredibly proud of this campaign, as it demonstrates the power of teamwork and shared vision between our agency and the client.”

The new campaign launched earlier this month supplements Atlantic Union Bank's communications highlighting its versatile capabilities and commitment to serving customers across personal, business, and commercial banking solutions.

"This campaign brings our 'Any Way You Bank' philosophy to life in a compelling way that will drive new awareness and consideration for Atlantic Union Bank in the markets we serve," added Landi. "We're excited to partner with RP3 to showcase a credible, viable banking alternative that consumers can get excited about."

RP3 collaborated with woman-owned performance media marketing partner Spurrier Group on the campaign’s media buy.
