The ‘Colorful Solutions’ of Norway Business Banking
Norway Savings Bank has created a series of “colorful” broadcast and print advertising targeted at Norway’s small business customer base. The ad campaign includes six television and corresponding six print ads with a platform of “Colorful Solutions.”
“Each small business chosen to be profiled was represented as a different color in the colorful solutions concept,” said Leslie Evans, of Leslie Evan Design Associates, the agency that produced the work.
Print ads are running in regional magazine and the television spots are also appearing regionally.
Based in Maine, Norway Savings Bank has just under $1 billion in assets.

Leslie Evan has done a great job building a brand platform for Norway Savings. As a Mainer, I’ve had the opportunity to see the work in the marketplace – and it has evolved nicely. They now have a distinct voice and POV, expressed through a consistant creative approach. A small bank among many, they have clearly set themselves apart by following the advice of their agency. Congrats.
Thanks for the observation and comment Jeffrey.
