Here’s the latest from Wells Fargo as they continue to rollout marketing that addresses their merger with Wachovia.
What’s interesting about the first two TV spots (“College” and “Dog Rescue”) is that they bear the Wachovia name and logo. There’s no Wells Fargo logo, only a line that says, “A Wells Fargo Company.”
