overview
Capital One purchased Beech Street Capital
to bolster its position as a leader in multi-family
real estate investment financing. Capital One
sought to transfer the considerable brand equity
Beech Street commands to the new Capital One
Multifamily unit of Capital One Commercial Bank.
strategy
Everything I love about Beech Street will stay the
same even after Capital One merges with them.
execution
The “ad within an ad” approach works well by
showing Capital One Multifamily as integral to the
success of financing buildings much like the ones
in which the target audience would be investing.
Using Beech Street’s leaf logo is a wink to the
audience that only the name is changing.
results
Capital One Commercial Bank experienced no
loss to its client base as it established itself as a
leader in the multifamily space.

capital one home
loans visual system
overview
Capital One Home Loans (COHL), a business
unit of Capital One inherited a brand style from
the acquisition of ING that is incongruous with
the master brand. COHL needed a visual system
that aligned with the executions of other business
units, while maintaining a style that is unmistakable
for home loans.
strategy
Develop a visual system that follows the construct
of the master brand, but base color, voice and
image selection on the four pillars of clarity,
advocacy, transparency and empathy. Each pillar
can be manifested in each touch point.
execution
Using warmer brand colors paired with joyful
images from the home ownership experience,
we created a visual style that identified both
the market and the audience in a way that feels
comforting and friendly. Initial response has been
overwhelmingly positive.
results
The Visual System has served as the basis for
Home Loans creative executions and marked an
expansion of the brand.

OUR AUDIENCE
ACCEPTED CUSTOMER BELIEFS/KEY CONCERNS
Regardless of demographic, our audience
holds a dim view of large financial
institutions. Specifically, they are
concerned that banks do not have
their best interests at heart and
that unpleasant surprises await
around every corner.
They feel that mortgage lenders do not
disclose information in a timely manner
if at all. Mortgage seekers come to the
market with a limited knowledge of
key terms and feel uncomfortable and
intimidated by what they see as esoteric
knowledge of the mortgage provider.
Key concerns:
(numbers represent the percentage of respondents that consider issue
a primary concern when buying a home)
58%
Hidden costs at closing
46%
Lender not looking out
for my best interests
44%
Lender not responding
to my questions in a
timely manner
Other concerns lead to the conclusion
that mortgage consumers fear that
banks use their knowledge of the market
to their benefit and that consumers are
at the mercy of a complicated, opaque,
unpredictable process.

OUR PILLARS
Capital One Home Loans can win in the market by demonstrating at each touch point that we have the consumer’s
best interests at heart. In addition to a communicated mind set, Capital One Home Loans can create a visual
system that underscores the following notions:
CLARITY
Capital One Home Loans will communicate
with the consumer in clear language that
not only is clear to understand, it is relevant
to the particular loan s/he is seeking.
Banking terms are eschewed for a “here’s
what you really need to know” approach.
ADVOCACY
At every opportunity, Capital One Home Loans
will recognize that the key to our continued
success is a customer that feels cared for
and protected. Our relationship with our
customers is of paramount importance.
CERTAINTY
Communicating the pillars to the customer
creates certainty that the information that
they receive from us is truthful, relevant and
is in their best interest. They can be therefore
confident that the decisions they make based
on this information are the best possible.
TRANSPARENCY
Capital One Home Loans will keep the
consumer abreast of her loan’s process
until closing, alerting her to next steps and
potential issues. Preparing the mortgage
product customer to minimize surprises is a
key component of garnering trust.
EMPATHY
Capital One Home Loans can, subtly at least,
acknowledge that obtaining a mortgage is a
serious, sometimes daunting process.
By demonstrating empathy at each touch point
and communication, Capital One Home Loans
can solidify its position as a trusted source of
information and guidance.

strategy
Develop a visual system that modernized the

as the audience looks to this organization for

credibility. Slightly blowing out images makes
stock photography own-able.

IMAGES
The selection of images is an important part of the branding puzzle. While this is still being created, there are still guidelines to use
when developing presentations and materials.
Our standards are to utilizes photography over illustrations; people over concepts. We should strive to show a range in age, ethnic
groups and diversity whenever possible. Images should support our business and have a broad appeal to our C-level executives,
board members other people in our target market.
In order to stylize our images slightly, we recommend a slight enhancement of the color saturation and blur the image slightly. This
helps make royalty-free images appear different and modernized. Images need to compliment the content and serve more as a
partner to the copy and not the focal point.

MidCoast Community Bancorp, Inc.
2011 Annual Report
2
broad cross section of business types, and an equally broad
geographical market. This industry and market diversification is further
enhanced by our focus on commercial and industrial lending and
seasoned income-producing real estate properties. The basis of this
lending philosophy precludes the greater risk loan categories of land
and real estate development projects which only represent a small
portion of our lending activity the past five years.
The industry and geographic segmentation within our commercial
portfolio is shown in figures 3 and 4.
The combination of the bank’s loan growth and asset quality is
further supported by an experienced team of executives and
managers whose management philosophy embraces a proactive
approach to the operating challenges we face, in concert with firm
overhead discipline. The result has been not only sound asset growth,
but sustained profitability as well. The bank has been profitable since
January 2009 or 21 months since our opening. This was ahead of
most of our peer bank’s opened in 2007, and actually ahead of several
banks in 2006 as well.
The net profitability has now been consistent, and increasing over
the last 13 quarters (March 31, 2012). However, as a young, growing
commercial lending based community bank, the cost of growth often
temporarily offsets the actual annual net profit. This is evident
in our profit structure, which is impacted by the strong loan volume
we generate each year. Specifically, the associated loan loss provision
required to be expensed as new loans are booked, will reduce net
income for that specific year. While the interest income will in fact
earn well beyond the loan provision, the consecutive years of this
strong growth evidence the impact each year. However, at this point
in our development, this short-term net income loss is a desired
compromise to the ability to grow our market share and earning
asset base.
The net income was also impacted by the advent of tax liability in
2010. This was an initial considerable impact to profitability, which
however has since been absorbed. Due to this, to better illustrate
the growth in profitability, shown in Figure 5 is the bank’s pre-tax
net income from 2009-2011. Also shown is the offsetting loan loss
provision for each year that is directly related to the new loan volume.

the nj league of
humane voters
issue flyer
overview
The League of Humane Voters is a political
lobbying organization that seeks to enact
legislation that protects animal rights and oppose
laws that promote animal cruelty. The organization
targeted NJ Senate and Assembly bills that
sanctioned beaver trapping laws.
strategy
Design a marketing piece that caught the eye of
legislators and established The League’s credibility
through solid design to indicate their organization
and dedication.
execution
Using bold color, call-outs and graphic images of
animal caught in traps helped to create a stand-
out piece that cut through the clutter of home-
made fliers. The clear “NO” indicated at a glance
the call to action and the desired result of the
legislator acting accordingly.
results
The bill passed the New Jersey Legislature and
raised the visibility of the New Jersey League
of Humane Voters.

capital one small
business conversion
direct mail
overview
Capital One Small Business planned to inform its
legacy business customers that it was converting
their accounts to a Spark Small Business account.
The wrinkle was that many of the free accounts
were converting to accounts that carried a
monthly fee and the bank wanted to prevent
account leakage during the transition.
strategy
Inform the small business owner that her account
was changing to a new account that carried fees
that, when compared with the benefits that this
new account provided, created value.
execution
A simple creative layout belied the copy work
that the team did to make this letter pull double
duty. Strong headline illustrates the penalty of not
complying with the balancing call to action at the
bottom of the first page. A chart on the reverse
page highlighted the product benefits.
results
An orderly conversion with no significant loss
of accounts.
On 7/9/14, your account ending in [XXXX] will become Spark Business Basic CheckingSM
.
As a business owner, you know the value of seizing a great opportunity. And now you can do that with one of

account you can deposit up to $5,000 in cash monthly and make 100 transactions a month at no charge.

CheckingSM

“As a creative professional and leader, Franklin combines a keen aesthetic sense
with a real and sincere passion for branding. As Franklin’s colleague at Capital
One, I witnessed him coming into an area of tremendous opportunity, and doing
just exactly what you’d want your Creative Director to do in order to move the
brand forward. He is a great listener, a wonderful presenter, an effective
problem solver, and a thoughtful marketer.”
John Taylor, Senior Manager
Capital One
“I have had the opportunity to work with Franklin for a few years on a number of
projects. Franklin always takes the time to understand the customer, the client’s
expectations, the business goal and the competitive environment prior to
crafting a complete and compelling marketing plan. His depth of knowledge and
creativity represent a significant contribution to the end product and campaign.”
Mark McInnes, SVP, Product Development,
Bank of America
“Franklin consistently demonstrates a professional demeanor, he is extremely
knowledgeable of web design concepts and applications, which he is equally
able to communicate and teach to students. His ability to work effectively with
students (Clients) is commendable. He is dependable and willing to assume
additional responsibilities.”
George Slentz, Program Coordinator, iTac Division,

advertising world – he is vibrant, uniquely creative, and has a keen
business sense.”
Anne Keehan, Partner,

“I have known Franklin for nearly 10 years. While we have not worked together, we
have had many conversations about the nature and direction of our industry. In
that time and through those conversations, I have seen his understanding of the
strategy and science behind marketing and advertising grow.
He has a keen grasp of the interaction between the brand and the user and is
grounded in the use of visual communication to accomplish the business goal,
regardless of the vertical or touch point. I see him leading an enterprise’s brand/
advertising team, not only acting as their brand steward, but also as a visionary
who can see new possibilities for that brand as the market ecosystem changes.”
Greg Lehmkuhl, Creative Director,
Terrain/Urban Outfitters
In the world of creative design, Franklin’s approach is not only captivating to
his audience, but is delivered in the highest possible quality. He has a unique
ability to translate what his clients are trying to accomplish into highly usable

a pleasure to work with, represented our company well, and has become a trusted

personnel management. He exhibits grace under pressure, and is able to
effectively diagnose and troubleshoot any issue and address any project challenge
that is presented.
As a creative manager, Franklin excels at communication; both internally, with team
members, project managers, and product owners; and externally, with clients and
business partners. He clearly defines project objectives and responsibilities,
enabling creative team members to operate effectively and efficiently, while
retaining creative ownership.
Franklin’s ability to deliver a superior product and service, on time and in
budget, while promoting a comfortable and productive working environment, is
unparalleled. Franklin is an ideal, management-level addition to any established
department and a keystone centerpiece around which to assemble a team.”
