The Client
Firstrust Bank

The Challenge
Facing a market that was highly commoditized and
increasingly saturated with marketing communications from
better financed national banks, Firstrust Bank asked D+P to
help it brand its new commercial banking group.

Our Strategy
We knew from the start that differentiation was the key.
Through media relations, targeted community-relations
initiatives and strategic partnerships with other organizations,
we aimed to position Firstrust as a 75-year-old, family-owned
business with a unique understanding of family-owned
business needs.

Our Results




 community newspapers.

Results Plus
We developed the “Family First” program for Firstrust Bank
in partnership with the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce – the region’s first, comprehensive program
exclusively supporting family-owned businesses. The
program includes educational seminars, a “Family Business
Excellence” awards program, networking opportunities, a
leadership forum and a Web site full of advice.
