Brady/Callahan was once Brady & Callahan. But as part of a complete rebranding initiative from Shark, a shift in the name was only part of more comprehensive marketing including a new logo, new brand advertising, a new responsive (and a bit of Parallax web development) website, and new SEO and SEM strategies. It's all visible at BradyCallahan.com

Dark, rich, and sweet, Grade B maple syrup almost goes unnoticed compared to Vermont's marketing of the lighter Grade A. So, we created our own brand, Robusto which is getting ready to launch in the fall of 2014.
A new, late summer and early fall bank ad for Boston-based, Brookline Bank, is taking shape and destined for both tradtional and digital media. You can also see Shark's dogs here.
Some new branding and a new corporate website coming online, but for now, some straight forward, lead generation starts here.



We've heard through "the grapevine" that a new business banking ad from Shark has Brookline Bank management and staff smiling. With respect to full-disclosure, at the client's request, we did give the guy a cleaner haircut.

Here's some new bank web design - actually, for multiple banks, utilizing html5 animation and integrated into a beautifully responsive template. We've also integrated additional panels below on the homepage for better display of key content.

A comprehensive overhaul of USA Risk Group's brand identity is evidenty in the redesign of the company's corporate website. The new website features Responsive Web Design from Shark, a new logo, brand interface and advertising campaign.

Just finishing the initial concept and design for Shark's new house ad. We see how it works in print, but how it takes shape in digital media is still unknown...

Burlington, VT – September 2013 – A blend of creativity and sophistication sets the tone for new bank advertising from Shark Communications. Designed by Shark for Boston-based client Brookline Bank, the new marketing campaign features a series of upscale and stylish images, text, and headlines positioning the bank as a valuable partner to its customers. Initial ads to be launched include an image of a barefoot couple on a beach paired with the headline "Calm is three days with your shoes off... knowing your bank is always on." and an image of a luxury sports car with the headline "Exhilaration is shifting into high gear... and knowing your bank can too." The ads build on bank marketing initiated and designed by Shark in 2008, intended to reposition and broaden Brookline Bank's appeal to include a younger customer demographic.
Peter Jacobs, Shark Communications' Creative Director noted, "The new brand ads for Brookline Bank represent CEO Paul Perrault and Brookline executive management's preference for marketing that places more weight on well-crafted, well-managed brand image marketing. It's not only a smart and sophisticated bank marketing strategy, but quite different from most bank advertising that tends to lean toward more standard themes — community, trust, savings rates — with images that include head shots of smiling employees."
The new advertising (which can be seen on Shark Communication's website at www.sharkcomm.com) rolls out across the Greater Boston metro area as an integrated digital and traditional media campaign. Media channels include search engine display networks, direct placement and online media buys, mobile advertising, print media, outdoor, and posters inside Brookline Bank branch offices.
