Established in Port Orchard in 1908, Kitsap Bank is an independent and family-owned financial institution serving six Western Washington counties.
Kitsap Bank wanted to engage new audiences and capture community essence with its annual report. Together we asked, would it be possible to create a piece of content that generates excitement about the bank’s community work, raises awareness for its cutting-edge banking technology and engages new target markets?
The answer was yes, we can. For the past five years, I’ve helped turn these formerly dull PDFs into creative digital experiences that connect customers, share stories of community members impacted by the bank’s Causing Good Initiatives, and match Kitsap Bank’s superb customer service.
The excitement and celebration of their 110th year and the launch of their new rebrand inspired the visual direction for this particular year. There was nothing that shouted celebration and colorful energy more to me than Carnival so that is what I used that as my inspiration on this site design.
