Annual Report
Alder developed several brand communication campaigns, concepts, and communication materials for the bank tailored to the unique personality of the bank. An overall campaign theme was also developed.
Based on the overall theme, concept materials such as brochures, fliers, adverts (print, electronic and outdoor) and scroll banners were produced.
Alder conceptualised the idea for the song was birthed during an in-house strategy session for Guaranty Trust Bank’s marketing campaign. Following approval by the bank, Alder managed negotiations with Asa (the bank’s preferred artiste) and her team. The outcome was an inspired single titled “The Place to be”.
The song that captured the essence of Guaranty Trust Bank and the Bank’s Orange Rules – Simplicity, Professionalism, Trustworthiness, Excellence, Service, Social Responsibility, Friendliness, and Innovation.
In celebration of the innovative and pioneering spirit of Guaranty Trust Bank, Alder proposed the development of the first corporate postage stamps in Nigeria.
Designs and applications for the stamps were done by Alder. We also negotiated with the Nigerian Postal Service through the Nigerian Philatelic Society on behalf of the bank.
A press conference was held at the head office of the Bank to officially launch the commemorative stamp. A collector’s edition of the stamps was given out to guests at the bank’s 20th-anniversary dinner event.
Alder developed the bank’s annual report based on the overall brand communication theme.
