KEY PROJECT GOALS
INSIGHT:The Brand Equity in the community is strong and extremely leverageable
INSIGHT:The vault of customer stories gathered over the years needs to be shared more effectively, using different media to allow the stories to communicate the emotional message of service
INSIGHT:Financial well-being requires more than access to information. To succeed, CGB must change customer behaviors and reinforce education in a “cradle to cradle” manner
INSIGHT:There’s an opportunity to combine programs to further leverage their effectiveness. Create interceptions to cross-leverage current efforts between small business, personal banking, local business highlight, foreign language programs

HYPOTHESIS
1. ULTRA-SERVICE 2. MONEYWI$E 3. CG LIFE
Create and patent a new customer service protocol, one that is unlike
anything else in the world, yet totally Chelsea Groton
Think of companies that have made the customer service and customer interaction the key
differentiator for their business.
Build a community of learning where CG’s members and associates share
experiences and financial knowledgein a “club-like” atmosphere.
Think: “Come curious—leave knowing” Creating a third place where customers gain the wisdom that leads to
financial freedom. Transform the environment to accommodate social events and community building.
Transform CG to a lifestyle brand at the epicenter of a community of like-minded
individuals who seek events and sessions with a lifestyle focus.
Think of companies that are the center of their customer’s lifestyle - Harley Davidson, Whole Foods, Planet Fitness,
Hard Rock, W Hotels, REI

CG LIFEWI$E OVERARCHING MESSAGEEmphasizes the dual benefits of service & lifestyle as a purposeful path to financial wellbeing.
Membership is redefined as a differentiator and a means to attract new customers. The
message is personal with heartfelt client stories that connect emotionally.
LAYER 1 (Education):The first layer emphasizes the benefits of education. The Message starts or ends with a
question. “Do/Did you know?” it promotes curiosity and motivates members to dig deeper.
LAYER 2 (Support):The CG community of coaches and mentors will encourage members along the way, it’s
a support group to further motivate members in the pursuit of FW. Community also means
outreach, bank and members give back.
LAYER 3 (Results):Inspirational stories from our personal & business banking members in the form of
testimonials will be the most direct way to communicate the success of our new approach.
LAYER 4 (Financial Wellbeing):“Membership has its benefits.”.The opportunity to redeem rewards and/or give back to the
community is our strongest message for this layer of communication.
