Invested in Van Wert

Following a strategic planning process, First Federal of Van Wert (FFVW) expanded with a new northern location, serving more residents with more convenience and accessibility. This significant investment—coupled with an evolving marketplace—presented First Federal of Van Wert with the opportunity to strengthen its positioning and build upon existing brand equity.

FFVW and OLG partnered to complete a comprehensive brand assessment through our Soul Sessions Brand Workshops. Through this work, OLG developed a case for a new visual and verbal identity.

We created a new logo, supporting visual assets, brand platform and manifesto, core values, as well as positioning statements for both personal and business banking. We also helped FFVW roll out the new brand, creating talking points and a rollout plan for them to execute.

First Federal of Van Wert, congratulations on your expansion, and thank you for trusting us in this process!
