SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 11, 2013) - Bridge Capital Holdings (
"I am proud of the result of this extensive, research-based project for which we relied heavily on the input of our clients, employees and the broader business community," said Daniel P. Myers, president and CEO of Bridge Bank. "We believe this enhanced way of communicating who we are more accurately represents the unique experience we have provided to businesses since our inception in 2001. We now have new tools to increase our visibility in the market and better position the bank to identify growth opportunities now and into the future."
Bridge Bank's redesigned website -- www.bridgebank.com -- was launched today, along with its updated logo and tagline -- "Be bold, venture wisely."
"Our new tagline is meant to encapsulate the Bridge Bank experience," said Ryan Barringer, senior vice president of marketing and brand strategy for Bridge Bank. "Additionally, it is a challenge to entrepreneurs to pursue new ideas and business ventures, but to do so prudently and with the help of a trusted partner." The bank's brand is defined by four key elements: the uniquely qualified people the bank recruits and develops, the bank's commitment to being flexible and to provide customized solutions, its entrepreneurial spirit that helps it to understand and solve the challenges of its clients and the bank's small- and mid-market expertise.
Bridge Bank engaged San Francisco-based advertising agency, Engine Company One, to facilitate the brand evolution project. "Bridge Bank has such a clear point of difference in their category," said Scott Aal, creative director and partner of Engine Company One. "Our goal was to make sure that potential clients understand that in the same way that their current clients do."
