National Bank of Arizona Launches Elevate AZ Magazine

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Sep 2, 2014) - National Bank of Arizona (NB|AZ) is proud to announce the launch of its new corporate and client communication channel -- Elevate AZ magazine. The quarterly magazine will be mailed to clients of NB|AZ starting today with a limited supply of each issue available in NB|AZ branches statewide.

"When we were exploring ways to deepen the connections with our clients, our goal was to produce a piece that would foster a sense of community and celebrate the positive aspects of living and doing business in Arizona," said Mark Vance, vice president of marketing at NB|AZ and Elevate AZ's editor-in-chief. "Elevate AZ tells stories of passionate people throughout the state who make it a great place to live, work and dream."

Each issue of Elevate AZ will carry a specific theme supported by stories exclusive to the magazine about real people. Leadership is the theme of the inaugural issue. 

"It is fitting for our September issue to feature stories of people and businesses who are leading Arizona's resurgence," says Vance. "NB|AZ is hosting the 2014 Arizona Leadership Forum this month which will be attended by the state's leading CEOs, nonprofit leaders and government officials. Every attendee will receive a copy of Elevate AZ and the event, like the magazine, showcases the fine people and leaders who are making a difference in Arizona."

Vance hopes the bank's clients appreciate its approach to storytelling. "It is our hope that our clients enjoy the stories we share about our neighbors who are making Arizona such a great place to build a future," he says. "There are many positive things taking place in Arizona and we believe those are stories worth sharing."
