As the credit card market becomes increasingly competitive, Zions Bancorporation decided to introduce three new credit card products to better serve their mass-market consumer base. Built around the three most popular card categories (cash back, rewards and simplicity), these new cards would each require a unique brand, yet would also still need to fit in Zions Bancorporation’s family of credit card offerings.
To establish these three brands and their respective go-to-market materials, Zions Bancorp turned to Media Logic. From card design and positioning to visual identity, we helped establish a unique brand for each card. Then, to help affiliates launch the new cards, we developed both brand guidelines and a comprehensive Marketing and Messaging Guide, complete with customizable marketing materials.
To further help support the launch, we produced a series of product videos, developed product pages for each affiliate’s website, card carriers and content for an Early-Month-on-Book campaign.

Despite being labeled as "digital natives," Millennials are increasingly seeking a return to physical, analog experiences- a cultural shift that has significant implications for financial services marketing.
The credit card market is facing a paradox. Nearly half of U.S. consumers doubt they'd be approved for a new credit card—even as card applications hit their highest levels since pre-pandemic times. This disconnect between perception and reality, combined with shifting usage patterns across generations and risk tiers, requires a fundamental rethink of acquisition strategies.
Branch expansion intent jumped from 29% to 35% year-over-year with credit unions leading at 61% (Financial Brand).The days of assuming sophisticated branch strategies are exclusive to big banks are over. Regional banks, community banks, and credit unions aren't just keeping pace—they're setting the innovation standard. While large institutions focus on scale, smaller players are winning through strategic thinking applied to local advantages.
