When the bank developed its annual report, its goal was to create a visually compelling piece that detailed the institution’s financial strength and ability to grow in one of the most challenging years for the financial services industry.

The theme "Grow Iowa" was tied into a recent advertising campaign, "Live Iowa. Work Iowa. Bank Iowa."

The photography tried to capture the essence of the communities served by the bank. It also gives a flavor for the state.

This year, in addition to the traditional client testimonials, the report featured some of the bank employees as well as their customer service values.

Uncommon and Uncompromising

Institution: UMB Bank N.A., Kansas City, Mo.

Agency: Genesis

The bank’s challenge with its annual report was how to convey the right balance between the tumult in the economy and the fact that the company posted record results. The bank purposely selected a clean, simple cover with two compelling words–uncommon and uncompromising–to convey an image of stability, simplicity and humility.

The bank took the opportunity, because of its record year, to highlight its performance against the industry’s in a bold inside front-cover spread. On the inside, the bank used elegant black and white photography, instead of color shots–and depicting its leadership team "at work" instead of in a formal portrait–to convey confidence.

A Different Story, All Together

Institution: Key Foundation (Key Bank, Cleveland)

Agency: Adcom Communications

"A Different Story. All Together" was intended to convey the foundation’s commitment to philanthropy and diversity,nike, and its focus on promoting economic self-sufficiency in the communities it serves. It is also intended to educate the audience to the various success stories Key’s charitable giving programs have created over the past year.

The foundation wanted a unique way to reflect the diversity of its philanthropic programs and the people that benefit from them. Instead of using more "expected" stock photography to identify different genders, ages and ethnicities, unique aerial shots depicting diverse groups of people coming together and forming shapes were used. The image composition represented results and related to the content to help tell the story. Members of the community who directly benefited from Key’s charitable giving were the storytellers, giving readers personal insight to the transformations that the foundation was able to be a part of.
