Back in 1988, founding principal Mark Weber had a hunch that financial institutions could be transformed by smart, strategic branding and merchandising. Two decades and hundreds of success stories later, it looks like he was right.
Mark’s 25-year marketing career in the financial services industry included positions as the senior marketing officer for two highly profitable Washington-state financial institutions. There he managed all marketing, strategic planning, sales training & SEG development, advertising, branding, PR, and retail branch environments.
Mark is a national speaker and author in the financial industry creating many articles, journals, and white papers on brand strategies, retail branching, naming, Web design and marketing growth strategies. He is the President and CEO of Weber Marketing Group, an advisor to the Financial Services Group of Microsoft Corporation, and a graduate of Arizona State University.
Every industry has one expert that the other experts turn to. In ours, it’s Paul Seibert. He’s considered one of the financial industry’s leading authority on strategic planning. With 30 million square feet and 1200 branches under his belt, it’s not hard to see why.
Paul oversees strategic branch and operations planning; and new branch business modeling and prototyping at EHS Design. His comprehensive understanding of what works and what does not in both the retail and operations aspects of financial institution facilities makes him a sought after consultant and speaker.
Paul has written the nation’s leading comprehensive books on strategic planning, retail branching, market analysis, design, and architecture for banks and credit unions, through the Credit Union Executives Society (CUES) and Sheshunoff Information Services, and partnered with Mark Weber of Weber Marketing Group on numerous projects.
