Award Winning Strategies

Our Strategy:  Let’s put our money and energy where it matters – back into the community.

The Result:  Amazing customer experience for their clients, an uptick in employee morale, and the bling and recognition they so deserved!

Red Barn client, Litchfield Bancorp,  was recently selected as one of 18 community banks and credit unions throughout New England as a Community Hero by American Business Media, publisher of Banking New England and Centerpoint magazines.. Litchfield Bancorp was chosen for going above and beyond to help aid the community.

In the category of economic development, the Bank was selected and  awarded Gold Standing for their Community Cash Mobs. These Cash Mobs are held monthly to help increase different business’ brand awareness and create potential repeat business by supplying employees with a stipend to spend at selected local businesses. Litchfield Bancorp employees “mob” the business of the month with sales and promote the activity on social media to bank customers and followers alike.

Banking Award

COO Paul McLaughlin said it best…

“We are so thankful and proud to have received this tremendous award. One of our fundamental missions here at Litchfield Bancorp is to give back to the businesses and communities we serve. Hopefully this award represents that, while also pointing out all of the LBC heroes we are so grateful to work with each and every day!”

Marketing Implementation

Beyond the Strategy, we’re here to get the work DONE with you

A marketing strategy is only as good as the paper it’s printed on unless it’s implemented.  We work closely with your team to determine who is doing what. The work can be outsourced to Team Red Barn soup to nuts, or we can work to identify talent within your ranks and train them to be master implementers.

“I have been thoroughly impressed with their responsiveness, marketing expertise and enthusiasm…”

Litchfield Bancorp has been using Red Barn Consulting as our marketing firm for the past several years. They are available 24/7 for whatever we may ask of them. In this day and age where working with outside firms can be painful, Red Barn has proven to be the exact opposite. Thank you!!!

Paul McLaughlin | COO/Senior VP – Litchfield Bancorp

“The team at Red Barn was tenacious about deadlines, deliverables and assigning responsibility…”

The Bank’s legacy Website was obsolete and the technology was limiting the economic value to the Bank for addressing the needs of our customers and prospects. Red Barn Consulting was engaged to develop a new website; including the right integrated digital strategies to deliver our marketing messages, products and banking functions. Red Barn Consulting has the subject matter experts to understand the banking industry, technology platforms that best fit our needs and the creative staff that delivered function as well as great aesthetics. In the end, the new Website was delivered on time, on budget and all of our expectations were met.
