Two Mass. Banks Seek Shops

Two regional banks, Rockland Trust and Century Bank, have launched agency searches.

Rockland Trust has hired Pile and Co. to oversee the search for its $2-3 million account, which has been with Pierce-Coté, Osterville, Mass., for two years. The incumbent de-clined an invitation to participate, said shop president Rebecca Pierce, who would not elaborate. The agency had created print and collateral carrying the tag, “We’re all the bank you’ll ever need.”

The client seeks a shop that can help it expand both within and beyond its current geographic base, said marketing director Richard Hall.
