Cornerstone Wins Sandy Spring Bank

ATLANTA Sandy Spring Bank has selected Cornerstone to handle creative and media planning and buying duties after a review of three local shops, the bank said.

The independent Baltimore shop begins its assignment by producing the bank’s 2005 annual report. A new ad campaign that will include television, radio, print, direct mail, public relations and collateral material is scheduled to launch in March. Ads will run regionally in areas of Maryland where the bank operates.

“We were immediately impressed with Cornerstone’s creative capabilities and experience in brand development and integrated communications,” said Jim Burrows, director of marketing for the Baltimore-based bank.
