Case study Baker Hill

Client since 2017

Website redesign and digital marketing efforts grow sales pipeline

TBH Creative and Baker Hill started with the core question: What problems can Baker Hill solve for their clients? That client-focused approach guides all of our marketing efforts.

Through this ongoing partnership, TBH Creative supports Baker Hill’s business goals with digital and traditional marketing work, including everything from creating email workflows and inbound campaigns to helping with internal branding and event marketing.

Goals—

  • Redesign and optimize the Baker Hill website to better present service offerings and attract new leads
  • Add depth to digital marketing campaigns by building landing pages, producing video content, writing blog posts, designing infographics, and more
  • Develop, execute, analyze, and refine email marketing automation strategies to support lead generation
  • Drive targeted traffic to the Baker Hill website with ROI-focused Google Ads management and reporting

Branding

TBH Creative refined Baker Hill’s logo and color palette to strengthen and modernize their brand identity assets.

We focused on creating a more dynamic, cohesive, and comprehensive identity system with the flexibility to work in a wide range of applications, both online and offline.

Though we completed our first—and primary—integration of their updated brand identity assets as part of our website redesign work, TBH Creative continues to help Baker Hill incorporate their refreshed logo and color palette into everything from tradeshow booth and office signage to sales collateral materials, such as posters and magazine advertisements.

History wall

Using custom dimensions of an interior wall at Baker Hill headquarters, we designed a 68-foot display showcasing the company’s history to celebrate accomplishments, note milestones, and encourage team pride.

Event marketing

The annual Prosper conference for Baker Hill customers includes workshops, lectures, product demos, and more. Starting in 2016, we helped Baker Hill’s marketing team completely rebrand and re-introduce the event. On-going services include:

  • Event wayfinding signage
  • Mobile app visuals
  • Email templates and automated email marketing campaigns
  • PowerPoint template development for all presentations

See more examples from the first year's event

Video marketing

As part of their rebranding launch, TBH Creative created a handful of videos, including one that uses storytelling to showcase the features of the new Baker Hill NextGen lending solution. Through that video, we help educate prospects about the features and functions of the new banking software.

“I engaged TBH Creative to assist with a full re-branding and digital marketing effort for Baker Hill, and, in many ways, we learned the financial technology industry together. In TBH Creative we have found a true marketing partner—not an order taker—and that keeps my internal team on our toes and always thinking. I appreciate their perspective just as much as the quality of their work.”
