First Republic
In the early 1990s, First Republic's CEO and founder, Jim Herbert, was looking for an agency to help capture the Bank's unique and personal banking service model in a brand messaging campaign. They engaged Howry to produce their 1994 report, which marked the beginning of a collaboration that spanned over 30 years. Howry developed the testimonial concept "Our Clients Say It Best," which became a guiding principle for the Bank's growth and success. Our work in creating memorable brand messaging for First Republic played a significant role in supporting their growth and customer acquisition and a cornerstone for the Bank's marketing, Private Wealth Management, and HR departments in their communications with customers and investors. First Republic's annual reports were often recognized as one of the top 30 most effective annual reports in the country.
“Our annual report is an invaluable marketing tool for us. For many years, Howry has succeeded in designing and producing communications for us that genuinely reflects our commitment to customer service. Their reliability, quality of service and attention to detail is extraordinary.”

North Point Mergers & Acqusitions
North Point is a leading independent investment bank focused on providing financial advice on mergers and acquisitions and raising institutional capital to meet the growth objectives of their clients. North Point asked Howry to create their first marketing book to feature their client deals. North Point’s CEO paid us the ultimate compliment by commenting that he placed the brochure on his kitchen counter to inspire him each morning. This has led to a 10+ year partnership and we are proud that North Point entrusts Howry with their communications, and marketing collateral and their email campaign as they reach out to existing and potential clients.
“We are extremely excited about our new brand identity, website and brochure that Howry produced for us. These new firm touch points will have an incredible impact on our practice going forward.”
