Ulanguzi Launches Marketing Campaign for TrustAtlantic Bank

Campaign adds a comedic twist in transition to new banking technology

RALEIGH, N.C. (December 2, 2008) Ulanguzi Creative Strategies, one of Raleigh's leading design agencies, and TrustAtlantic Bank announce the launch of Carl's Job Hunt, a campaign highlighting TrustAtlantic Bank's new Remote Deposit Capture technology.

The campaign follows Carl, a down-on-his-luck pneumatic canister and former icon of drive-thru banking, in his search for a new purpose. TrustAtlantic Bank's new Remote Deposit Capture, a technology that allows customers to process check deposits from the convenience of their own office, is making the hassle of trips to the bank, as well as Carl's main function a thing of the past.

"We really enjoy working with Ulanguzi because they bring an innovative approach to their work and an ability to understand and capture larger cultural trends. Their team creates and moves seamlessly between so many communications channels, both traditional and cutting edge," said James A. Beck, President and Chief Executive Officer, TrustAtlantic Bank.

Ulanguzi launched Carl's hunt for a new purpose simultaneously on YouTube, Facebook and the Web via a microsite and presence on TrustAtlantic Bank's own Website. The centerpiece of the campaign is a series of documentary-style videos featured on CarlsJobHunt.com that details the travails of Carl in his attempt to find a new job and the comic shortcomings that result.

"In tenuous economic times, you can't bury your head in the sand and wait for the clouds to part. You have to be smart, creative and effective with every dollar you spend," said Kenneth Penkowski, partner, Ulanguzi Creative Strategies. "We have spent considerable effort building a talented, diverse, multi-disciplinary team at Ulanguzi, and everyone on our team contributed instrumentally in this campaign's success."
