Transforming Family Bank Branch Identity Through Strategic Branding & Production Excellence

Family Bank, one of Kenya’s most trusted financial institutions, embarked on a nationwide effort to modernize and unify its branch identity. The objective was to create a cohesive, customer-centric retail experience that reflected the bank’s evolving brand strategy and strengthened its presence in competitive urban environments.

E&M Creative Agency Limited was commissioned to design and execute a complete transformation of the branch—from the visual identity and signage system to interior and exterior brand elements. The brief required high-impact design, precision production, and flawless installation, all delivered within a tight timeline and without disrupting day-to-day banking services.

Our Role

As the lead branding and production partner, E&M Creative Agency delivered a full end-to-end solution, combining creative strategy with technical execution. Our team developed refreshed visual concepts aligned with Family Bank’s brand guidelines, ensuring consistency across every customer touchpoint—from storefront visibility to interior navigation.

We managed the entire production workflow, including the printing of high-resolution, UV-resistant vinyl; fabrication of custom 3D illuminated signage; and creation of directional and service displays. Our installation teams worked on-site with surgical precision—dismantling outdated elements, applying new graphics, and mounting signage without interrupting banking operations.

Through meticulous coordination, premium materials, and design-led execution, we transformed the branch into a compelling retail environment that enhanced walk-in traffic, improved brand recall, and strengthened Family Bank’s identity as a modern, customer-focused financial institution.

Family Bank, a leading financial institution in Kenya, sought to revamp its branch identity to align with its evolving brand strategy. The goal was to create a visually cohesive, modern, and high-impact retail experience that would resonate with both walk-in customers and passersby. The project required a full-scope branding solution—from concept design to final installation—executed within a tight timeline and with zero disruption to banking operations.
