It was a record year for American Marine Bank in 2003. In a year when other financial institutions were scrambling to reduce losses, AMB had their best results ever. All this, while a major remodel of their main office was ongoing.

The annual report featured photos of their newly remodeled headquarters, along with 5 featured businesses that are customers of AMB. The photo sessions were the most creative, and fun, of any we’ve done together yet. American Marine Bank treats their customers like family, and many of the relationships have been going on literally for decades.

Amongst all the financial reporting that is required in an annual report, and which is so critical to a bank, it’s terrific that the message of how important the customers are to the bank. Not only as folks with whom to do business, but as people that the bank enjoys being around. We captured some of that feeling, and it made for a great annual report.
