First Horizon was born out of the merger of First Tennessee and Capital Bank. The organization selected our team at The Buntin Group to help with the announcement of their new identity and partnership. Following the initial brand launch, we created a second campaign to promote the resilience of local businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.

Less than a year after First Horizon’s initial brand launch, the world was hit with a global pandemic.
