Digital Banking Evaluation Journey

Marketing Toolkit Best Practices

What to include in your digital banking marketing toolkit

Know how to communicate, coordinate, and launch confidently
A new platform can only go as far as your users are ready to follow. Launching a digital banking platform is a major milestone, but without the right communication strategy, even the best technology rollout can miss the mark. To ensure a smooth transition, your financial institution needs more than a go-live date. You need a plan to prepare employees, inform account holders, and inspire confidence on day one. This is your opportunity to bridge the gap between change and clarity.

The Marketing Toolkit Best Practices guide gives you the structure and insight to do exactly that. It outlines what to communicate, when to say it, and how to equip every audience so your launch isn’t just successful, it’s embraced.
