Formerly GE Capital Retail Finance, Synchrony Financial, is one of the premier consumer financial services companies in the United States and is the largest provider of private label credit cards since its begining in 1932. Yesterday, Synchrony Financial announced their launch of a national media and branding campaign that includes print, broadcast and digital media and out-of-home advertising. Synchrony Financial partnered with Interbrand on the development of its new branding and Ogilvy & Mather is the agency behind its corporate advertising campaign which is aimed to separate them from GE. 

The corporate advertising campaign will represent the company’s alignment with its business partners

The brand will be launched through advertising across multiple channels to reach key industries where Synchrony Financial has a deep presence. The new branding of a new name and logo will be carried out by Ogilvy & Mather with the tagline - Engage with us. The corporate advertising campaign will include Print ads in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and trade publications, TV spots, airport advertising and digital ads across multiple properties. 

The "Engage with us" campaign will confirm the company’s view that every interaction with its partners and customers represents an opportunity for Synchrony Financial to engage with partners and help grow their business. Also the new logo, featuringgold pillars that create a stylized “S”, represent the company’s alignment with its business partners, customers and employees, all working in sync with each other. The corporate color palette of grays and gold delivers a balance of strength, stability, warmth and openness. Together, the brand attributes create a memorable identity that’s unique to the financial services world today.

Introducing Synchrony Financial

Margaret Keane, President and CEO of Synchrony Financial, said, “After conducting extensive research with key stakeholders, we are proud to launch a Synchrony Financial brand campaign that truly represents who we are as a company and the value proposition we offer to our stakeholders. We help our partners engage, grow and drive deeper loyalty with their customers through leveraging data and analytics, along with programs that drive results.”

Toni White, Chief Marketing Officer, added, “While our name is new, our company has an 80-year history of financial stability, experience and operational excellence. We have not strayed from our core foundation, which is based on the deep partnerships we establish with our clients.”

“We chose to symbolize our commitment to our partners by featuring two hands in synchrony with one another. Working in harmony, our campaign represents how Synchrony Financial works with its partners at the deepest levels, understanding that our industry is about people first. It is how we work to engage people, understand people, and build loyalty with people with every engagement,” stated White.
