RICHMOND, Va., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- West Cary Group, a full-service, brand-advertising agency headquartered in Richmond, Va., has been selected as agency of record for Union First Market Bank. Since acquiring StellarOne Bank, Union has become the largest Virginia-based community bank in the commonwealth. The firm will be responsible for a complete range of the financial institution's communications needs, including brand, digital and broadcast marketing.

"This is a pivotal time in Union's history," says Moses Foster, president and CEO of West Cary Group. "They have an outstanding brand and an exceptional connection with their customers. Our agency is looking forward to contributing to their evolution and cultivating one of the most respected and admired financial services brands in Virginia, if not the country."

With its acquisition of StellarOne on Jan. 1, 2014, Union became the second-largest bank headquartered in Virginia – after Capital One. The full data conversion and integration of StellarOne operations was completed May 12.

"What impressed us about West Cary Group is not just their data-driven mindset and ROI mentality," says Olen Thomas, chief marketing officer of Union. "They understand us as a brand. We're a homegrown bank that's growing bigger so we can stay small. We want our community to be proud of us for our quality service and best-in-class financial solutions. Union is pleased to partner with West Cary Group on our journey."
