    New partnership with BUNTIN and continued work with C2 Strategic Communications to take marketing and communications efforts to the next level

    Republic Bank & Trust Company ("Republic" or the "Bank") is proud to announce its new full-service marketing partner, BUNTIN. The advertising agency will lead all strategy, media and creative efforts, while strategic communications and public relations efforts will remain with longtime partner, C2 Strategic Communications.

    "We're excited to welcome BUNTIN to the Republic Bank family as well as to continue our strong partnership with C2 Strategic," said Courtney Eder, Republic Bank Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer. "In collaboration with these creative, industry-leading minds, we'll work together to elevate Republic's brand identity and amplify the Bank's community engagement in Louisville and across all of the markets we serve, including Nashville, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, Lexington and Tampa."

"Their team is among the most energetic and forward-thinking in the industry, and together, we're committed to helping their customers thrive across a rapidly expanding market footprint. It's an honor to add Republic Bank to our long legacy of Louisville-based partnerships."

"Working in tandem with BUNTIN, we are confident that we can further drive home Republic Bank's mission to enable its clients, company, associates and the communities it serves to thrive."
