At LEVEL5, “Think Strategically, Build Creatively” is not just a tagline, it’s the culture. John Hyche guides the “think strategically” portion of LEVEL5’s services. In this role, John works directly with community-based financial institutions to understand their challenges and goals. He then guides his team in applying various research and analytical tools – including “feet on the street” research – to define the best strategies to support the client’s objectives. These strategies are then implemented as part of LEVEL5’s integrated services offering – the “build creatively” activities (Real Estate, Design, Construction and Branding). For each bank and credit union, the goal is to develop sound strategies and implement those strategies with precision and speed to provide solid results and success.
