Our Clients

"When 1st State Bank was contemplating getting involved with social media, we invited Eric from WSI to present to our board of directors to lay out a strategic vision for how we could participate as a bank. We subsequently brought him in to develop a plan, train our staff and provide us with best practice advice. Eric remains an extremely valuable resource in our online efforts. Most recently he assisted in the development of our second phase of social strategies for our mortgage lending team. When I have a question and are in need of advice on what digital path to pursue, Eric and the WSI team is at the top of my list!"

Margo Winieckie - Senior Vice President, 1st State Bank

"When the bank needed to update our website and take the next step in our evolution, we selected WSI to be our strategic partner. Together with his talented team of digital professionals, Eric not only led us through the process of developing a social strategy for our bank, but helped with the complete overhaul and relaunch of our new website. During that process, we migrated to the .BANK domain for added customer confidence, and WSI was there with us the entire way. We remain actively engaged with the WSI team, running numerous online campaigns that have produced tangible results from both a deposit and loan perspective and the fact that Eric was a banker for so many years just makes it easy to work with them - because they just “get it” and what we need to accomplish as a bank."

Craig Cumberworth - President, Andover Bank

"I continue to work with WSI because they understand the challenges community banks face. Whether I am looking for high- level strategic insight or someone that understands the nuts and bolts of getting something accomplished from a digital perspective, I know I can trust WSI. What I appreciate most is that I work directly with Eric Cook. I have worked with other agencies where you end up working with a junior person without much experience. That is not the case with WSI. Eric Is very accessible, hands-on, and responsive. I know the advice and solutions he provides are based on the experience he has with other banks - and as a former banker himself.  Whether you know exactly what you want or need or not, Eric and WSI can help you guide you. You can trust that they have your best interests in mind and this allows me to focus on other things that happen on a day-to-day basis."

Chad Montgomery, Marketing Director - First Bank of Berne

"Working with WSI doesn't even feel like work. It's a comfortable, professional partnership that has yielded great things for our bank. The expertise, competency and reliability of everyone at WSI is amazing! They are always willing to help, and they genuinely want the very best for their clients. We believe they are truly a partner which is a part of our success. I first met Eric over 10 years ago by attending several seminars he presented about social media and banking. When we launched our first social media platform, he was right there to help and lend advice as a friend and colleague. Years later when our bank went through a rebranding and our website needed a complete overhaul, we knew Eric and WSI were the right ones for the job. They were right there to help, and have been with us ever since."
