Building Culture Through Brand Change with Vallant Bank

In this episode of the Believe in Banking podcast, Gina Bleedorn and Juliet D’Ambrosio welcome Jackson McConnell, Executive Chairman of Vallant Bank, and Spence Mullis, President of Vallant Bank, to share the behind the scenes story of the merger of two successful Georgia-based banks and the creation of the state’s largest community bank. When Pinnacle Bank and Morris Bank made the decision to join forces, each were already successful community banks in their own right. In this discussion, Jackson and Spence explore why they chose partnership as a path to greater growth and why building an entirely new brand was essential to bringing their organizations together. They offer an inside look at the creation of Vallant Bank, from engaging employees and building a shared culture to launching a new identity and transforming branches across diverse markets. It’s a candid conversation about navigating change, honoring legacy, and creating a stronger community bank built for today and tomorrow.
