Sundin Marketing's Jewett City Savings Bank Tote Wins Silver Davey

Sundin Marketing landed a Silver Davey Award for a custom illustrated tote bag designed for Jewett City Savings Bank's Dayville office grand reopening.

The Connecticut-based independent created a promotional piece featuring local Dayville landmarks. The tote served as both branded merchandise and community artifact: the kind of dual-purpose work that regional banks rarely commission from agencies.

The Davey Awards recognize creative work from shops with fewer than 200 people. Sundin Marketing competed against agencies producing similar promotional items for financial services clients. The silver placement puts the Jewett City Savings Bank piece in the top tier of submissions in its category.

Jewett City Savings Bank operates as a community bank serving northeastern Connecticut. The Dayville office reopening marked an expansion of their physical branch presence. Sundin's tote design connected the bank's brand to specific geographic markers: a hyperlocal approach that scales down national bank marketing conventions to neighborhood-level specificity.

The win adds to Sundin Marketing's portfolio of work for regional financial institutions. The agency operates out of Connecticut with a focus on clients in the New England banking and healthcare sectors. Their client roster includes multiple community banks and credit unions that compete against larger regional players.

Sundin announced the Davey Award win via LinkedIn on April 3, 2026. The agency did not disclose production quantities or distribution details for the tote bags. The Dayville office reopening date was not specified in the announcement.

The Silver Davey places Sundin's Jewett City Savings Bank work alongside promotional campaigns from independent shops across North America. The award category (promotional items) typically draws hundreds of submissions annually from agencies producing everything from branded apparel to corporate gift sets.
