Cairril.com’s Design for Monroe Bank Website Wins Prestigious Maxi Award
Monroe Bank recently received a prestigious Maxi Award from the Indiana Bankers Association (IBA) for its website designed by Cairril.com Design & Marketing.

For 27 years, the IBA has recognized marketing and advertising excellence through the Maxi Awards. The awards are coordinated by the IBA in cooperation with the Indiana Chapter of the American Bankers Association Marketing Network. It is considered a high honor to receive a Maxi due to the intense nature of the competition, which covers marketing and advertising materials from websites to ads to annual reports.

“We’re delighted that our design helped Monroe Bank achieve this distinguished industry recognition,” said Cairril Mills, principal of Cairril.com. “They’ve taken a strong position with their brand, differentiating themselves from other banks, and are reaping the rewards.”
