Paducah Bank taps into the future by asking a group of bright young students for their view on banking and finance in the 21st century.
Our new network of teens will work alongside our financial professionals at the bank on real-life project strategies for marketing the bank’s products and ideas to young people. They get the opportunity to literally be a part of our bank marketing team. They will post preapproved graphics to their social channels, participate in social videos, and community projects. They will work under the direction of Susan Guess, senior vice president of marketing.
We will partner them with teens from our Alumni Board to serve as mentors and they will hear from speakers about the responsibility of social media, mindfulness, along with financial literacy. They will also be a part of enhancing the Kindness Mural at MAKE.
We know they are building a resume for college and looking for opportunities to be a part of something outside of classrooms and clubs. The Paducah Bank Teen Ambassadors will give them a chance to work in a banking environment and learn from financial and marketing professionals about careers that might interest you after college and into their “tomorrow.”
"It's a win-win for all us," says Mardie Herndon, President of Paducah Bank. "The Teen Ambassadors are receiving real world experience, and the bank is receiving feedback as to what this generation is interested in doing as far as their financial capability."
