The Brand Slam Award was presented to MountainOne and five other financial institutions on October 7, 2024, at the ABA Bank Marketing Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

"Our team is incredibly proud to receive this Brand Slam Award from the ABA," said Jill Amato, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Community Banking Officer at MountainOne. "The video was a fun and engaging way to introduce our "Mo's Storybook" initiative to our Mountaineers, community partners, and customers." Amato noted that the video debuted at MountainOne's 175th Annual Meeting earlier this year, when the initiative was first unveiled. "When we first introduced Mo as part of our brand campaign in 2019, we knew we had something special. It's been an exciting journey bringing Mo to life, and he's become a beloved and relatable figure for both our customers and our Mountaineers."
