Life is Sweet with Team Ion

Have you seen the latest Ion Bank commercial, starring yours truly ? What an honor to be chosen as one of their business partners to be featured in their advertising campaign. The purpose is to promote the bank as an amazing business partner. They truly are, and I couldn’t be happier to represent.

The team at Ion, through Bonfire Productions really wanted to tell the Sweet Maria’s story. After a virtual meeting and a site visit, we prepared for the shoot. It was a rigorous 10 hour shoot. The team from Bonfire was fantastic, ultimate professionals and passionate about their work. And passionate about sprinkles! Seeing the creatives work and seeing their Chef’s Table vision for the bakery almost had me yearning for my previous life in advertising. Almost. The entire team was great and made it easy for me to chat on and on about my passion. Here’s the link to our full story.

I truly believe Sweet Maria’s would not have survived the pandemic without our partnership with Ion bank. I will never stop thanking the fabulous Sorrina. She worked tirelessly on weekends and holidays to make all our PPP dreams come true. I could never thank her and her team enough. The story and it’s reality are still a little fresh and I’m not sure if the wounds of the pandemic and it’s impact will ever heal. What I do know is that whatever lies ahead, I have an amazing team in-house, the most supportive community, my sister the greatest CPA, and the best teams within the bank to make any future challenges much easier. Cheers to team Ion, xo Maria
