Chase Celebrates Entrepreneurs with New Campaign

Mission Main Street highlights nine growing American businesses

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chase, one of the nation's leading banks for American business, today launched Mission Main Street, a multi-media advertising and lending campaign that features success stories from a business owner's perspective. Nominated by bankers for their unique and compelling stories, nine of more than four million businesses Chase serves are part of the campaign. Focused on local markets, the advertising includes digital media, radio, business and trade print publications to deliver the entrepreneurs' stories directly to other businesses.


"These entrepreneurs represent the spirit of American business, and we're thrilled to have them part of Mission Main Street to raise their profiles and inspire others," said Donna Vieira, head of marketing and product for Chase Business Banking, which started the Mission Main Street program in 2012. "The stories they share help reinforce the power of a strong partnership between Chase bankers and their clients."

This year's Mission Main Street (#MissionMainSt) features these growing businesses that used financing from Chase Business Banking, Commercial Banking and Ink from Chase:
