TowneBank has retained its status as the largest bank in Hampton Roads for a second year.

The bank held 22 percent of the region’s market share with $5.48 billion in deposits. Wells Fargo, with $4.73 billion in deposits, is second with a 19 percent share.

When we met a three-legged dog named Sam who competes in long-jump competitions, we knew we had a great story on our hands.

We pitched the media about Sam as a way to promote the upcoming Care-A-Lot Pet Supply Extravaganza — which featured the popular DockDogs jumping competition — and the media responded in a big way.

We landed TWO front-page newspaper stories, one in The Virginian-Pilot and the other in The Daily Press.

Check out the coverage below!

The Daily Press (covers Hampton, Newport News and Williamsburg)

The Virginian-Pilot (covers Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk and Portsmouth)
