Farmers Bank engages customers with mannequin birth

BOARDMAN — The Farmers National Bank billboard mannequins welcomed twins Tuesday.

The bank is asking the community to go to farmersbankgroup.com to select winning names for the children.

Ben and Emma, the new parents, are the mannequins above the three-dimensional billboard near Southern Park Mall.

Drivers going on west on U.S. Route 224 have watched the two meet, get married, buy a home, car and now have children.

“Our customers and neighbors have been involved with Ben and Emma’s story from the beginning,” explains Marla Pieton, Farmers’ AVP, Marketing Manager. “The community has enthusiastically supported this campaign. The mannequins are very popular, and Farmers is pleased to have found a fun and interesting way to engage with our customers.“
