Being A Credit Union Marketer

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, March 22, 2021 • Duration 51:17

Today we have guests! Joining us on the show today is Matt Stratton, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Tinker Federal Credit Union, and Chris Weigl, Marketing Manager at Community Federal Credit Union. We’re getting their perspectives on marketing challenges, opportunities, and strategies within the credit union industry.

We’re asking Matt and Chris how they advocate for growing the role and importance of marketing and branding in their credit unions. We discuss how marketing drives results (even when you can’t always measure them) and how to balance trying new things to grow the credit union while still preserving their reputation and remaining loyal to current members.

Media Planning

Season 1 · Episode 5

Monday, March 22, 2021 • Duration 47:09

We want to talk about media. You don’t have to be on every media platform out there to get your message in front of your audience.

You do, however, need a media plan – so you can be ready and flexible in times of change. Plus, we don’t want you to feel like you’re just winging it or making it up from scratch, every time you have a new campaign. And we don’t want you to dilute your message (or your budget) on any deal or bright new shiny media “opportunity” that comes your way!

So we’re going to share our media philosophies and advice to help you shape up your media plan and feel more confident about what you’re spending and putting out there.

We’re talking about ways to get your team communicating and collaborating better – especially when it comes to planning, and pulling off big projects, promotions, and campaigns.

Whether that’s with your marketing team, cross-departmental teams in your credit union, or even with your agency team – we want to give you some tips for:

getting everyone on the same page
getting more voices heard around the table
getting more of the outcomes you want –

and, maybe even having more fun with the people you work with, while you’re at it.

Video

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, March 22, 2021 • Duration 35:46

We love video, and more and more credit unions are using the power of video to connect with people. So, why aren’t you doing it more?

We’re going to give you some ideas to try, easy, simple, no-pressure ways to baby step into video. Or if you’re already doing video, find out ways you can make it even better.

In this episode Tara and Holly of Braid Creative encourage credit unions to reorient how they think about video – not only for brand videos or commercials, but layered into other tactics like social media, how-to videos, celebrations, and events.

Promotions

Monday, March 22, 2021 • Duration 38:30

Your marketing promotions around specific products, offerings, and even seasons of the year are a great time to get more direct about what you’re selling, and even have more fun with what you’re putting out there.

When is the right time to push those promotions? How can you make them stand out? And how out there, is too out there – when you’re stepping out a little from the consistency of your brand?
