Marketing That Makes Consumers Smart

™

THREE CHOICES

Famous… for something that matters.

Invisible… business and life as usual.

Infamous… toxic commitment to self-interest.

If you were a consumer in your community, how would you rate your financial institution?

1. Famous for something that matters

2. Invisible - One of many generic choices

3. Infamous - Tolerated but not trusted

Fastest growing financial institutions spend 2x on marketing, branding, sales culture, website, online banking…than stagnant credit unions.
