Being A Credit Union Marketer

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.
