Bootcamp Details

Every single day your credit union must engage consumers with your brand. Without a well articulated brand - the less brand engagement you have and the less loyalty you have. So how do you make this a reality and not just a theory?

You'll begin the day in our interactive Brand-Builder Workshop, breaking into teams throughout the day, culminating in a short assignment you'll bring back to class the next morning to share before review and testing.

"Can I join? "Why should I join?"

Increasing difficulty to differentiate from competitors is driving the need for repositioning ourselves with a unique, fresh, impactful new brand and how it integrates into the credit unions strategy to increase growth and profitability. Here you'll discuss in teams how to articulate these six phases of your brand:

• Brand Core/Position
• Personality definition
• Staff Actions
• Key Messages
• Products and Services – how to "bundle" for differentiation
• Touchpoints – defining, assessing and making sure there is a clear, concise, consistent identity in tone, message and look-and-feel.

Three key areas of Member Engagement

• Your culture
• Your online and social media
• Your community

Engagement starts with your credit union's culture: from your value proposition to your employees living your brand. Building a successful member engagement strategy also involves using online and social media channels to improve member interaction. That interaction is further demonstrated through your community involvement efforts and further cements the engagement bond with members and potential members.

Through this session you will:

• Learn a formula for effective member engagement
• Determine how to develop your credit union's value proposition
• Explore all areas of social media
• Learn the two "S"s of effective social media: strategy and staff
• Learn how to use social media to engage your members
• Examine a formula for successful community marketing
• Learn community marketing and tactics
• See case studies on credit unions successfully engaging members through new channels

While engagement is certainly a buzzword today, the reality is it's also an effective way to increase brand loyalty.

By the end of your CUNA Marketing School Brand Builder and Member Engagement Workshop, you'll have built a strong, differentiated, articulated brand – with a fully integrated member engagement strategy and will refresh the knowledge of the concepts you learned while attending Marketing Management School and be ready to test for your CUCME designation.
