CU Solutions Group partners with CUNA and GSTV for International Credit Union Day campaign
LIVONIA, MI (October 1, 2019) — CU Solutions Group and Credit Union National Association (CUNA) today announced they are joining forces to celebrate International Credit Union Day with a nationwide advertising initiative of the Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union® awareness campaign on GSTV, a national video network delivering targeted audiences at scale across tens of thousands of fuel retailers.
Beginning October 11 and ending October 17, a fifteen-second Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union® ad will air at more than 20,000 fuel retailers and reach more than 44 million viewers.
Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union® is part of the credit union-led awareness initiative that is working to increase consumer consideration of credit unions. The campaign first launched in January and is now live in Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia.
“CU Solutions Group is excited to have GSTV’s support airing CUNA’s awareness campaign on their network,” said Dave Adams, president and CEO of CU Solutions Group. “In addition to promoting credit unions to the public, we hope this important campaign will nudge credit union marketers to consider adding GSTV’s unique advertising medium to their marketing plans as credit unions promote their brands locally.”
“We’re thrilled that CUSG and CUNA have selected GSTV as their national media partner for the International Credit Union Day campaign,” said Sean McCaffrey, president & CEO of GSTV. “Utilizing our network is an impactful way to reach consumers at a national scale while they’re spending money and thinking about their financial health, which is ideal for the Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union campaign message.”
Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October. It is a day of recognition and reflection, both on the history of the credit union movement and the millions of people credit unions serve and help worldwide. The theme for the 2019 celebration is “Local service. Global reach.”
“This partnership between CUSG and GSTV provides a tremendous opportunity to celebrate credit unions,” said Chris Lorence, CUNA chief credit union awareness officer. “It will elevate awareness of our ongoing targeted, digital strategy in place with our league partners and credit unions across the country.”
