The merger gives credit unions greater access to unique, customized creative solutions. The merger also provides financial institutions with a single resource for all of their planning, branding and marketing needs. The merged companies will continue doing business as On The Mark Strategies.
“We take a holistic approach with our clients, which is why this merger makes so much sense,” said Mark Arnold, president and founder of On The Mark Strategies. “Everything in credit unions ties together.

the expertise to help financial institutions think outside the box. Having worked in a credit union marketing department for nearly a decade, the team also understands the pressures and unique demands often placed on credit union employees.
“This merger is advantageous for everyone involved,” said Jim Foley, the new brand director for On The Mark Strategies. “Our clients get a more cohesive and comprehensive experience which addresses all of their planning, branding and marketing needs.”
