National Credit Union Organization recognizes Bay Area Credit Union’s “what matters most” digital campaign
DUBLIN, CA (May 10, 2021) — Patelco Credit Union was named a 2021 Diamond Award winner by the Credit Union National Association Marketing and Business Development Council for its 2020 digital advertising campaign. Entitled “What Matters Most,” the campaign brought real stories about Patelco’s members and its mission of people helping people to the small screen.
Patelco’s “What Matters Most” campaign was a video series that featured the stories of three Patelco members: Jerry, Dylan, and Aki. Each member shared their personal financial journey and goals, as well as how Patelco helped guide them as they navigated life’s ups and downs. See the winning campaign here
