The team at SafeAmerica Credit Union shares the wins with their agency Dog & Pony Studio. Together, they came up with a strategy that was sympathetic to the financial uncertainty brought forth by the pandemic, creating a consistent and reassuring tone in all member communication. "2021 brought its many challenges, including our marketing efforts that required us to get really creative and think outside of the box. With the help of our agency, together we created multiple effective, targeted marketing campaigns that spoke to our members," says SafeAmerica Credit Union Marketing Manager, Lisa Eddy. "Getting the results we wanted, as well as the recognition from our peer marketers, is very rewarding to us," she added.
