Young & Free Comes to Texas!
Mark was contacted by Tim McAlpine from Currency Marketing on Sunday to announce that the very popular Young & Free Alberta campaign is coming to Texas! That’s right, Young Free Texas is here! To get some better insight into the new campaign, Mark got on the phone with Trey Reeme at TDECU, the credit union where Young Free Texas was launched, and got a great interview to share with you! We have a nice condensed version, and the whole enchilada below! To check out the condensed version, watch the episode at the top of the blog.

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:
The Future of Financial Branding Jeffry Pilcher guest blogged for Open Source CU recently and discussed in a two-part series The Future of Financial Branding. He gives six predictions about what trends we’ll see, which institutions will thrive, and what problems others will run into. He makes a call for credit unions to really stand out and be different, try something new to make your brand unique. Besides, who isn’t jumping on the “green” wagon these days? Your customers will expect more.
I Can Has Account?
Speaking of Jeffry Pilcher, he posted on his blog about Arizona State Credit Union and their new campaign targeting college students through the use of LOL Cats. Using the phrase, “I Can Has Cheezburger,” after the extremely popular website, their campaign offers an actual free cheeseburger when college students open new checking accounts. Some think this is a great effort on ASCU’s part to reach out to Gen Y through their obsession with LOL Cats. What are your thoughts on ASCU’s new campaign, or as I like to call it, LOLpaign?
And on this note, I made a mistake when discussing this with Mark earlier. The exclamation point was in the Twitter that Jeffry Pilcher posted, not actually in the promotional sign created by ASCU. I had it backwards, but I still noticed!
