Should your #CreditUnion be using Influencers? It depends. While influencer marketing is the flashy topic right now, charter sizes often limit how effectively you can use them. Here's a quick thought: Most influencers have an audience that spans many states, which means you will pay to reach audiences you may not be able to serve. Credit Unions that have full state, multi-state, or national charters will benefit from the partnership because more influencer followers could potentially be new members. If your Credit Union operates under a smaller charter, there's no need to fear. You can still be a part of the excitement. User Generated Content, also known as UGC, presents a promising alternative. It's a fantastic way to create videos that mirror the reels, stories, and short explainer videos you encounter daily. The creator is well versed in creating platform-specific content (Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, Etc.) but does not have an audience to leverage. This means you aren't paying a premium for their audience; you're only paying for their expertise to craft content that can better connect you with your audience. #influencers #ugc

A phrase that a mentor used to say to me was "show me your friends and I'll show you your future" As I've moved through my career, relationships, and mentors, this wisdom has always stuck with me and guided my decisions as I grew my network and close circle. I want to collect people who I want to turn out like. People who inspire me, push me, and lead with humility and curiosity. It's one of the reasons I love working with startups and entrepreneurs so much. Entrepreneurs that aspire to make a difference and lead with a learning approach are some of my favorite people to collect. One of those special people in my life is Rachel L.. When I met Rachel over six years ago now, I knew she was someone I wanted to keep in my circle, someone who led with creativity, hope, and vision for a future that was different from the now. The way she chooses to value and honor those in her life is truly inspiring. So when Rachel asked me to join her as she embarked on a mission to connect Native Artists with Native art appreciators through Artisans of Nations, I didn't question it. Now, as we are in the midst of launching a brand new platform curated for sharing the stories of incredible Native artisans, their histories, and their cultures, I am beyond honored to play a small role in marketing these Native artists incredible work. If you're interested in learning more about our mission, vision, and how we are supporting Native art education programs, please consider following us here or on our page! More to come! https://lnkd.in/gc-RuQi5 *Apologies to whoever actually is responsible for that quote 😆 #Nativeartists #supportNativeart #artisansofnations #publication

I'm a bit late in this post, but since the conference materials just became available, I'll deem it still timely. As I was reviewing the recordings, I started to reflect on the themes I noted from Financial Brand Forum 2024. I found this conference to be meaningful as a marketing professional, but also as a consumer. I deepened my understanding of the impacts technology will have on the industries touched by AI, but also the endless human impacts. If you're looking to learn more about what's happening within marketing for financial services, I recommend attending FBF next year. Here are three key takeaways that emerged from the conference: The Rise of AI and Automation in Financial Services: The conference highlighted how AI and automation are transforming financial services. These technologies improve customer service with smart chatbots and streamline operations with robotic process automation (RPA). Speakers emphasized that AI analytics create personalized customer experiences and better decision-making, enhancing both efficiency and satisfaction. Embracing Digital-First Strategies: With the rapid acceleration of digital adoption, a recurring theme was the necessity for financial institutions to adopt a digital-first approach. This means using digital banking platforms and integrating digital tools at all customer touchpoints. Emphasis was placed on mobile-first solutions, smooth digital onboarding, and data analytics to predict customer needs and offer proactive services. Financial brands that focus on digital innovation will remain competitive in a tech-savvy market. Building for the future with the human touch: In the rapidly evolving landscape of financial services, combining cutting-edge technology with a human touch is essential for effective marketing strategies. As we build for the future, financial institutions must focus on integrating advanced digital tools while maintaining the personal connections that foster trust and loyalty among customers. This means personalized experience that connect the online tractions to the live interactions of customers to create frictionless touchpoints. Also, my first time in Vegas was memorable.

My favorite aspect of market research for nonprofits are personal one-on-one interviews. We have found these are the most effective way to gather the insights you are looking for as you craft the messaging and storytelling for your nonprofit. We honor each interviewee’s journey and perspective. This is where you can discover your heart, your hero, and how you impact someone’s life or change the world! #nonprofit marketing, #nonprofit research, #nonprofit storytelling
