Case Study: Tinker Federal CU
We Get It Campaign

Background:

Tinker Federal Credit Union (TFCU) is the largest credit union in Oklahoma with more than $1.3 billion in assets and 175,000 members. Dozens of competitors, including banks to other credit unions are jockeying for market share within the OKC metro area (a population of approx. 1 million). Some of these banks are nine to ten times larget than TFCU, with much larger marketing budgets.

Campaign Goals:

  • Develop a brand image campaign positioning TFCU as professional, capable and caring
  • Appeal to a wide audience with emphasis on adults 25-49 (those more likely to purchase a car or home and need a loan)
  • Develop an image that TFCU employees can embrace and instills pride among the TFCU team

TV

Positioning:

Third Degree and TFCU developed a message strategy built on the following key points:
  • TFCU understands you work hard for every dollar
  • TFCU is here to help you find financial solutions
  • TFCU is not-for-profit; care what's best for you
  • TFCU is professional, capable and sincere

Creative Approach:

Third Degree developed a campaign based on the idea that TFCU truly understands what motivates its members. The concept embraced the everyday aspect of people's lives- what, and who, they cared about when they weren't working hard for their money. The campaign positioned TFCU as making a difference for its members by knowing the value of their time, the true value of their money, and bein a financial partner that could help along the way.
Taglines: we get it... make it count.
Outdoor

Results:

The campaign included TV, radio, print, outdoor and internal branch signage. In a year when the NCUA reported a drop in most credit union membership, TFCU remained stable- and even exceeded their marketing goals for checking and auto loans. This campaign also won the 2005 CUNA Diamond Award for Best in Competition.
