- 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 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.
