Money doesn’t need to be complicated
To introduce its new, much easier online banking service, NextStep launched a simple targeted media campaign … and doubled its already substantial website traffic.
NextStep FCU: For all the adventures ahead
POSTMKTG proudly presents NextStep, our from-the-ground-up rebranding of School Services Federal Credit Union. Everything, from research and strategy, to name, logo, and tagline, to website and app, signage, and all the collateral bits that make up a financial institution, all done in 10-months.
NextStep provides an excellent demonstration of the competitive advantages smaller, swifter businesses now have relative to their bigger and always more bureaucratic competitors.
NEXTSTEP summer 2025
NextStep Federal Credit Union kicked off its Summer 2025 promotional schedule in style with Maggie’s Clan at Ryan’s Wake in Troy, New York, followed just 3 days later with sponsorship of Kid’s in Free Night at Valley Cats, followed the very next day with tabling at Troy’s River Fest.
All events discovered, negotiated, contracted, and managed by POSTMKTG. Tents and tchotchkes abounded!
NEXTSTEP: From public domain to adorable promotion
How did the late comic Buster Keaton’s 1928 comedy, Steamboat Bill, Jr., overcome obstacles thrown by everyone from Walt Disney to Sonny Bono to serve as the creative foundation for a new promotion for high-rate share certificates offered by POSTMKTG’s favorite credit union? It’s a funny story.
NextStep: Leaning in and ‘tiking’ up!
Another big win for our favorite small credit union. NextStep FCU, loving its scrappy image, is leaning into low-fi fun media. A new TikTok campaign features a fun-loving couple contemplating their new empty nest opportunities. Perhaps a new car? Maybe something sexier?
NextStep cooks up a TikTok-driven branding campaign
Small brands can now take advantage of their smallness and run circles, creatively, around their plodding competitors. While large brands fret and fear “crazy media” like TikTok, NextStep Federal Credit Union, with the counsel of POSTMKTG, has jumped right in with a branding and promotions campaign that not only leads with TikTok as its primary media, but is creatively inspired by TikTok.
School Systems FCU rebranding: cleared for takeoff!
After 5 months work, and with gifts lined up and ready to walk out the door, School Systems Federal Credit Union will unveil its new brand at tonight’s annual member meeting in Troy, New York. We could not be more excited.
And this is only the first step. Just wait till you see what’s coming next!
