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!
Honestly, we can barely believe it ourselves. But over just 11 days, an inexpensive paid targeted media campaign on behalf of Albany Leadership Charter School for Girls increased the number of visitors to the school’s ICAN nursing program landing page from 5 to 1,485, a 29,600% increase!
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.
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?
A social media vibe is the new creative standard. Gone are pretentious narratives and made-up positionings. In their place? Lively, light-hearted, sometimes surreal morsels of media inspired by a global community of phone-empowered creators. The challenge now for both client and agency is to trust and embrace the creative chaos: to stay open to it, swim in it, and let it take you where it knows you should go.
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.
A Feeding New York State and Tops Friendly Markets co-promotion in support of enhanced SNAP benefits, part of FNYS’s lobbying effort ahead of finalization and passage of the 2024 NYS budget.
The College Experience is a 2-year program hosted at The College of Saint Rose. The program provides young adults with disabilities the support, skills, confidence, internships and work experiences they need to gain independence and live engaged, productive and happy lives.
POSTMKTG has helped Living Resources more than double enrollment in The College Experience.
The students at CBA are just like students at every other private or public middle school or high school … except when they aren’t. Like when its time to put on the uniform and get serious about the day’s studies. Or time to march in formation at a Veterans Day parade. Or when the National Anthem is played before a game.
Since partnering with POSTMKTG, CBA has seen a 42% increase in enrollment , raised $10 million across two successful capital campaigns, introduced a new annual giving day which raised an astounding $604,000 in 16 hours in 2023, redesigned its bi-annual magazine, revised and relaunched its website (twice!), added several scholarship programs and reengaged its alumni and supporter network.
The history of women in education since the mid-nineteenth century has been lovingly preserved in a temperature-controlled archive at Academy of the Holy Names in Albany, New York. But folders, photos, racks of uniforms and shelves of yearbooks don’t, by themselves, tell a story.
For the story, AHN turned to POSTMKTG.
