NextStep cooks up a TikTok-driven branding campaign

NextStep HELOC AdSmall 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.

AHN 2024 Gala

AHN Library UpgradeThis year, to fund an upgrade to its library, AHN hoped to raise $60,000 during its 2024 Gala’s “Paddle Raise.” In just 15 minutes, it raised well over $70,000.

CBA opens ‘The Dome!’

CBA Dome InteriorTo a huge and enthusiastic crowd dwarfed by an even “huge-er” space, long-term client Christian Brothers Academy opened the doors to The Dome, a stunning multi-use all-weather facility now rising impressively on the school’s Albany campus.

POSTMKTG is proud of the important role we played in helping the school raise more than $4 million over a few short years to fund The Dome’s construction (and the school’s new turf field). And we are equally proud of the environmental graphics that greet visitors and prepare them for the impressive space they are about to enter.

POSTMKTG AT 11

The marketing world was changing fast in 2012, the year POSTMKTG was founded.

New opportunities were opening for startups, specialized businesses and brands with big social networks but limited advertising budgets. A lot of work was shifting in-house. Social connections seemed a great untapped asset.

No one knew for sure where it was going. But being small, skilled and plugged in all seemed like advantages. Though it felt random and chaotic in real time, a year into our second decade, the story of our success reads as a steady march. Almost like, all along, we knew what we were doing.
