Where do you begin when you're charged with telling the brand story of a $1.9 billion credit union with over 160,000 members, that also stretches across the state of Michigan, from lake to lake?It began with building the best damn Brand Development + Engagement team this planet has ever known. With strategic purpose like no other, I established a team to tackle the creative, content, digital and operational functions of Lake Trust Credit Union's advertising, marketing, interactive and internal communication efforts.The journey continued with a smattering of these responsibilities: • Developing and executing a Brand Strategy. • Challenging traditional financial industry culture, processes and philosophies. • Leading and fostering growth among an array of skill sets. • Crafting and facilitating strategic business plan objectives and initiatives. • Working collaboratively with Credit Union business units to further strategic objectives. • Doing my best to avoid ridiculous corporate buzzwords and financial industry jargon. • Maintaining a standard of creativity and thought that is on par with outside industries.
