American Eagle Financial Credit Union
Strategically integrating a value-focused campaign to revitalize a brand's digital presence and member engagement.
Overview
Partnering with American Eagle Financial Credit Union (AEFCU), we embarked on an ambitious journey to revolutionize its digital presence and member engagement. Through a thorough discovery process that focused on emerging and aspirational market persona groups, we redefined the AEFCU brand archetype and crafted a new tagline to anchor our campaign.
Our Approach
This brand project required a comprehensive approach, tackling a wide range of deliverables across all owned, earned, and paid channels. From in-branch signage and Video Teller Machine (VTM) screens to digital platforms, social media assets, member print collateral, and an expansive new paid marketing campaign, our efforts were strategic and integrated. Our mission was to bring to life AEFCU's vision of "Freedom to Soar," where financial freedom empowers every member to pursue what they love. Our collaboration launched a transformative campaign, encapsulated in our brand anthem video, "Fly," which celebrates members' journeys towards financial freedom.

"Fly" embodies the courage and ambition of AEFCU's members, who, much like pioneers, are on a quest for financial freedom. Powered by our refreshed brand strategy and passion for helping our community soar to new heights, the cinematic brand anthem features the track "Fly" by Sugar Ray—a nod to frontman Mark McGrath's Hartford roots. It highlights community-centric stories of members catapulted by AEFCU’s products and services to confidently navigate their financial journeys and achieve their super "Fly" moments.
Telling members' stories meant revitalizing the AEFCU Brand from the ground up.
