We help Credit Unions, CUSOs, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs Collaborate for Success
We're passionate about helping credit union industry vendors and Credit Union Service Organizations reach their full potential. In many cases, Credit Unions, Credit Union Service Organizations, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs are like ships passing in the night, missing opportunities to collaborate for mutual growth and success.
​
CUinfluentialsm is the source for identifying and presenting key solutions to issues facing the credit union industry.
​
We research and identify CUSOs and qualified industry vendors that can serve the needs of credit unions and their members, then introduce them industry-wide to Credit Unions, select Credit Union Service Organizations, key industry leaders, and trade association resources such as the National Association of Credit Union Service Organizations.
We create and publish comprehensive, thoroughly researched white papers, articles, and targeted press releases to introduce individual CUSOs and/or vendors to key credit union decision makers. We then promote the published papers through creative social media posts and direct mail distribution in order to boost readership and lead generation directly to our clients.
​
We get results - we're INFLUENTIAL!
