A Credit Union Website Designed for Member Growth
When Sun FCU partnered with us on a full website redesign, the goal wasn’t just to refresh their digital presence; it was to create a scalable platform that could evolve with members’ ever-changing needs.
The result was a modern, user-first experience that seamlessly blends functionality with storytelling. The site also introduced powerful backend tools—from a centralized rate management system to an integrated campaign landing page builder.
The results speak for themselves.
- 343% increase in landing page views following launch
- 852% increase in engagement with financial education content
- 17% growth in new members compared to the year prior
A Persona-Based Auto Loan Campaign
Built around an offer of 0.25% off approved auto loan rates, the “Ride on the Bright Side” campaign was strategically designed to reach members at every stage of the buying journey.
By leveraging persona-based messaging, targeted media placements, and cohesive creative across channels, the campaign delivered both awareness and conversion.
The campaign’s success was clear.
- 4.8+ million impressions and 113,000+ view-through conversions
- 39% increase in funded auto loans
- 32% increase in total loan balances
- 97% ROI—nearly $2 returned for every $1 spent
