InTouch Credit Union
How a multi-state media strategy helped a credit union achieve a $1 million fundraising goal while unifying members across Texas, Nevada, and Michigan around fighting hunger.
The Challenge
InTouch Credit Union operates across three states (Texas, Nevada, and Michigan) with a unique multi-state footprint. After member research revealed that community engagement and giving back were top priorities, ITCU launched an ambitious initiative to unify all markets in raising $1 million to fight hunger through donated member transaction fees. The challenge was coordinating communications across three diverse geographic markets while building participation.

- Press release distribution and media pitching across all three states
- Partnerships with hunger relief organizations for joint announcements
- Member success stories and testimonial features
- Progress updates and milestone announcements
- Executive thought leadership on corporate social responsibility
- Localized story angles for each market’s media landscape
