Desmond Credit Union

Project overview

Desmond Credit Union is based in Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. Established in 1972, it has over 10,000 members who come together to save and borrow money at low rates. Like all credit unions, it is 100% owned by its members and a key part of the local community.

They contacted us a number of years ago, having seen the work we had done for other credit unions around the country. With the worst of the recession behind them, and a renewed focus on lending, they needed a new website and marketing strategy for the next phase of their growth.

We love working with credit unions, and this project was no exception. The website is proving very effective in driving new loan applications. We continue to work with them on a weekly basis, fulfilling all their marketing needs, especially direct mail.

With the brand story in place, we drew up a 12 month marketing plan in which we advised them how best to spend their available budget across all media, including direct mail, local press and point of sale. Once the plan and budget were agreed, we set about re-designing the website and all their other marketing collateral so that everything was consistent.
