The banking world can be pretty intimidating, especially to young people. But seeing as living without a bank account is pretty difficult, Texas Dow Employees Credit Union & Alberta Common Wealth Credit Union wanted to help young people learn how to open and manage accounts. Banks aren't something young people get excited over very often, and so we embarked upon a plan to utilize one of this generation's favorite pastimes: Guitar Hero. After all, what goes better with savings accounts than AC/DC?
To better engage our target demographic, we took the Young & Free program on an international tour, to the streets of Houstin, Texas and Alberta, Canada. We decked out our glass-walled 3D mobile showrooms with tons of flat screen TVs and Guitar Hero gaming systems. College-aged brand ambassadors were able to connect with and educate their peers about managing their money through a credit union. Consumers were even able to sign up for a free checking account on-site!
With a nimble set up time of 20 minutes and a 6-week campaign, the Young & Free campaign was able to produce excellent results for Commonwealth Credit Union.
