Challenger Brand Marketing® – The Financial Brand Edition

Credit unions and community banks must take on the Challenger Brand mentality and focus their limited resources to articulate who they are.


Credit unions and community banks stand out as pillars of member-centric banking within the financial services industry.

  • out-sell
  • out-merchandise
  • out-staff
  • out-resource all others in the category

Credit unions and community banks must adopt a new-tactical marketing mindset and strategy to succeed; this is the Challenger Brand approach.
