KeyPoint Credit Union

The Challenge:

There was something special about KeyPoint Credit Union, but they just weren’t able to put it into words. Our team was asked to help the Silicon Valley financial institution identify that special something and create a messaging platform that trumpets this unique positioning and surrounds prospective members with it. Internal and external research helped extract the essence of the organization and allowed us to draw a bright yellow highlighter circle around what was indeed special about KeyPoint – they are born from Silicon Valley innovation while committed to community care.

Through our Challenger Brand Marketing® Discovery process, we learned that success would come when prospective members recognized the KeyPoint brand as Silicon Valley’s most innovative and trustworthy team of community banking leaders and when members embraced the comfort and confidence associated with partnering with the industry’s most caring financial institution.

Commit’s Strategy:

Once the positioning was in place, we had to update all member and prospect facing materials to reflect the mantra, including designing a new website, as well as implement a Go-To-Market plan that surrounded and connected with the community. Our team helped KeyPoint with their SEO management, social media strategy and execution, and all digital activity. KeyPoint Marketing then engaged our team in all aspects of their day-to-day activity ensuring the community sees KeyPoint as the not-for-profit credit union born from Silicon Valley innovation and bred to caringly serve the community.

Measurable Results:

Our team further identified that value would be established the more confident prospects were that the KeyPoint name would be synonymous with trust, innovation and the confidence associated with KeyPoint’s deep understanding of the financial needs of the tech community. From this understanding, we were able to extract KeyPoint’s core essence as, “The customer care of a neighborhood bank meets Silicon Valley innovation.” This led to the new tagline and overall positioning, Next Generation Neighborhood Banking.
