The Illinois Credit Union System (ICUS), in collaboration with over 850 organizations, took social media by storm for the 2nd annual #ILoveMyCreditUnion social media blitz on July 29. The goal of the grassroots campaign was to encourage authentic high-energy conversation across social media platforms to build credit union awareness.
The campaign saw participation from all 50 states and 11 countries around the world.
With a global reach of more than 6 million people and a hearty 55,000 active engagements, the real success of this year’s campaign shifted to the creative content generated by over 7,000 people. ICUS produced a new, user-friendly website for the campaign providing tools for organizations to download and deploy.
