The campaign, produced by the company’s marketing agency, completed and won against 13,000 entries from around the globe.
Ambridge, Pa. - June 19, 2024 - New Alliance Federal Credit Union, the financial institution of choice proudly serving Beaver and Allegheny counties, announced that the organization’s marketing agency, Strategic Arc, won a bronze Telly Award for a marketing campaign produced on the credit union’s behalf. The win was in the Branded Content - Campaign - Corporate Image Category in the record-breaking 45th Annual Telly Awards. No gold winners were selected in the category. The campaign stood side-by-side with other bronze winners, including Al Jazeera Media Network, Bully Pulpit International for Walmart, J.P. Morgan, MTV Entertainment Studios, and TelevisaUnivision. The Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens and are judged by leaders from video platforms, television, streaming networks, and production companies.
“We feel so privileged that our campaign was chosen for such a prestigious award. It’s a win for our credit union and the greater Pittsburgh community. Strategic Arc has brought a standard of excellence that has elevated our institution, taking us to a new level of brand recognition. We truly appreciate what they bring to the table,” said Kelly Friedl, CEO of New Alliance Federal Credit Union. “This surprise win on the national stage validates that we are moving in the right direction and encourages us to want to do more.”
New Alliance FCU, a credit union with $100 million in assets and several branches throughout a two-county area in the Pittsburgh region, supports its community through innovative financial solutions, educational initiatives, and impactful partnerships. The winning advertising initiative was a general awareness campaign titled “We’re Not New to Banking,” created to reach the community to build awareness, highlighting the benefits of joining their not-for-profit financial institution vs. for-profit banks.
