When It Comes to Their Banking, Navigant Credit Union is Encouraging People to “Own it”. Literally

A new campaign for Navigant Credit Union from Nail Communications celebrates Navigant’s unique ownership structure—namely, that its customers aren’t just members but owners. This empowering truth is behind the new “Own it” campaign.

It features a young couple as they take on a do-it-yourself renovation of their new home.  They have their ups and downs but pull it off thanks in part to the confidence that comes with knowing there’s a financial institution like Navigant that has their back.

“We want our customers/owners to have financial freedom for their unique endeavors. This is why our members’ financial well-being is always at the forefront for us,” said Molly Pastore, VP of Marketing.

“We’re inviting everyone to truly ‘Own It’” adds Brian Gross, Nail Creative Partner, “Own your financial journey, own your successes, and it all starts with owning your credit union.”

The “Own it” campaign launched March 11, and includes TV, OOH, print, and digital/social.
