MODERNIZING FOR
A NEW GENERATION.
With over 1.1 million members, Golden 1 Credit Union offers banking products and services for Californians at any stage of their financial journey. However, with new digital-only competitors, Golden 1 needed a transformational campaign to modernize their brand and stand out among them in the marketplace.
To achieve this transformation, Questus created a comprehensive creative strategy for Golden 1 that could flex across their products while highlighting the unique experiences of Californians and the diverse geography of the state. Our solution: redefine Golden 1 as a digitally-driven banking leader through life’s key moments.

THE POWER OF A
PEOPLE-FIRST STRATEGY.
Working with Golden 1, we discovered they had an untapped advantage: the power of a purpose-driven brand. They’re for people, not for profit. So, we created a campaign that put Californians at the forefront, highlighting various moments of their journeys from buying homes to building families. This strategy helped us position Golden 1 as a trusted companion, committed to delivering exceptional financial services and improving the financial lives of its members at every stage of life.

FULL LIVES REPRESENTED
ACROSS THE FULL-FUNNEL.
Our execution involved a fully integrated campaign spanning multiple channels, including TV, radio, out-of-home billboards, CTV, OLV, paid social, display, native, streaming audio, and more.
By leveraging diverse storytelling and media platforms, we effectively engaged Californians from various demographics and geographies, driving awareness, brand consideration, and business growth.
