I am so happy to be included in instalment #3 of Currency Marketing’s Credit Union Innovators Podcast series. I was honoured that Tim asked, and I hope the resulting podcast is informative and entertaining.
Enjoy!
Oh, and you can subscribe to the whole series via iTunes.
I was interviewed by Diane Franklin several weeks back for an article in CU Management Magazine’s upcoming issue. The article, entitled Web 2.0: High Tech, High Touch focuses on what a credit union board should know about social media.
We had a great interview, addressing many different topics, and I guess it was enough material for a whole other piece, titled One Credit Union’s Web 2.0 Strategy. It’s a good take on Vancity and why we launched ChangeEverything.ca.
Take a look…
A year ago, we ran the Viva La Resolution! contest on ChangeEverything.ca for people to name their New Year’s resolutions, and if they blogged about them at least three times, they could win $500.
The entries last year were amazing. The story of EnviroWoman, who resolved not to use any new plastics in 2007, provided amazingly inspirational stories and drew a ton of new visitors to the site. She won the contest, and had to be paid in an alternative to the Visa gift card we were giving, because we just couldn’t give her plastic as a prize.
LJMK came in second with her resolution to de-clutter her life. And degan came in third place when she resolved to run a marathon.
Now, a year later, we’re re-running the contest, looking for people to name their 2008 New Year’s resolution and blog about it. The prizes have been doubled, so the winners will receive $1,000, $250 or $100 in the form of a Vancity mytreat Visa gift card.
Please spread the word.
