Atomic Ideas Whips Up Cash For Genisys Credit Union
As we all know, money talks. So GenisysCredit Union debuted three new radio spots which feature a likeable, relatable character named "Cash" who is in essence, your hard earned cash - ie. your money! Targeted to "GenY" and "GenX" men and women, these spots, written and produced by Atomic Ideas, casually inform listeners of the benefits of Genisys Credit Union versus banks or other credit unions.
These spots also roll out Genisys Credit Union's new web address genisys.me utilizing the just released ".me" suffix. Why use the new ".me" instead of ".com"? Because Genisys is all about you -- or as the consumer internalizes it, all about me!
