5 Fundamentals of a Marketing-Driven CEO

My path to credit union leadership was a nontraditional one. I graduated with a journalism degree and developed a marketing background early in my career; not your typical path to the CEO’s office. However, the atypical starting point provided me with a unique perspective on our business.

Whether your institution is large or small, there are five marketing fundamentals you should never lose sight of among the latest marketing trends and day-to-day noise.
