Local Credit Union Wins Six National Marketing & Design Awards
Seattle, Washington....................................................April 29, 2003
Watermark Credit Union, a Seattle-based financial institution, has recently won a total of six awards from two national credit union industry organizations.
Watermark earned four awards from the Credit Union Executive Society (CUES). These awards were for its logo, its overall brand identity, its quarterly newsletter, and a coordinated marketing campaign to promote Certificates of Deposit.
Watermark earned two awards from the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing Council. The awards were for its logo and the design of its credit and ATM cards.
Several local companies assisted Watermark with its marketing efforts. Valco Graphics of Kent, Washington, prints the credit union's newsletters. Weber Marketing Group and James Clark Design Images, both of Seattle, created the award-winning logo and brand identity of Watermark Credit Union.
This not-for-profit credit union was established in 1938 to provide financial services to employees of the local telephone company. Today, anyone who lives or works in Washington State is eligible to become a member of Watermark Credit Union.
With over 60,000 members, Watermark Credit Union is the eighth largest credit union by membership in Washington State. It has branches in downtown Seattle, Lynnwood, Southcenter, Bellevue and Redmond.
