Powering Your Credit Union’s Entire Member Journey
What is Substation?
Substation provides digital marketing strategy, execution, and automation for credit unions and the agencies that support them.
What Does Substation Do?
In your community, there are thousands of people looking for their next financial product — a better rate, a new car, a first apartment, a financial reset, or simply something that feels more human than the big banks down the street. When that person is ready, they're likely to sit down at a computer or grab their phone to research options. That's where digital visibility comes into play. At Substation, I help credit unions meet them with the right message, in the right channel, at exactly the right time — building that member relationship from the very beginning and carrying it all the way through with automation: from how a stranger finds you, to how a new member feels during their first 90 days, to their next best product, to how long-term members stay connected and loyal. The entire journey matters, and when you build it intentionally, it becomes one of the strongest growth engines a credit union can have.
Organic Optimization
I build Search and Generative Engine Optimization strategies to help you show up for every opportunity in the evolving landscape of search and A.I. platforms like Chat GPT and Gemini. I measure and optimize your website's funnel as a pipeline for more applications through strategic Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).
Digital Advertising
I create comprehensive advertising strategies and campaigns focused on conversions that matter. This means transparency and clarity through every step of the process and reporting that’s informative. You’ll have confidence that your paid spend is delivering real results and getting the most value for your budget.
HubSpot Automation
I design automation systems with HubSpot that grow leads, nurture relationships, increase retention, and earn loyalty. This includes strategic touchpoints to trigger at the right time so your members receive the communications that matter most. Workflows and integrations run in the background so your team can focus on the big picture.
