The opportunity to work on a cherished brand, with deep roots in the community, is a rare privilege. Since 2017, Vaka has had the honour of working with the SCCU marketing team to renew and refresh the voice of Sunshine Coast Credit Union, culminating in the summer 2019 design and launch of the new website and member digital experience on C1’s Forge.  

Growing with Forge:

A platform to develop, renew and deepen relationships

Forge offers an opportunity to renew and revitalize your credit union brand, positioning it for growth. It is a platform for delivering progressive, user-centered design and messaging that is unique to you, and your community. Perhaps more than anything, it is a platform that can be leveraged to expand your community, your membership and your reach more effectively than ever before.

The art of the possible.

Forge is also a platform for storytelling, creating an emotional connection with members, deepening relationships and member loyalty, building financial health for members, and encouraging more of your members to make your credit union their primary FI.

Forge offers an opportunity that comes along once in a decade: a chance to grow your member base, expand your community and present the very best version of your brand.

Why Vaka?

Technology enables transactional relationships: member-centered design and messaging forges emotional relationships – the stuff of retention, referral and loyalty. While our team has been working under the hood of Forge for the past year, and has a complete fluency with the Forge tools, widgets and design capabilities, we recognize that what matters most is not the programming code on the platform, but the genetic code of your members.

"Vaka was an instrumental partner in fulfilling our Forge website vision. Their unique approach to leveraging this platform ensured our website reflected the true essence of our community and members. They have left us with a strong foundation for carrying our site forward in the coming years. Thank you team Vaka!"

-Jodi Fichtner, VP Marketing
Sunshine Coast Credit Union

What gives Forge its real value is the opportunity to engage your member and prospect base with design and content that inspires them to join, to act, to commit and to refer.
