Lizeth GeorgeIn an era where finding and retaining top marketing talent is like searching for a needle in a haystack, credit unions face significant challenges. The traditional approach of hiring in-house marketing professionals not only comes with the burden of recruitment costs but also entails the looming threat of “key man risk” – the vulnerability that arises when a crucial team member departs, leaving a gaping hole in the organization’s capabilities. However, there’s a smarter, more efficient solution on the horizon: outsourcing marketing to experts like Growth by Design.
