Card Services for Credit Unions® Announces 2013 CAMEO Awards Winners


TAMPA, Fla. (March 8, 2013) Card Services for Credit Unions® today announced the winners of its 2013 CAMEO Card Marketing Awards, which recognize member credit unions that developed the most innovative and resourceful marketing campaigns of the year.  Winners will be awarded at Card Services for Credit Unions® Solutions Conference, April 24-28 at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Fla. 

Ninety-one entries from 70 credit unions nationwide were submitted for this year’s CAMEO competition.  All winners receive conference registration waivers, and overall and category winners receive travel funds to attend the meeting, where attendees will have the opportunity to network and learn industry best practices from other credit unions.

“Our annual conference provides a forum for credit unions to share those best practices that have improved their bottom lines, and marketing efforts are a significant driver of such success,” said Bill Lehman, vice president of portfolio consulting at Card Services for Credit Unions®.  “The CAMEOs showcase the year’s most successful marketing campaigns that are enabling our members to stay competitive and profitable.”

Following the conference, the 2013 winning campaigns will be added to the Marketing Idea Portal (www.cscucameo.net) where credit unions can search for successful marketing ideas.
