MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Jan. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Local member-owned cooperative TopLine Financial Credit Union was honored with four marketing awards from the Minnesota Credit Union Network (MnCUN). The Minnesota Credit Union Network Marketing Awards acknowledges the outstanding programs credit unions have created to grow brand awareness and market to members and nonmembers alike. TopLine was recognized in four categories: Design, Digital Advertising, Engagement and Outreach, and Video.
In the Design category, TopLine’s National Insurance Month campaign brought the honor. TopLine’s National Insurance Month campaign centered around a Game Show theme with the “hosts” being TopLine Insurance Agents who asked trivia questions each Monday. The campaign strategy included an email and series of social media posts throughout the month of September, National Insurance Month.
TopLine took home the award in the Digital Advertising category for their 5 Days of TopLine Instagram Giveaway. Throughout the month of December, TopLine gave away some of the season’s hottest gifts on TopLine’s Instagram by asking followers to do a series of actions to enter the contest. The purpose behind the contest was to encourage members to follow and engage with TopLine on Instagram along with increased general awareness in the public. The “5 Days of TopLine” giveaway was also promoted internally with employees encouraging them to participate, enter and share with friends and family.
In the Engagement and Outreach category, TopLine won for their various donation drives.

TopLine donation drives are promoted internally to employees and externally to members and their communities.
TopLine’s Community Giveback video took top honors in the Video category.
