Y&F scores CUES Golden Mirror Hat-Trick!

By Tim McAlpine

This is a super-quick note to report that Common Wealth Credit Union's Young & Free Alberta campaign scored a CUES Golden Mirror hat-trick tonight!

• First place for image enhancement campaigns over $700 million category
• First place for segmented campaigns all assets category
• First place for public relations all assets category

We were up against over 900 entries. Needless to say, I am super stoked.

Thanks to the Currency team, the Common Wealth Credit Union team, our PR partners, Brookline Public Relations, our media partners, DSA Media, our technology partners, K1 Technology and of course our superstar, Larissa Walkiw—you make it look too easy my friend.

You guys all rock. Here is a link to the press release.

P.S. I recorded a bunch of great stuff tonight for the CUES Experience Podcast, but since it is now past midnight, I am not going to be editing anything tonight!
