FAQ
How is funding structured for collaborative media?
We utilize a cooperative model where participation costs are shared across multiple credit unions or CUSOs. This allows each partner to access high-production-value content and media placement at a fraction of the cost of going it alone.
What is the typical time-to-market for campaigns?
Most campaigns move from initial alignment to public launch within 60 to 90 days. This includes narrative development, production, and media buy coordination.
Are there asset size requirements for participation?
Coauthor is designed for the entire movement. We offer tiered participation levels to ensure that both small community credit unions and large multi-state CUs can contribute and benefit according to their capacity.
How do we measure the impact of shared investments?
Partners receive quarterly reporting summaries that track collective reach, digital engagement, and brand sentiment shifts. We provide data that helps you communicate the ROI of cooperative marketing to your board.
Who handles the production and creative alignment?
Our creative team at Storyfi manages the production workflow, ensuring brand consistency while incorporating the unique co-branded elements for each participating credit union partner.
