Amy and the Blonde Ambition team rock! Not only have they been my sanity keepers, but they are also very good at what they do. If you are looking at developing a campaign for any of your products and services, they are your answer. The team is creative and organized where deadlines are their priority and handling multiple tasks/requests is the norm. I absolutely love working with Amy and her team. I highly recommend them to any credit union trying to stand out from the competition.

Blonde Ambition immerses themselves into the culture of your organization and truly becomes a part of your marketing team. They are very different than any other marketing firm I have worked with, they are always accessible whether it is late at night or the middle of the day. I have had situations where I have called them at 8:00 at night with a radio spot that needed to be done and they were able to get the script written, approved and produced by noon the next day. They really go the extra mile to make your business succeed by always meeting the deadlines set forth! Working with Blonde Ambition has truly been a breath of fresh air because they are able to take on any task or project we throw their way with enthusiasm and the ability to execute brilliantly!

Blonde Ambition provides a team-based work ethic to everything they do, immersing themselves into the CU’s goals, culture and brand. It’s like having a marketing department times two – they can do the work we just don’t have time to do! I can trust them 100% to take something we’ve assigned and not only run with it, but develop, manage and track every detail without having to micromanage or worry about the results. The level of work produced and way of thinking about a project/goal is like no one else out there. Blonde Ambition is a true strategic planning partner who helps me think outside my day-to-day tasks at the CU. Working with Blonde Ambition is not only a sanity-keeper, it’s like working with your closest friends!

Terrill and the Blonde Ambition team bring their refreshing drive, uncompromised passion, and diverse and unique expertise to every project they undertake. Terrill made it a personal mission to get our Home Loan Center known and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Terrill’s personal experience and knowledge of the mortgage industry’s ins-and-outs has made my job a whole lot easier – it wasn’t necessary to get him “up to speed.” The entire BA team delivers the innovative marketing results most credit unions only dream of. So if gaining more members and home loans are your goals, I would highly recommend Terrill and the Blonde Ambition team.

Blonde Ambition helped us reach a somewhat lofty mortgage goal in a tight amount of time, and did so with a level of understanding, expertise and innovative, strategic-thought. The fact that my Marketing Coordinator and I could call any one of them up, make a request and have it not only completed, but reexamined and taken to a different level made us realize we weren’t just working with any agency. We had a partner that took the time to get to know us, asked the questions we didn't think of, and took each project to a new level--allowing us not only to be successful, but more knowledgeable along the way. And, they’re pretty fun to work with too! They can relate to the stresses a credit union (and specifically a credit union marketing department) feels and can be that expert you look for to help you, the partner you need to bounce things off of, and the friendly, understanding ear to just listen and make you smile.

Blonde Ambition is very tattoo-worthy in my opinion. They know how to make the competition irrelevant by truly creating a unique brand for your organization. If you want to work with people who will push you and make you question everything, you need to hire Blonde Ambition. If you want someone to just tell you that what you are already doing is okay, go somewhere else.
