Process

How Coauthor works.

01

Unite

Credit unions and system partners of all sizes come together on a shared media vision. Institutional size never limits member impact. The smallest CU participates alongside industry giants.

02

Fund

Select a seat with asset-based, equitable pricing. Click to contribute. As more credit unions join, the cost per member drops. That is the Synergy Effect in action.

03

Produce

Storyfi handles all creative heavy lifting. From broadcast campaigns to children's education series, we produce world-class media in-house, without the middleman tax.

04

Amplify

Track reach, engagement, and brand sentiment in real-time. Fragmented spending transformed into a collective force, delivering national-scale reach with a community-first soul.

Follow one project, end to end.

From a problem someone names out loud to measurable return for every institution that funded it. Select any stage to see who does what and what you walk away with.

Stage 01

An idea is proposed

Who: Any credit union, league, or system partner

Someone names a real member problem, from elder fraud losses to young adults never walking through the door. Ideas are posted publicly and the community upvotes the ones worth building. Nothing gets made because one person liked it.

What it means for you

You help decide what the industry produces next, before a dollar is committed.

The marketplace.

Shared Investment

Out of reach alone. Within reach together.

Most credit unions and system partners could never justify a national-caliber production on their own — and the few that could would stretch their entire marketing budget to do it. Coauthor splits one professional budget across a small group of institutions, so each one funds a fraction and every one receives the full body of work.

A $250K campaign becomes a $12.5K line item when 20 institutions co-author it — a level of production none of them could commission alone.
