Telling the Story of Credit Union Resilience

The Ohio Credit Union League’s 2020 annual report needed to do two things at once: give credit union leaders a transparent view of the organization’s performance, and celebrate the progress made during an unusually difficult year. I used the report as an opportunity to reinforce the League’s newly launched visual identity while turning a dense mix of metrics, milestones, and member support touch points into a polished narrative.
