Suze Orman
November 15, 2010, Alexandria, Va. — The National Credit Union Administration‟s “NCUA-safe” public education campaign took a giant step forward today with the unveiling of a 26-foot tall commercial message board in Times Square, New York, touting the safety of federal deposit insurance for credit unions.
The message board, known as the “Letterman Board,” features late night talk show host David Letterman and other CBS-TV programming, from 6:00 a.m.-midnight. A donated :15 second public service announcement (PSA), featuring Suze Orman, will be shown two times per hour from November 15 through January, 1, 2011, the heaviest period of pedestrian traffic.

“This latest pickup of NCUA advertising could not have come at a more opportune time. With millions of consumers flooding Times Square for the Thanksgiving Parade, the ‟Black Friday‟ start to the holiday shopping season, New Year‟s Eve, and other days that see large numbers of visitors, NCUA‟s share insurance campaign has hit „prime time,‟” commented NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz. “The reception for our :30 and :60 second PSA commercials has been extremely positive, both from the credit union community and the consumers who we‟re trying to reach, and now the campaign is receiving the added boost of a highly-visible and perfectly-placed Times Square ad. It is gratifying to see our important public service message about the strength of federal deposit insurance receiving such widespread coverage, and we look forward to even more pickup in the coming months.”
