Under this collaborative effort, students were given the chance to immerse themselves in developing a comprehensive marketing campaign.
 
More than 800 debit cards were opened within the first six months of the campaign launch. “In our collaboration with three of the University of North Florida’s brightest students, we’ve seen firsthand the incredible value that hands-on, real-world experience brings to both students and our business,” said VyStar SVP of Marketing Strategy and Member Engagement Jonathan Hanson. “The creativity and insight provided by these students have not only enriched our launch strategy but also have contributed to building a robust pipeline of future marketing leaders.”
