I'm a huge fan of "The Walking Dead." I loved the comic series, and I'm pretty much addicted to the AMC television series it produced. "The Walking Dead" will soon wrap up its third season, and we've seen our cast of characters go through quite a lot. At times, they grow by bringing in outsiders. At times, they shrink because…well, because a zombie ate one or two of them.
Zombies are a pretty big cultural phenomenon right now. Between dozens of movies ("Warm Bodies," the upcoming "World War Z"), video games ("Left 4 Dead," "Resident Evil") shows and, yes, even a song or two. Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains" tells the story of a group of zombies led by a mid-level office manager zombie who, very politely, ask to eat their co-worker.
Naturally, a few enterprising credit unions and marketing vendors have come up with zombie-themed campaigns to ride the wave of zombie-mania. CU Swag came up with an "off-the-rack" campaign pack that features a running zombie theme to help sell you a car that can escape a stumbling horde of monsters. E&A Credit Union in Michigan came up with a similar idea and a decayed, stressed-out version of their logo to boot. 121 uses zombies and zombie-themed cards to push loans. IC Federal Credit Union came up with an animated video that asks viewers, "How can you support your family if you're a zombie? Through life insurance!"
