uncommn Marketing Partners Review: A Full-Service Agency That "Gets It"

Ever worked with a marketing agency that promises the world but delivers something closer to a disappointing postcard? I’ve been there—until I stumbled upon uncommn Marketing Partners. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill agency; they’re a hybrid of creative thinkers and technical wizards, specializing in credit unions but versatile enough to handle broader marketing needs. After partnering with them for a rebranding project and website overhaul, here’s what stood out.

Tailored Solutions Without the Corporate Fluff

uncommn’s biggest strength is their ability to actually listen. Unlike agencies that push cookie-cutter strategies, they took time to understand our credit union’s unique voice before suggesting anything. Their team blends expertise from two legacy companies (Greenville’s uncommn and Allentown’s Marketing Partners Inc.), so they offer depth in both creative marketing and functional execution.

Need an ADA-compliant website that doesn’t look like a compliance afterthought? Check. Want custom print materials that don’t feel like generic bank mailers? They nailed it. Their approach feels collaborative, not transactional.

Web Development That Balances Form and Function

A lot of agencies claim to build "affordable" websites, but uncommn delivers sites that are both cost-effective and legitimately polished. Our new site wasn’t just visually sharp—it was optimized for accessibility and performance right out of the gate. They didn’t upsell us on unnecessary features but focused on what would improve member engagement.

One small critique? Their initial timeline was slightly optimistic (we hit a minor delay during content migration), but their team communicated transparently and resolved issues quickly.

Social & Digital Marketing Without the Guesswork

Their social media management (SMM) and paid ad services (SEM) were refreshingly data-driven. Instead of vague promises about "increasing engagement," they provided clear metrics and adjusted campaigns based on real-time performance. Facebook and Instagram ads targeted our niche audience effectively, and their reporting was straightforward—no vanity metrics masquerading as success.

Print & Branding That Feels Cohesive

From member newsletters to branch signage, uncommn ensured every piece aligned with our rebrand. Their print production quality was impressive, and they managed everything from design to mailing logistics. If I had to nitpick, I’d say their design team occasionally defaulted to "safe" aesthetics for financial clients, but they were open to bolder ideas when pushed.

Pros:

✔ Credit union specialists who understand niche audiences
✔ Full-service flexibility (print, digital, branding, ads)
✔ ADA-compliant web builds that don’t sacrifice creativity
✔ Transparent, no-nonsense communication

Cons:

➔ Timelines can be tight (allow buffer for revisions)
➔ Design leans conservative unless you steer them

Final Thoughts

uncommn Marketing Partners lives up to their "we just get it" tagline. They’re not the cheapest option, but they’re a worthwhile investment for credit unions or financial orgs that want marketing done right—without the jargon and fluff. Minor hiccups aside, their blend of strategic thinking and hands-on execution made them a partner, not just a vendor.

If you need an agency that balances creativity with compliance (and actually responds to emails), they’re worth a conversation.
