AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - December 2, 2010) - Kasasa® (www.Kasasa.com), the community banking brand for those that want real choices with their money, has announced a competition to write a new advertisement for "Kasasa Giving," a free, high-interest checking account that benefits consumers financially and helps them make charitable giving a part of everyday life.
- How? By writing a poem that will be performed by one of Kasasa's slam poets on TV and radio commercials. In 75 to 250 words, give a poetic interpretation of a Kasasa Giving account, and what it means to be able to get money to keep and to pay forward just for using your account.
- What? Kasasa Giving is a free checking account that also supports three national charities: Stand Up to Cancer, American Humane Association, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
- Why? A chance to win $500 and a $500 donation on your behalf to the Kasasa Charity partner of your choice.
"Kasasa products are all about putting people first and rewarding them with something meaningful," said Gabriel Krajicek, CEO of BancVue, the developer of Kasasa. "It's only natural to include the community in the process of creating one of our new Kasasa ads."
Entries must reference each of the national causes -- either animals, children at risk and cancer research in general, or to the charities explicitly -- and include the "Do you Kasasa?" tagline. More details on the contest, including product details, charity details, previous advertising examples and full contest rules are available at http://doyoukasasa.blogspot.com/2010/11/kasasa-poetry-challenge.html.
"I hope imaginative folks will take this opportunity to show their creativity and make their mark on the most exciting brand in community banking," says Krajicek.
