Keeping with the feeling of the Young & Free campaign, the announcement of the 2009 Young & Free Spokester included a surprise party which is available in video www.youngfreealberta.com.
This is the second spokester for Common Wealth CU (CWCU). Myles Peterman, 18, from Edmonton, Alberta proved he best represents 17 to 25-year-olds by securing the vast majority of votes in a weeklong battle for what the previous spokester called, the most fun and rewarding job a person can ever have.
Peterman, an aspiring actor and filmmaker, secured 48 percent of the votes with his aggressive online campaign where he posted creative blogs and vlogs on the Young & Free website and on YouTube, Flickr and Twitter. With a Facebook group of more than 300 members and videos receiving 3000 views on YouTube, Myles worked hard to be everywhere his peers were online.
Young & Free began in fall 2007 as a way for CWCU to appeal to younger members. The Young & Free initiative has since won a number of national and international awards.
