Case in point.
Hampshire Trust Bank .
The brief.
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) was testing new ways to drive customer acquisition, requiring a fast-turnaround paid media strategy to trial channels and scale results.
The strategy.
We built and launched a three-month paid media plan with tailored targeting and sharp messaging, allowing HTB to test channels and measure results.
The point.
The campaign supported a 13 per cent YoY uplift in new accounts, with enquiries rising consistently throughout the test period. HTB expanded its investment in paid media for new customer acquisition.
