Solution

Hydrogen developed a multi-channel, awareness-driven media plan and playful, relevant creative to educate this elusive younger audience. The campaign “Answers, Not Judgment” reached our target audience through social media platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat, streaming OTT video commercials, and a comprehensive, multi-dimensional behavioral banner ad campaign. These channels were supported by media such as paid search and retargeting that drove website form fills and new membership applications. The campaign positioned WSECU as a judgment-free zone for answers on relevant financial topics for those just beginning their financially independent, adult life: e.g., credit cards, checking accounts, cryptocurrency and investing.
