Vancouver-based fintech firm leverages strategic partnership with Postmedia to build brand awareness
VANCOUVER, Aug. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Over the past two months, Mogo Finance Technology Inc. (TSX: GO) ("Mogo") ran its #FinancesWithBenefits campaign, generating nearly 240 million media impressions1. Mogo's ads have been seen by more Canadians than ever through its strategic media partnership with Postmedia Network Inc. ("Postmedia"), securing advertising placement in Postmedia publications across their print and digital platforms.
Leveraging Postmedia's extensive Canadian network, which according to Vividata's 2016-Q1 study of Canadian consumers, has the highest readership of all Canadian newspaper groups with 10.7 million weekly print and digital readers, Mogo successfully launched its #FinancesWithBenefits campaign on June 1, 2016. The campaign highlighted unique benefits of the Mogo® Account over 30 consecutive days to maximize exposure and increase brand awareness among Canadians.
"We're looking to make an impact and build a relevant brand for millennial-minded consumers seeking digital banking alternatives. We know that millennials build loyalty to the community around the brand, rather than the brand itself, so we featured real people we've built real connections with in our ads," explained David Feller, Founder and CEO of Mogo. "We featured Mogo employees and Canadian influencers throughout the campaign to showcase the community we've already built, and inspire others to join the conversation."
With more than 200,000 current members, Mogo's goal is to reach one million members over the next three years. Working directly with the country's largest media network allows the fintech firm to build brand awareness at an accelerated rate and introduce Canadians to a truly digital financial experience in a way that can't be matched.
"The Vividata study revealed that, on average, daily newspapers reach 77% of millennials across Canada each week. Our Postmedia marketing partnership has enabled us to gain significant leverage in our marketing investment, as well as de-risk this spend and reach new target audiences. We're able to communicate with more than 10 million Canadians every week to deliver our value proposition—that gives us a major competitive advantage," continued Feller.
Mogo is currently running daily print, digital and sponsored content ads nationally across Postmedia's network, with a higher concentration in BC, AB and ON.
