02The challenge
An established international fintech wanted to enter Australia without importing assumptions from its home market. It needed local audience understanding, a credible media presence and a clear read on whether acquisition economics would hold.
03What we did
- Sized the category opportunity and modelled launch economics before any media commitment
- Localised global creative for Australian cues without breaking the brand system
- Built a Total TV core with digital capture running underneath it
- Ran a clean geographic test to isolate incremental effect
- Reported weekly against acquisition cost, not impressions
04The result
The pilot established a reliable performance baseline inside two months. Acquisition cost fell as the TV weight built recognition, and the client moved from a fixed pilot budget to always-on investment with a New Zealand extension under review.
“They treated our launch budget like it was their own money.”
