Challenge

Our client needed a refresh of their current advertising strategy, which largely focused on sports sponsorships and radio partnerships.

For many years, RedZed has been the major partner of Melbourne Storm, as well as the statistics partner of Triple M’s AFL and NRL radio broadcast. Whilst this has garnered millions of brand mentions in a perfect environment for

RedZed’s target audience, they were struggling to generate meaningful brand awareness amongst a highly competitive category that typically competes on one point: price.

Goal

We need to increase brand awareness and share of voice in the banking and finance category.

 Loans aren’t an everyday purchase, so we can’t drive sales via events, limited releases, or one off offers. Only around 44% of the Australian population have a mortgage, and we see around 500,000 new loans in Australia annually. One thing we know for sure is that when people are considering house purchases and loans, we need to be top of mind.

Using our full suite of audience and media software, we deep dived into our audience and their social habits, travel frequency, hobbies and interest, media consumption habits and anything else we could find. Alongside this we refined the existing creative to better connect with our potential customers.

Result

A record breaking result for RedZed.

By introducing some longer form commercials on radio, and programmatic outdoor billboards following Melbourne Storm games, we focused on enhancing the current sponsorships and making sure our customers know exactly who we are and how we can help them. 

We also got creative. Becoming a brand partner with Triple M’s Best of Melbourne campaign gave us the opportunity to further extend our brand equity on the network, as well as connect with some of our core audience – small business owners.
 
The strategy led to an unprecedented surge in performance.
