9% Lower Cost Per Install

With native, trend-led creative built inside financial ad rules

Financial advertising has a narrow lane and a strict rulebook. We built content that felt native to Meta and TikTok without ever leaving it.

What they were up against

The challenge

A rulebook on every claim

Financial advertising restricts what can be promised, implied or shown, down to the phrasing.

Two platforms, two sets of rules

Meta and TikTok differ in audience and in what each will approve, so one asset rarely serves both.

Money is an awkward subject

People scroll past being lectured about their finances, however useful the product is.

What we built

The approach

01

A compliance lexicon written first

We built an approved list of terms and phrases and worked inside it from the first script.

02

Trends adapted, not borrowed

Reaction videos, street interviews and skits were rebuilt around real financial situations rather than repurposed.

03

Built per platform

TikTok and Meta got different executions, because the same asset does not carry across both.

The finding

People want to see themselves, not be advised.

The concepts that worked reflected the audience’s own experience with money back at them. Nothing that explained the product from the outside came close.

What it produced

Efficiency strong enough to scale fast.

On the top ad, in a category where attention is scarce.

Every channel improved as the account scaled, inside a rulebook that never moved.
