The Challenge
After 83 years as PSIS, The Co-Operative Bank emerged to revolutionise New Zealand banking with an approach that put customers at its heart – as shareholders.
Yet with an already highly competitive finance sector marred by COVID-19, we needed to stand out to buck the trend of stagnation in credit card applications and reach a new audience to fit the new brand. We needed a paradigm shift.
Success would be achieved by increasing Fair Rate Credit Card applications by 17%.
The D3 Difference
To get noticed, we needed an irrefutable offer which responded to developing trends in real-time. Speed to market and a smart use of data was essential. We developed data-led prospecting, identified behavioural triggers and remarketed with intensity to our desired audiences. We created a highly selective television buying strategy based on core audience data. This was tied together by a weekly analysis of application data to enable regional agility and upweighting.
