Case Study
Summary
Young Aussies 18-34 years aren’t the most profitable customers for a bank in the short-term. However, their acquisition is critical to long-term success. At the start of 2021 Westpac wasn’t recruiting its fair share of this audience, with brand consideration trailing behind the competition. The previous ‘life moments’ campaign connected with older Aussies but left young Aussies feeling like the brand didn’t understand their needs.
By reinventing the platform to address the moments that mattered to their lives, Westpac’s brand consideration amongst these youngsters lifted to the highest levels ever, in a time frame that defied the marketing science.
