Challenge
Most people don’t think about finance products until they need to. So to make the most of this limited and infrequent opportunity when businesses are in-market, we’d need to plant the seeds of the Xero brand long before they would blossom at decision time.
Instead of focusing on the tiny percentage in-market we’d invest in priming the vast majority who weren’t yet - adopting B2C norms for the ambitious B2B brand.
Solution
Our media strategy focussed on expanding brand fame and stature by making Xero stand out across multiple touchpoints:
1. Broad reach and penetration
2. Repeated exposures
3. Emotional impact and memorability with a distinctive asset
