Our Client is a multinational banking corporation that operates a  network of more than 500 offices, in 19 countries in Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and North America.

As a result of the economic downturn brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, many financial institutions shifted their investment strategies to focus more heavily on digital advertising. This led to a significant increase in competition on platforms such as Google, Facebook, TikTok, and Line, which in turn drove up customer acquisition costs for banks. Our client's marketing team was struggling to keep up with these rising costs and maintain profit margins.
