Challenge

Growing reach without extra budget

Between 2023 and 2025, a UK asset manager had increased unique visitors to its site and more than trebled market impressions while steadily improving cost efficiency. Continued pressure on budget meant that progress had to keep compounding, even as competitors with far larger marketing spend competed for the same audience attention.

For 2026, the asset manager wanted an integrated media campaign that could push efficiency further, grow prompted brand awareness towards the top of the UK market and increase ownership of its retail investment platform, all without relying on a larger budget than the previous year.

Strategy

Integrated media campaign in three phases

The 2026 integrated media campaign combined broadcast-led reach with search, display and retargeting in a single funnel, continuously reallocating budget toward the channels proving most effective.

Results

Sharper efficiency and stronger brand impact

The integrated media campaign's channel-by-channel efficiency gains fed directly into measurable growth in reach, brand awareness and platform sign-ups, all achieved without any increase in overall marketing spend.

The campaign shows how a fixed budget can out-perform far larger rivals, lifting brand awareness past two of the sector's largest names, exactly the position it set out to defend against better-funded competition.
