Objective Build a platform that would help us engage with our online consumers and educate them on Mutual Funds in an effective manner over a period of time. Key Insight Learning about investments is considered boring, and investing in mutual funds is not in the consumer’s consideration set. This is because investors have been familiar with the traditional investing instruments for generations and are reluctant to make a change even if it benefits them more. Strategy We realized that our TG uses digital tools as their primary source of information and entertainment. Hence, our strategy was to strike the right balance between the two to create high levels of engagement with the consumer. Hence, the Fundtastic Cup was born – An online, cricket themed quiz that effectively educated its players over a period of 6 months.
