FinTech Revolution Case Study

How we helped a financial technology app generate 3,500+ downloads in the first month with TikTok marketing.

FinTech Revolution Case Study

Client Challenge

FinTech Revolution, an innovative financial technology startup, had developed a powerful mobile application that simplifies personal finance management. However, as a newcomer in a competitive market dominated by established banking apps, they faced significant challenges in achieving user adoption.

The company faced several key obstacles:

  • Limited marketing budget compared to larger financial institutions
  • Difficulty breaking through in a crowded app marketplace
  • Low brand awareness among their target demographic (Gen Z and Millennials)
  • Previous marketing efforts on traditional platforms yielded minimal results

Our Approach

After analyzing their target audience and competitive landscape, we proposed a bold strategy focusing on TikTok as the primary marketing channel. Our market research showed that their ideal users were spending significant time on this platform, presenting an untapped opportunity.

Viral Content Strategy

Created shareable, educational financial content that showcased the app's features in an entertaining way.

Influencer Partnerships

Collaborated with finance-focused TikTok creators with highly engaged audiences in the target demographic.

Trend Hijacking

Rapidly produced content that leveraged current TikTok trends while incorporating the app's unique selling points.

Implementation

Our TikTok-focused campaign was executed through a four-phase approach:

1

Content Creation & Testing (Week 1)

Produced 20+ TikTok videos with different angles and messaging to identify the most effective approaches.

2

Influencer Campaign Launch (Week 2)

Deployed 5 micro-influencers to create authentic content demonstrating the app in real-life scenarios.

3

Paid Ad Scaling (Weeks 3-4)

Amplified top-performing organic content with strategic ad spend targeting high-intent audiences.

4

Retention Campaign (Week 4+)

Launched retargeting campaigns and in-app incentives to boost user retention and engagement.

"We were initially skeptical about focusing so heavily on TikTok, but Kanopy Global's data-driven approach convinced us to take the leap. The results were beyond our expectations - not just in downloads but in active users. Their strategy has fundamentally changed our marketing direction."
