Campaign 1: Improve adoption of flagship card

Niyo has a debit card built specifically for users when traveling internationally. The team wanted to boost adoption of this card.

Niyo used a full-page video to introduce their debit card.

  • Audience: Targeted to users who haven’t yet ordered the card.
  • Leading metrics: KYC completion, passport verification and account creation were all up by ~80-100%.

Users who saw the video ordered the debit card at a 35% higher rate than those who didn’t see the video.

Users could watch these Instagram-like stories multiple times, increasing recall and driving engagement.

  • Audience: Targeted to all the users interested in international travel but who had not yet booked.

The campaign clocked in 43k impressions, with an average CTR of ~9%.
