West Midlands Growth Company

The City of Birmingham has a thriving FinTech economy. Situated just a short distance from London, and as such has the world’s financial markets on its doorstep, make it the ideal location to grow a tech business. WMGC were sending an inward investment team to the world famous SXSW tech festival in Houston, Texas and wanted a campaign to support their presence at the show and to connect with state-side entrepreneurs in advance of the festival.

Targeting FinTech

Our campaign had to stand out through a sea of digital and social communications, targeting tech investors looking to grow their businesses and generate strong leads that the team could meet in Houston.

Disruptive creative

Through research we knew our target audience was entrepreneurs who saw themselves as disruptors, so we developed ‘Tech for life’ that would underpin our communications and align the region with the audience.

The smart money

We developed a campaign narrative that resonated with FinTech audiences and encouraged them to follow other smart investors who’ve seen their businesses boom in Birmingham.
