Case Study: How We Helped a Fintech Brand Process $70M+ in TPV
Fintech in Nigeria is an absolute blood sport. Trust is incredibly expensive to build, shockingly easy to lose, and consumers are naturally skeptical about exactly where their hard-earned money is going. In a crowded market, the real challenge isn’t just getting people to download an app, it’s convincing them to actually trust that app with their funds.

When a prominent fintech client decided to partner with us at The Kontent Hub, they didn't just want broad visibility; they wanted a high-precision fintech marketing strategy engineered for deep user acquisition and we did just so!

Here is exactly how our marketing agency turned skeptical attention into over $70,000,000+ in Total Processing Volume (TPV).

  1. Step 1: Creator Activation and Influencer Marketing  We kicked off the campaign by deploying a ₦20,000,000+ creator/influencer marketing budget. Instead of just chasing vanity follower counts, we intentionally partnered with trusted creators and influencers whose audiences perfectly aligned with the brand’s niche. These influencers didn't just post promotional flyers, they humanized the product, broke down user anxieties, and laid a solid foundation of digital trust.
  2. Step 2: High-Intent Paid Ads Optimization
    While creators built the trust, our performance marketing engine turned that raw attention into measurable user action. We deployed over $10,000 in paid ad spend across Meta, TikTok, and Google. Crucially, we didn't waste budget optimizing for cheap app installs. Instead, we laser-targeted high-intent users, optimizing strictly for down-funnel milestones: “Completed KYC” and “First Funded Account.”
  3. Step 3: Real-World Experiential Activations
    Fintech cannot live entirely online. To capture high-value, transaction-ready audiences, we took the product straight to the streets. Through highly strategic experiential booths and instant reward milestones, we gave potential users a compelling, physical reason to sign up and fund their accounts in real-time.
  4. Step 4: Behavioral Retention Funnels
    Acquisition is expensive, but customer retention is where the real profit hides. We built automated, multi-channel Email and SMS funnels to nurture users throughout their lifecycle. For instance, if a user completed their KYC registration but failed to make a transaction within 7 days, our system automatically triggered localized, highly relatable SMS nudges and incentives to push them over the finish line.
Move Beyond Vanity Metrics
The result? A frictionless growth engine that converted casual scrolling into a massive $70,000,000+ processed in Total Payment Volume.

Massive operational numbers like this don’t happen by accident. If your business is ready to move past empty likes and build a high-converting growth engine, we are ready to run it.
