About The Entry


Cashme, a mobile application offering instant credit, had long struggled with stagnation. Despite the value it provided, its visibility was low and public perception was vague. Potential users either didn’t know the app existed or failed to understand how it could support them in critical financial moments. To revive the brand, an integrated marketing strategy was launched to reposition Cashme as more than a credit tool—as a reliable financial friend. Audience research revealed a key insight: individuals over 30 often re-evaluate their lives and strive to achieve dreams with less external support than in childhood. Leveraging this, the campaign dropped the word “credit” from all communications. Instead, it emphasized relatable, emotional moments that required financial help, anchored in the campaign line: “WHEN YOU CAN…”
Examples included:
“When you can celebrate your child’s birthday now, not after payday.”
“When you can pay for daycare on time, without waiting.”



The execution followed a full-funnel, cross-platform strategy:
Awareness phase: Influencer collaborations, digital ads, and OOH.
Consideration phase: Testimonials, tutorials, and social content explaining benefits.
Conversion phase: Retargeting, in-app CTAs, referral incentives, and localized landing pages. This message was delivered consistently across all platforms—social, digital, in-app, influencer, and offline—ensuring strong brand recall and emotional resonance.
Results exceeded all expectations:
Application submissions increased by 338% in 3 months.
Submissions grew 560% in one year, far surpassing the client’s projected 7% monthly growth.
Brand perception shifted from a loan provider to a “financial friend.”
Short-term loans were normalized for the target audience, especially adults managing family life.
Just a few key message shifts transformed Cashme’s trajectory. The longer the campaign ran, the stronger the results became—consistently outperforming expectations and proving the power of a strategically integrated approach.
