How do you position Ramp as a time-saving, easy corporate card solution to an audience of time-poor, under-caffeinated, hungry fintech professionals?
Meet them en route. Give them coffee. Save them time.
Ramp is a US-based fintech disruptor with a clear objective of streamlining business expense management. Their mission is to simplify the complicated and make the stressful world of corporate finance a little less chaotic.
We heat-mapped New York, Chicago and Boston to find the optimal location to target potential customers. Then, we transformed a vintage food truck into the ultimate brand roadshow, taking a bold Ramp coffee truck around North America to draw in over 50000, and deliver delicious free coffee.
This Audience
Let’s be real… This crowd thrives on efficiency, deadlines, and numbers that always have to add up. Financial experts are constantly on the move, juggling spreadsheets and cash flows while checking emails in between meetings. So, how do you create an activation that speaks directly to them?
Give them something they can’t resist – time and coffee.
A Beacon on Wall Street
Imagine bustling city streets, where financial professionals hurry past, their minds occupied by the latest report and notes for their next meeting.
They spot our brightly coloured coffee truck, a beacon and invitation amidst the grey chaos of the New York, Chicago, and Boston financial districts.
It’s right outside their office. They stop in for a drink. They stay a while.
Our coffee truck strategy drew a parallel between Ramp’s time-saving and convenient solutions, with an experience that reinforced the overarching message that Ramp = convenience = efficiency.
