During this project, we provided financial marketing support for a fintech startup aimed at helping institutional investors to overcome the challenges of trading in Asia Pacific.
Holders looking for reliable investor event data from Asia Pacific face unique challenges: Limited event access, a complex web of regulatory hurdles, local language barriers, and more. Solving the challenge would require a team with deep experience in the world of institutional investing as well as regional knowledge of the area's complex business environment.
The SCRIPTS Asia platform helps institutional investors in the US and Europe gain access to over 2500 APAC equities with reliable English language transcripts, delivered in multiple formats, and capable of driving real-time investment decisions.
SCRIPTS Asia's target audience included the hardest-to-reach institutional investors. Breaking through the noise meant that the company needed to build a strong brand, deliver compelling value early, and follow through with one-to-one outreach. It needed a seamless brand experience in which potential subscribers could see how its data and the process of aggregating it would move the needle on their goals.
Our strategy aimed to make SCRIPTS Asia a single source of truth for APAC investor event data by owning unbranded searches, gating access, and positioning itself as the most trusted access point.
The company's small sales team conducted person-to-person outreach like email and phone calls internally. It needed marketing and communications help to support its sales process, though. As a startup, it wanted to keep its footprint light. So, it needed an off-site team that could conduct a wide range of sales enablement tasks.
Our project team was purpose-built to deliver on the company's unique objectives. It included strategic, creative, and technical resources like branding, visual design, search and conversion rate optimization, and front-end development, led by an account strategist and integrated project manager. All worked together to ensure the project strategy was working and able to support the client's unique needs.
Our project manager embedded with the startup's executive and sales teams as a marketing leader. The blended partnership included simultaneous managed services and tactical projects administrated through bi-monthly conference calls and quarterly in-person meetings, as well as real-time chat/email communications. Collaborative sessions included the most recent company updates as well as an opportunity to provide feedback on progress.
The company saw a significant uptick in the type, volume, and quality of leads generated through its marketing activities and it's higher profile and viability was a contributing factor in a subsequent acquisition by the Japanese Stock Exchange.
