WHERE INVESTORS BELONG: A DIGITAL APPROACH TO INNOVATION
The Vanguard Group is an American investment management company based in Malvern, Pennsylvania with over $4.4 trillion in assets under management. It is the largest provider of mutual funds and the second-largest provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the world.
The Vanguard Group knows that content can be an easy addition to any marketing plan, but it can fall flat when trying to tie creative content to business results. Due to Vanguard’s unique mutual ownership structure, Vanguard is charged with demonstrating the value that advertising provides to its existing clients while also strengthening their brand in a highly-competitive industry. Through a totally digital campaign of traditionally direct response tactics, their recent campaign proved that digital innovation can help them do both – drive sales overnight and communicate a differentiated brand story over time. In this session, hear their story in digital innovation.
