SUMMARY
With Financial Advisors seeing no difference between iShares and other Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), iShares’ market leadership was slipping.
Through the story of a zealously overachieving prodigy Eleanor (E.T.F.), who embodied the extraordinary abilities of iShares ETFs, we showed that iShares could do more than Advisors thought possible.
Eleanor increased Consideration +120% and persuaded 80% of Financial Advisors to use iShares more.
The campaign surpassed all category norms and helped iShares hit record-breaking new business figures - powerfully reclaiming iShares’ position at the top of the ETF world.
