01 · the challenge

The NSE Investment Challenge is the Nairobi Securities Exchange’s annual competition that teaches university and college students to invest through a simulated trading environment — the pipeline for Kenya’s next generation of retail investors. The audience lives on Twitter and Facebook, speaks fluent meme and scrolls fast; the campaign had to make the stock market feel like a game worth playing, and drive sign-ups inside the competition window.

02 · the approach
twitter as the campaign engine Conversation-led content where young Kenya debates everything — driving 11.9M impressions and 2.1M reach inside the window.
facebook for depth & sign-ups Explainers and registration-driving content — 1.6M impressions, 410K reach, 19.3K clicks and 23.5K engagements.
google display for reach beyond social Display flights extending the campaign across the open web — 1.35M further impressions on the audience’s browsing paths.
