01

The brief

Two brands, one parent, a new concept every season.

Two brands, one parent, a new concept every season.

Aviso Wealth is the investment arm of Canada's credit union system. It runs two consumer brands: Qtrade, a self-directed online brokerage, and NEI, a fund company that speaks to advisors and values-driven investors.
I built the performance creative for both: campaign concepts from scratch, then a separate template system for each brand, so every concept could ship across every placement, every season, in static and motion.

02

Two brands, two registers

Opposite audiences needed opposite voices.

Opposite audiences needed opposite voices.

Qtrade speaks to investors who manage their own money, so its creative is bold, urgent and offer-led. NEI speaks to advisors and investors who want proof before they move, so its creative is restrained and evidence-first.
Financial advertising compliance and correct brand attribution were built into the first draft, not added at review.

Qtrade. Offer first, in a voice built for investors who act on their own.

NEI. Proof first, in a voice built for advisors.

03

One concept, every format

Built once, deployed in four formats.

Built once, deployed in four formats.

Each campaign started as a master concept, then went out in 1x1, 4x5, 9x16 and 16x9, in static and animated versions, and in English and French where the placement called for it.

One $0 concept across 4:5, 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9.

Built to run all year

Quarter after quarter of paid campaigns across both brands.

Because each brand had its own system, a new season meant a new concept, not a rebuild. The work ran in a test-and-learn environment led by the performance team, and after each review new variants were designed into the same system.

Every campaign across both brands, each in its full set of formats.

Drawing on the product

Acquisition creative that shows the platform itself.

Acquisition creative that shows the platform itself.

For acquisition, the creative borrowed Qtrade's own interface language, putting the trading platform in front of the investors it was built for.

06

What I'd keep

The strongest concept is the one that performs in market, not the one that looks best in review. Building the system before the execution is what let every concept be re-cut and run again.
