Featuring a troll and his toll business.
Australian founded global finance and payments company Afterpay has launched a brand campaign, ‘Afterpay where you wouldn’t believe’, enlisting the help of a unique spokesperson; a troll and his toll business.
The troll, a passionate Afterpay merchant who loves telling his customers about all the places they can use Afterpay where they wouldn’t believe, explains just how easy it is to use Afterpay in-store with the Afterpay Card.
This is the first campaign created by BMF for Afterpay; building awareness of the new places and ways, (in-store with the Afterpay Card), people can Afterpay, including at the optometrist, dentist and hardware stores, to buying tickets to concerts, sports games and experiences such as hot air ballooning, and much more.
Andrew Balint, vice president of marketing ANZ, said Afterpay was born of the notion that there must be a fairer and better way to pay.
"The launch of ‘Afterpay where you wouldn’t believe’ builds on our market-leading position in the buy now pay later category and brings to life all the varied, amazing, and sometimes even surprising places you can Afterpay, in a fresh, bold and uplifting way," said Balint.
Harry Stanford, associate creative director at BMF, said he knows that Australians love the feeling of financial freedom.
"Whether it's being able to pay for a necessary dental treatment without missing out, or being able to buy tickets to Harry Styles," he said.
"Afterpay has always been a bold and distinct brand, which is why we created an iconically unique Aussie character to spread the word."
'Afterpay where you wouldn’t believe’ will run across TV, social, digital audio and outdoor.
