Monzo's goal was to reach students across the UK with an engaging, friendly message that underscored its convenience and student-oriented benefits. To achieve this, we partnered with Lucy Fairall, a creator known for her humorous and relatable content tailored to student life. Lucy's established connection with her audience allowed us to showcase Monzo's banking features in a way that was both informative and entertaining.

The campaign unfolded through a series of TikTok and Instagram videos where Lucy humorously navigated common student financial scenarios, from budgeting to bill splitting, demonstrating how Monzo's features simplify banking for students. The content highlighted Monzo's user-friendly app, spending insights, and security features, all while maintaining a lighthearted and relatable tone that resonated with Gen Z viewers.
