01
Challenge

What was not working

From the beginning of our collaboration, Credius wanted almost everything we had to offer. We provided them with an "all-inclusive" package, from SEO to online promotion. The task was not simple, but it was very clear: to grow the Credius brand across the entire online environment, in a highly competitive financial market.

  • The NBFI market is crowded and highly regulated.
  • The brand needed rapid growth across multiple channels simultaneously.
  • Communication had to be credible for a financial product.
  • The need for coordination between SEO, PPC, social, email, and affiliate.
02
Approach

How we shaped the solution

We built an integrated 360° strategy: a single brand story, coherently delivered across all relevant channels. Every member of the Danco Vision team contributed to this project, from SEO and content to performance marketing and community management.

  • Complete SEO audit and keyword plan for the financial sector.
  • PPC setup with separate campaigns for awareness (Display) and conversion (Search).
  • Social media strategy for Facebook and Twitter, friendlier than the standard tone of an NBFI.
  • Retargeting layer to re-engage users who visit the site without converting.
  • Email marketing & newsletter automation for lifecycle.
  • Affiliate management on 2Performant to open an additional acquisition channel.
03
Solution

What we implemented

We delivered an end-to-end digital marketing package, with all channels coordinated under the same brand strategy. Each channel had its clear role in the funnel.

  • Ads for visibility — Google Display.
  • Ads for conversions — Google Search.
  • Facebook advertising with new messages, adapted to the NBFI audience.
  • Smart retargeting campaigns on Display and social.
  • On-page SEO optimization and relevant content for financial keywords.
  • Email marketing and newsletter automation.
  • Social media marketing on Facebook and Twitter.
  • Copywriting for the Credius blog.
  • Community management on Facebook.
  • Affiliate management on 2Performant.
  • Website product management — coordination with the Credius team for a complete flow.

  • The Facebook page has over 32,000 likes.
  • A recognized brand in the NBFI market in Romania.
  • Active 360° strategy, continuously optimized across all channels.

What we learned

3 lessons from this project

LESSON 01

In regulated markets, tone matters

An NBFI can speak in a friendly tone without losing credibility — the solution is the message, not just the channel.

LESSON 02

360° only works if coordinated

The "all-inclusive" package yields results only when SEO, PPC, social, email, and affiliate are aligned under the same strategy.

LESSON 03

Affiliate is an underestimated channel

For an NBFI, 2Performant opened up an additional acquisition stream that other channels could not reach as cost-effectively.
