Wells Fargo registered a 2.1-point improvement in its Ad Awareness scores in August to claim YouGov’s Finance Ad of the Month.
Wells Fargo released a campaign to advertise its new Active Cash Credit Card in mid-July, highlighting the sturdy build of the card and the fact that it offers an unlimited 2% cashback on purchases.
One of the ads features seven-time Olympic gold medallist Katie Ledecky. The 30-second spot shows the swimmer develop a new interest in archery, which she fuels by purchasing archery gear through her Active Cash card.
The credit card-arm of the Wells Fargo brand had an Ad Awareness score of 8.8 on August 2, which rose to 10.9 at the end of the month. Ad Awareness is a YouGov BrandIndex metric which measures the percentage of consumers who have watched a brand’s ad in the last two weeks.
