Plus500, the global multi-asset fintech group, has launched an international advertising campaign starring Kiefer Sutherland, the Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor, director and singer-songwriter, to elevate its international brand profile amongst the fast-growing trading community.
While Plus500 already spends heavily on online advertising, the new campaign is its biggest investment to date in building its brand and expanding its audience. The advertising has been developed over the past six months by McCann Tech, the technology-focused agency of McCann Worldwide, and uses Sutherland to convey three important features of Plus500鈥檚 trading platform: it鈥檚 trustworthy, easy to use and offers traders useful market insights.
The campaign marks a significant milestone in the growth of Plus500, which listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2013 and is a member of the FTSE250 index of leading companies. The campaign centres on the idea of 鈥淭rading with a Plus,鈥� highlighting the market-leading mobile app that helps customers with information and insights, no matter the extent of their trading experience. With educational materials, risk management tools, and 24-hour customer support, Plus500 allows traders to enhance the skills and confidence they need to navigate a wide variety of market conditions.
Kiefer Sutherland said:
鈥淚 am excited to be leading the new global campaign for Plus500, one of the world鈥檚 top financial trading platforms. The team at Plus500 have been great partners to work with, and I had a lot of fun shooting the ad with McCann Tech.鈥�
