Boost Successfully Drives Mobile App Growth with Consumer and Data Insights

The Challenge
With the increase of adoption of eWallets and consumers joining the #GoCashless bandwagon, the eWallet business space started to get competitive. Boost, Malaysia’s home-grown eWallet faced a similar challenge – How could Boost compete with more dominant market players, with almost 5 million users in their subscriber base?
Boost was in the third position and aimed to reach their target of 5 million users and to drive growth in Gross Transaction Value (GTV).
As every other brand was shouting the same key message, the challenge was to create a campaign that will meet their business objectives whilst also differentiating themselves from the competitors.
1. Build brand awareness and affinity
