​

To increase ad reach and frequency, iM Bank selected Direct Ad products displayed on high traffic areas of the WEBTOON app, including the main page and episode viewing page.

The promotion’s scheme was also refined to be more intuitive, which resulted in a 45% month-over-month increase in CTR!

​

​

​

Additionally, iM Bank expanded its reach through the “WEBTOON Special DA,” which leverages the peak-traffic time slots on WEBTOON.

​

By utilizing key marketing channels, including the WEBTOON platform, the campaign achieved a high engagement rate, leading to early cookie redemption. Following the campaign’s success, we are planning additional events. 😺

​

​

Given the nature of the financial industry, users were required to complete identity verification to participate in the campaign, which posed as a significant participation barrier.

​

Despite this barrier, the campaign successfully drew enthusiastic responses from WEBTOON users. 🍪
