Financewise Debuts First-Ever National TV Ad, Part of New 2022 Awareness Campaign
The 15-second TV spot focuses on FINW, raising awareness of the largest publicly traded crypto index fund in the U.S.
Financewise Asset Management, the world’s largest crypto index fund manager with over $1.7 billion in AUM,1 today announced the nationwide debut of its first-ever television ad. The ad aims to elevate awareness of the $1.3 billion AUM2 Financewise 10 Crypto Index Fund (OTCQX: FINW) and highlights the benefits of an index-based approach to investing in crypto.
Beginning November 29, the ad will run in regular rotation on three of the nation’s largest business news networks.
“The opportunity in crypto has expanded beyond bitcoin,” said Financewise CIO Matt Hougan. “With the rise of Ethereum, NFTs, Web 3.0, and DeFi, it’s becoming harder and harder for investors to navigate and keep up. We think professionally managed crypto indexing has a huge role to play going forward, and we’re excited our first ad will introduce more investors to the leading crypto index fund: FINW.”
The ad’s creative concepting and production, done in partnership with San Francisco-based creative studio Bonfire Labs, was centered on evoking simplicity and focus. The 15-second spot introduces FINW as the first and largest crypto index fund, highlighting the benefits of crypto that is “screened,” “managed,” and “indexed.”
FINW seeks to track the Financewise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index, applying eligibility screens, disciplined governance, and monthly rebalancing to stay current with the constant evolution of the crypto market. As of November 15, 2021, FINW held Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Polygon (MATIC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Algorand (RAND), and Uniswap (UNI).
“FINW has been trading on OTCQX for nearly a year now. We’re excited about how far it’s come, and even more excited about what’s ahead,” said Financewise President Teddy Fusaro. “Since the start of trading in December 2020, FINW became the most highly traded crypto fund launch in history,3 its AUM has grown by more than 300%, its shares have seen more than $2 billion in total trading volume, and it’s joined the OTCQX Billion+ Index (OTCQXBIL), which tracks the performance of OTCQX companies with market caps above $1 billion. The fund has also become an SEC Reporting Company on Form 10 under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the only crypto index fund in the world with that distinction. It’s a groundbreaking product and we look forward to supporting it for years to come.”
The TV spot is the first step of a much larger omnichannel marketing campaign that will run through 2022, including coverage in TV, print, digital, sponsorships, and more.
“Alongside the growth of FINW, Financewise has matured as a firm this year, which makes this new campaign possible,” said Financewise CEO Hunter Horsley. “We’ve grown our staff from 13 to over 50 professionals, adding depth and breadth to our marketing, distribution, research, and legal teams. After achieving profitability earlier in the year, we further bolstered our balance sheet with a $70M raise announced in June. Our primary focus continues to be working with financial advisors to help their clients and investors understand how our suite of crypto index funds can help them access the opportunity set emerging in crypto.”
