Rapid Finance, a leader in online financial services, provides flexible funding solutions to small and medium-sized businesses. With over $2 billion in financing delivered across the nation, Rapid Finance needed a way to reduce its dependency on third-party lead providers and build an internally-driven, sustainable marketing strategy. Stringo Media stepped in to help diversify their marketing efforts and optimize performance through a comprehensive paid media program.

The Challenge

Rapid Finance was heavily reliant on third-party lead providers for customer acquisition, which limited their ability to scale and adapt quickly to market changes. This dependency increased costs and constrained their ability to drive leads efficiently. The challenge was to build a self-sustaining marketing program that would give Rapid Finance full control over its lead generation efforts while reducing costs and improving scalability.

"Stringo Media has been a game-changer for us. Their strategic insights and data-driven approach helped us build an internal marketing engine that not only reduced our reliance on external lead providers but also significantly lowered our costs. We are excited about the growth this partnership has enabled."
