Case Study:

Case Study: Filipino Community Outreach

  • Client: WorldRemit
  • Location: London, UK and Nordics
  • Project Name: Philippines Activation

Objective

WorldRemit aimed to engage the Filipino diaspora across the UK and Nordic regions, a community that is geographically dispersed and underrepresented in typical offline outreach. The goal was to raise awareness and trust in WorldRemit's online money transfer service, positioning it as a safer, more convenient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional in-person methods.

Mechanics

The Promota Africa designed a culturally intelligent, multi-location campaign rooted in deep community insight. Using culturally matched Filipino ambassadors, we executed direct outreach and event activations across areas with notable Filipino presence. We delivered educational messaging that resonated with the community's communication preferences and values. These were supported by printed materials, face-to-face explanations, and digital reinforcement to explain the benefits of online remittances. Events were tactically placed at community centres, churches, and Filipino social hubs.

Outcome

Over a one-month period, the campaign reached more than 7,000 Filipinos across the UK and Nordics. The authentic, face-to-face engagement approach built trust and credibility, driving increased interest and first-time usage of WorldRemit's digital service. Community members reported higher confidence in using online platforms after direct interaction with brand representatives.
