Sharesies
The branded content channel for a New Zealand/Australian investment app, using its executives to host various formats demystifying finance.
This is a sophisticated branded content channel for the Sharesies investment app. It operates like a magazine-style network, featuring multiple 'shows' under one banner—topical market analysis, live event recordings, and educational primers. The content is explicitly designed to build trust and onboard users to its platform by using its own leadership as hosts and experts.
“Unlike single-host finance commentary shows, Sharesies uses its own executives and a rotating cast of internal experts as presenters, creating a direct-from-the-source feel. Its formats are unusually varied, from live-on-location panels at agricultural expos to in-studio market analysis of major IPOs.”
