Ground Floor – IPO Video

raise $4.2M, expand nationaly, & revolutionize lending 

PROBLEM & OPPORTUNITY

The Lending Revolution

For decades, investing in property remained an antiquated non-digital process, and construction lending was restricted to the accredited wealthy. Groundfloor is a first-of-its-kind crowdfunding platform, creating investment opportunities for non-accredited investors and independent builders. 

In 2018, Groundfloor planned to expand nationally with an online IPO goal of $1M. Their marketing team was lean, with a typically tight ‘startup’ budget, but they needed video to increase the effectiveness of the IPO.

SOLUTION & STRATEGY

Short-term + Long-term

Marshall consulted with their campaign lead to understand not just their IPO goals, but also their overall growth strategy. They needed a video strategy that could accomplish three things:

  • increase IPO performance
  • further lender-builder marketing
  • assist with strategic relationships

Designed for anyone unfamiliar with Groundfloor, this deeper-funnel video provides background and vision. It built trust and persuaded investors through proof-points, value propositions, and metrics.
