Online home loan challenger brand Athena has appointed data science-led marketing agency Jaywing to deliver a full-service digital acquisition strategy across the Australian market.
After a highly successful launch of Athena Home Loans in February 2019, the scope of the engagement has expanded from search to full digital media services underpinned by their data offering.
Jaywing’s team will be driving strategy, planning and execution across Athena’s SEM, SEO, paid social, display, and will be responsible for driving new customer acquisitions across these channels.
Commenting on the appointment, Jaywing managing director Chris Pittham (main photo) said: ‘’Athena is a fantastic and innovative challenger brand that is disrupting the industry by actively helping their customer to pay off their home loans faster.
