Challenge
Paid search cost per lead too high to scale Demat acquisition.
Pocketful needed first-time investors ready to open a Demat account. Search networks charge premium CPL for financial intent — creator channels reached the same audience at a fraction of the lead cost.
01
Search CPL too high to scale Demat acquisition
Google Search delivered intent but at a cost that made unit economics unsustainable for a free-to-open account.
02
New investors don't trust new platforms
First-time traders need peer reassurance — an ad from an unknown brand doesn't move them to open an account.
03
Demat product requires step-by-step education
The concept of a free Demat account, live prices, and zero brokerage needs explanation, not just a headline.
04
FinTech category has high invalid click rate
Lead brokers and competitor bots inflate click counts on financial keywords — wasting budget with fake intent.
Solution
Finance creators who opened their own account on camera.
First-investor finance creator matching
Creators documenting their own investment journey — audiences at exactly the moment of considering a Demat account.
Account opening walkthrough content
Creators opened their own Pocketful account on camera — demystifying the process and proving the zero-cost claim.
Highest FinTech click validity on the network
95% valid click rate — every fraudulent click from lead brokers and bot networks blocked before billing.
Cost per Demat intent — fraction of search rates
4.3× cheaper than Google Search for the same financial intent audience — proven across the campaign.

Google Search was giving us clicks from people comparing every Demat platform. Popbrain's finance creators gave us leads who already understood our product — and at ₹1.40 CPL, we scaled immediately.
