Philosophy | A series of shady Internet figures are out to fleece unsuspecting victims in a humorous and visually appealing new spot promoting the digital currency trading platform Coinsquare. Directed by The Perlorian Brothers, the 30-second spot from Toronto-based creative agency The Garden imagines the world of digital currency trading as a seedy speakeasy. Viewers are led into a dimly lit space populated by a cast of online ne’er do-wells, including Nigerian princes and hoodie-clad hackers using voice disguisers – all of whom claim they can help novice digital currency investors. The spot concludes by recommending Coinsquare, accompanied by a super that reads “Invest with pros. Not cons.” There are more than 1,300 digital currencies worldwide, but growing interest in the space has led to consumer confusion about how it works and how to differentiate between legitimate and respected traders and scammers. Established in 2015, Coinsquare is one of Canada’s largest digital currency trading platforms, with more than 100,000 customers and one of the world’s most secure trading platforms. Earlier this year, the company announced that it had closed a $30 million funding round led by Canaccord Genuity Corp that will be used to fuel a global growth plan and diversification strategy aimed at making the platform more responsive to the needs of mainstream customers. The campaign from The Garden is among the first by a digital currency trading platform to target mainstream investors. |
