Challenge & Strategy

The strategy and creative execution elevate and differentiate the Shojin brand, aligning to its target audience – investors looking for opportunities with higher returns. 

Shojin invests alongside retail investors, without charging fees, who get paid first–this is shared opportunity investing.

This model is more aligned to people’s interests, versus traditional investment scenarios, resulting in higher returns and minimised investment risk for investors. This approach led to the value proposition – ‘Shared opportunities, exceptional outcomes.’

Creative

Shojin operates in a sector with many similar products but it generates higher returns for its investors, this is 'The Shojin Way'.

Leveraging this, the strategic solution shifts the focus to how Shojin is different to its competitors’ products, which lies in its unique co-investing model–Shojin is truly ‘Next Level Investing’. This concept of 'next level' is applied to all touchpoints to define its differentiation. It is expressed through elevated typography (with angled cuts within the letter forms) and the visual system is cloud inspired, so everything is always 'above the clouds'.
