MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


BBVA Compass hopes to net new clients via basketball game app

Bank BBVA Compass launched a basketball-themed mobile gaming application aimed at spurring social media engagement to drive brand awareness and build client relationships.

The Platypi co-developed app, BBVA Hoops, is part of the bank’s embrace of a digital-first strategy. While businesses have used mobile gamification for some time, BBVA Compass is setting itself apart from the bank pack, by using a game to boost engagement.

“Mobile is an important part of our work to transform ourselves into a bank that thinks digital first,” said Jorge Moller, consumer segment digital director for BBVA Compass. “This app helps us create interactions with clients beyond our branches and traditional digital channels. It helps drive awareness and brand visibility with potential clients,” he said.

“It’s very valuable for us to be able to use social media platforms as a way to connect with new clients and build relationships. It’s a great way to encourage more people to share their experiences with us and increase our digital exposure,” he said.
