The task

Sixty years is a massive deal. dfcu Bank, one of Uganda's oldest and most impactful financial institutions, was turning 60. They needed the internet to feel it. Not a press release. Not a corporate video. A real, living, breathing moment that Uganda would talk about. They called NextCom.

The approach

We didn't announce the anniversary. We engineered a conversation. Warm the internet up before the reveal, then drop it in a way that connected dots, built pride and made a legacy institution feel completely alive in 2024.

What we did

Started with a Conversation Starter, a social post seeded organically to spark curiosity without giving the game away. Then Cross-Platform Amplification across Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, key influencers, content breathing naturally, authentic not salesy. Then the Reveal: a video drop that connected the dots. To close the loop, NilePost ran the article. Media. Social. All synchronised.

Results.

  • Reach: 714,000+

  • Engagement: 2,400+

  • User Generated Content: 1,407+ pieces

  • Ad Value Equivalent: $72,160

Next case

A bank that finally spoke the language of its customers. Digitally. Authentically. All year.
