The details.

Plum
“Improv” your finances
The brief

Prompt urban Millennials to reconnect with their finances by giving them a compelling reason to take action.

How we made positive change

We knew our target audience had financial means, but had been marred by a unique set of economic circumstances – from Covid to student debt. With studies showing humour can be used to tackle taboo topics by making them seem less threatening, we challenged Mark Simmons, one of the UK’s most talented comedians, to create an entire comedy set with the aim of making people see the funny in money. As well as our “Improv” Your Finances jokebook we took to the streets to do guerilla gigs to unexpected members of the public.
