Australia – Australian cashback network Cashrewards has appointed Jaywing, a marketing and creative agency that is data-driven to handle its acquisition and retention mandate, and intended to improve organic search engine optimization, content production, and link acquisition techniques.

Following an evaluation process, Cashrewards has teamed with Jaywing to pursue its three-year growth goal. The goal is to increase customer acquisition and retention efforts, reinvigorate and optimize Cashrewards’ SEO, and reduce reliance on sponsored acquisition. Jaywing will also be in charge of creating interesting content and improving the performance of the mobile app.

Mitchell Steep, growth lead at Cashrewards said, “We have ambitious plans to maintain our lead in the cashback category and a key element of that is supercharging our SEO and content. Jaywing demonstrated a clear understanding of our objectives and presented solutions that will deliver for the business. Their experience in working with major retail brands including Myer, New Balance and Athena Home Loans and deep UX capabilities were the key reasons why we appointed them. We’re delighted to welcome Jaywing to the Cashrewards agency village, joining Poem who look after PR, brand amplification and social strategy and Zenith Media, who manage our media strategy and planning.”

Meanwhile, Rai Campbell, commercial director at Jaywing, added, “The cashback category is growing rapidly, up 20 percent year on year, but market penetration in Australia remains in single figures compared to other countries such as the US and UK. The potential to attract new members to Cashrewards is significant and with a clear strategic vision and roadmap of success, we look forward to working with the team to deliver on their ambitious plans.”

Australia – Retail e-commerce company Cashrewards has launched its biggest season marketing campaign, including a new creative that features content queens SketchShe, which will be all delivered end-to-end by its in-house creative team. 

Called ‘Happy Dayz’, the campaign aims to celebrate the unique sense of excitement as the nation enters the first key shopping season since the pandemic, with ‘dayz’ referencing the key seasonal shopping days, such as Black Friday, Cyber weekend, Christmas, Boxing Day, and the New Year Sales.

Through the campaign, Cashrewards has tapped SketchShe to bring their signature inventive wit and energy to the creative. It will run across BVOD, YouTube, social, and advertorial, as well as digital display, and outdoor.

Matthew Poulier, Cashrewards’ head of brand, noted that their biggest ever campaign combines with a record media spend to maximize the most important quarter of the year at a time where pent-up demand is at an all-time high.

He further shared that as the nation emerges from lockdown, the ‘Happy Dayz’ campaign taps into the mood of celebration as Australia gears up to celebrate the joy of summer freedom. 

“Cashrewards is growing fast with more than one million members geared up to reward our merchant partners for the incredible program of cashback offers they have programmed throughout the key seasonal shopping period. I’m particularly proud of the Cashrewards in-house creative team for delivering such an outstanding campaign from end-to-end,” said Poulier.

During the campaign, shoppers will see brands such as Myer, Big W, Catch, Liquorland, and Booking.com, as well as Expedia, and Bonds, among others, active on the platform.
