Avant Money Launches Fast, Modern Mortgage Campaign

Avant Money's New "Advantage: You" Campaign Targets Irish Homebuyers

In the wake of increasing competition within the Irish mortgage market, Avant Money, a Spanish-owned financial services company, has launched a bold new campaign to make a strong statement. Since entering the market earlier this year, Avant Money has been looking to distinguish itself from other financial institutions, and with the recent intensification of competition, the company has unveiled its first through-the-line consumer campaign, “Advantage: You.”

The goal of the campaign is clear: to emphasize Avant Money's ability to offer customers faster, more accessible mortgages while ensuring a seamless, digital-first experience. With a focus on speed, efficiency, and modernity, this campaign presents Avant Money as a forward-thinking, customer-friendly alternative to traditional banks in a highly competitive mortgage landscape.

A Campaign Designed to Stand Out

The creative direction behind the “Advantage: You” campaign was handled by Dynamo, a well-regarded agency known for crafting engaging and relevant campaigns. The campaign utilizes a mix of media, including Out of Home (OOH), commuter media, social media, and display ads, to ensure it reaches a broad audience across both digital and physical spaces.

In an environment where potential homebuyers are constantly bombarded with advertising, Avant Money needed to craft a message that both caught attention and resonated with consumers. The “Advantage: You” campaign stands out by positioning Avant Money as the brand that offers a competitive edge without bogging down customers in bureaucracy and long waits. Instead, Avant Money promises a faster, simpler, and more efficient process.

Old vs. New: A Modern, Digital-First Approach

One of the most striking aspects of this campaign is its visual and sound design, which employs an old vs. new theme to draw attention to the differences between traditional mortgage providers and Avant Money’s more innovative approach. The design contrasts outdated elements—such as clunky typefaces, slow-moving visuals, and traditional sound effects—with modern, streamlined graphics and bolder, more energetic audio. This not only highlights Avant Money’s digital-first offering but also sets a modern tone that appeals to younger, tech-savvy customers who seek quick, easy solutions.

According to the agency, this creative approach was deliberate: "We wanted to show how outdated the traditional mortgage experience feels, especially when compared to the fresh, efficient alternatives that Avant Money brings to the table. The contrast in visuals and sounds is meant to create an immediate impact and convey the message of modernization,” explains the creative team at Dynamo.

Putting the Customer First

While many mortgage campaigns focus on the technical details of financial products, Avant Money’s campaign takes a more customer-centric approach. The focus is not just on the mortgage itself but on the experience that comes with securing it. By emphasizing the ease and speed of the process, the campaign taps into the emotions that homebuyers experience—excitement, relief, and the joy of purchasing their first home.

“We wanted to be real with people and acknowledge that the market is highly competitive, but without leaving them feeling down about it,” shares Sean Timbs, Senior Copywriter at Dynamo. “Instead of putting them in the long queues and paperwork avalanches, we show that there are actually real, attainable ways the brand gives them an Advantage. Buying your home should still be a great moment in life, and that’s the feeling we wanted to leave them with."

The campaign aims to shift the focus from the typical stress and confusion that come with purchasing a home to the positive emotions of homeownership. By doing so, Avant Money is positioning itself not just as a provider of mortgages, but as a partner that makes the home-buying process easier and more enjoyable.

Reaching a Broad Audience

With a diverse media mix, Avant Money’s campaign ensures it reaches customers where they spend their time. The OOH placements give visibility to the campaign in high-traffic areas, such as bus and train stations, where commuters can see and engage with the message. The use of commuter media and social media further enhances the campaign’s reach, targeting both traditional and digital audiences.

The campaign is designed to be adaptable across various platforms, ensuring that the message is delivered in a way that resonates with both tech-savvy millennials and more traditional audiences who may still rely on physical billboards and print ads. This versatility speaks to Avant Money’s commitment to meeting its customers wherever they are in their home-buying journey.

Avant Money’s Strategy for Growth

The “Advantage: You” campaign is more than just an advertising effort; it’s a strategic move to strengthen Avant Money’s position in the increasingly crowded Irish mortgage market. By focusing on speed, simplicity, and a modern approach to the mortgage process, Avant Money is appealing to a broad demographic of potential homebuyers who value efficiency and convenience.

As Avant Money continues to grow its presence in Ireland, campaigns like this are likely to play a crucial role in differentiating the brand from its competitors. With an engaging message and a customer-first approach, Avant Money is setting itself up for continued success in a market where speed and simplicity are key.
