Social media
Cash App grows through peer-to-peer payments and converts those users to its debit card, per one analysis. SoFi cross-sells across financial services and holds its own bank charter, while Chime partners with banks. Analysts say Chime won early with direct deposit and everyday spending for lower-income users, while SoFi and Robinhood chase the next layer of wallet share.
- Borrow Starbucks' people-first approach: let members share 'my first early paycheck' stories as an episodic UGC series.
- Cash App recruits through the recipient of a payment, so a sender-driven invite flow in Chime could copy that loop.
- Cut the celebrity shoots into a short-form series so the in-house team's work runs well beyond TV and launch week.
What has in-house creative changed about speed and cost compared with agencies?
How do you measure brand lift against enrollments for celebrity campaigns?
Heads up. Most figures come from Chime, its agencies or trade write-ups, not independent audits. I found no consolidated 2026 campaign ROI data, and I ignored a vendor 'AI visibility' index as unverified.
