FOOT-THING (PEZINHO)

Nubank - Foot-Thing (Pezinho) (Case Study) | Campaign Building on the success of "Wednesday" and with its second season approaching, Nubank - the second largest bank in Brazil - identified a unique opportunity to blend pop culture with finance. Rather than using the same elements that brands that were trying to associate themselves with the series were doing, we took a bolder approach: a spin-off featuring an original character inspired by common money-related sayings. Meet Foot-thing: The one who helps people kick-start their financial journey, take the next step, and start investing on the right foot. Our spin-off showed how, inspired by Thing and with a little help from Nubank, Foot-thing rose to fame and became a financial influencer, sharing practical money tips through foot-based expressions like “investing on the right foot”, “keep your feet on the ground when you spend” and “get your finances on solid footing”. Visually, the campaign fused Nubank’s signature purple with Wednesday’s gothic aesthetic, creating a clear, cohesive link between Foot-thing, Nubank, and the series. Foot-thing was a hit. Our campaign achieved outstanding results, validating Nubank's innovative strategy to bridge pop culture and financial education - proving that a playful, culturally relevant approach can drive engagement, demystify investing, and position Nubank as the go-to bank for consumers’ next financial steps.
