Overview

JG Wentworth, a household name in structured settlements, faced the challenge of diversifying into the highly competitive debt relief sector. Despite their massive brand equity, they needed a specialized digital creative strategy to successfully launch and scale this new service. The primary hurdles were high industry competition and stringent ad approval regulations. We implemented our social creative framework, focusing on high-volume short-form video and static image testing to find winning hooks. By taking over TikTok ad buying and managing the creative iterations weekly, we aimed to build a performance engine that turned brand recognition into direct response leads.

Results

  • The project was an immense success, scaling the debt relief business to over $25M in revenue within just a few years. Our creative consistently outperformed engagement benchmarks, and our Cost Per Lead (CPL) remained 20% lower than the industry average. To navigate the complex regulatory environment of financial services, we worked in close coordination with platform representatives to ensure all creative was compliant while still maximizing performance. This rigorous testing approach on both paid and organic social allowed us to identify high-converting messaging that resonated with consumers seeking debt solutions, fueling rapid, sustainable growth.
  • Conclusion

    Successfully launching a new service for an established brand requires a balance of existing authority and fresh, platform-specific creative. By focusing on a high-cadence testing framework and maintaining tight compliance standards, we proved that even a legacy brand can dominate a new category like TikTok. The 20% improvement in CPL provided the efficiency needed to scale the division to eight figures quickly. This partnership highlights that in sensitive financial markets, the combination of proactive platform relations and a relentless creative flywheel is the key to breaking through industry noise and achieving massive scale.
