Sycamore Nigeria
Community, growth, marketing and programme development for a financial services brand building trust at scale.
- Engagement
- Community, growth & marketing
- Focus
- Programmes, content, advocacy
- Outcome
- An engaged base, not just an audience
The situation
In financial services, attention is easy to buy and trust is not. Sycamore needed relationships with users that outlasted any single campaign.
Marketing and community were running as separate efforts rather than as one engine feeding the other.
What we did
- Designed community programmes with a clear purpose, cadence and owner.
- Built content and marketing systems that pull from real user stories instead of generic promotion.
- Created advocacy loops so existing users introduce new ones.
- Connected growth targets to community activity, so engagement was measured, not assumed.
The result
Community stopped being a side channel and became part of how growth happens — with warmer acquisition and stronger retention.
Programming now runs on a repeatable calendar rather than depending on bursts of energy.
