CoinShares Launches 'Crypto Puppies' Campaign to Educate and Warm the Hearts of Swedish Investors
12th November 2024 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey—CoinShares International Limited ("CoinShares" or the "Company") (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's leading investment firm specialising in digital assets, today announced the launch of its unexpected yet heartwarming campaign, "CoinShares Crypto Puppies," aimed at educating Swedish investors about the benefits of digital assets and promoting its legacy Nordic product, CoinShares XBT Provider.
Following a recent conducted with Novus—which revealed that Swedish investors are falling behind in crypto adoption, with only 9% having ventured into crypto investments compared to the European average of 12%—CoinShares is taking proactive steps to bridge this gap.
Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO of CoinShares, commented:
“Swedes were once at the forefront of crypto investment, thanks to CoinShares XBT Provider's 2015 launch of the first crypto ETP with the support of Stockholm institutions. However, data indicates they are falling behind other Europeans, especially women. An unwarranted and repeated negative media coverage focusing on the industry's challenges could be an explanation.
As Sweden and Europe’s leading digital asset investment firm, we feel obliged to champion our industry. Our 'Crypto Puppies' campaign aims to educate Swedish investors about crypto's benefits through positive associations.”
The CoinShares Crypto Puppies campaign, created by the Swedish agency Save our Souls, leverages a unique cultural insight: Swedes' profound love for dogs. Based on insurance statistics, Swedes seem to be more invested in their relationships with their dogs than those in other Nordic countries; 90% of Swedish dog owners have their pets insured, topping global charts. Sweden boasts some of the strictest animal welfare laws globally, reflecting a high societal value placed on animal life and well-being. Swedes even rate their dogs as better comforters than their partners. By tapping into this deep-seated affinity, the campaign seeks to create an unexpected yet heartwarming connection with crypto and foster a more nuanced discussion. This integrated campaign will run for over a month, featuring digital videos, billboard ads, print ads in prominent financial magazines, wild postings, and influencer partnerships.
“Getting people to reconsider something they instinctively dislike is a challenging communication task,” says Olle Langseth, creative at Save Our Souls. “But what happens if they receive information about something they don’t like, while looking at something they do like? Only time will tell.”
