Project story

TapTapSend

Trust travelled through voices the diaspora already knew.TIMA used Kenyan diaspora creators to explain TapTapSend’s zero-fee, fast-transfer proposition across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.

The assignment

What had to move.

Client

A clear starting point.

TapTapSend is a financial technology product for international money transfer and remittance.

Objective

The business job.

Increase awareness, trust and product consideration among Kenyans living abroad who already relied on familiar but more expensive or slower remittance habits.

Challenge → response

The work begins with the problem.

Challenge

Money transfer depends on confidence. A new option needed more than a feature list—it needed credible explanation from people who understood the experience of sending money home.

TIMA’s response

TIMA selected diaspora voices across lifestyle, family, travel, beauty, personal finance and advocacy, then used action-oriented creator content to explain the product benefits.

Campaign system

How it was built.

  1. 01

    Start with lived context

    The campaign spoke to the practical experience of sending money home rather than treating remittance as an abstract financial product.

  2. 02

    Explain the value clearly

    Creator content focused on zero fees, competitive rates and transfer speed.

  3. 03

    Use a multi-format publisher mix

    Instagram, TikTok and YouTube provided different combinations of trust, demonstration, repetition and reach.

  4. 04

    Measure response

    The public report tracks creator following, reach, views, engagement and a campaign conversion rate.

Public campaign evidence

What the evidence says

The useful lesson.

Trust is the first conversion

Before asking for action, the campaign made the product legible through people who shared the audience’s context.

Different creator roles broaden credibility

Finance voices explained the proposition while lifestyle, family and travel creators made it feel part of real life.

Diaspora is not one audience

The campaign addressed people across multiple destination markets rather than flattening them into one generic segment.
