Objective
EBS established a social-selling ecosystem that delivered dramatic results for the business. By using the power of social media, content, and smart targeting EBS harnessed Facebook as a unique platform for generating hyper-local leads for first and next time buyers in the 26+ demographic in Ireland.

The innovative Lead Generation Network grew from a pilot into a lead generating platform in its own right, delivering a cost per acquisition that is less than half that of PPC, and substantially growing marketing share by delivering a substantial amount of all leads in 2016 via social.

Now the fastest growing bank on social, EBS has innovated how banks use Facebook as a platform for generating leads and integrating social selling into the blueprint for financial institutions in Ireland.
