Creator highlights:
ā FPV visuals with 99% hold rates
ā A viral āWhatās in my bagā hitting 7.2% CTR
ā YouTube storytelling with 72% completion

Micro-creators didnāt just review Gregory, they lived it. And it paid off.

⨠3.4M+ impressions (5à the goal!)
⨠~200K engagements
⨠13K+ shares, 5K+ saves
⨠80% positive vibes in the comments
⨠Showing up in Googleās new Short Videos tab (yes, even for ācredit buildingā)
⨠Brand searches + mentions way up š
From viral Office Girlie skits to honest budgeting stories, creators helped Self show up as a trusted voice. Proof that when financial education feels human, it performs.
Big love to Self Financial + every creator who made this campaign what it is. š
