SoFi Brand Social

Let’s talk money.

As creative oversight on SoFi’s social channels, we’ve produced a lot of fun stuff over the years. We’ve rewarded fans of Taylor Swift (and Beyonce, and the LA Rams, and the LA Chargers, and the NBA…) with money to drop in their SoFi accounts and put toward their financial ambitions. We’ve asked NFL rookies about how they’re going to spend their first paychecks. And we’ve reminded everyone time after time that we are not only the name of a stadium.

 
 

One of my favorite things to do? Give away money and VIP experiences to our deserving members.

Luckily, this format is also is some of our best-performing content on TikTok and Instagram Reels, with each video averaging hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of views. It also allows us to insert ourselves into timely moments, provide the viewer some financial knowledge they may not have had, garner positive sentiment about our brand — and from an executional standpoint, we can rinse and repeat our successful production playbook for future events.

 
 

Note: please be patient; sometimes embedded video from TikTok can take some time to load!

@sofi #stitch with @pnwfitswiftie Presale for the @Taylor Swift Eras tour @SoFi Stadium is almost live… but this year, #swiftmas came early. Can’t wait to see you there Kimberly!

@sofi We’re all about helping our members get their money right to achieve their ambitions. We know that some peeps couldn’t cover Taylor tickets without giving up on other financial goals…so we did something about it 😝 Does your bank make your bucket list happen? You can achieve all your ambitions, all in one app. Link in bio to become a member. #taylorswift #swifttok #swiftie #erastour #LAErasTour #SoFi #SoFiMembers #emoney #bestnightever ♬ Ding (bell sound) - Shiarah
 
 

We’ve ideated concepts that work in both long-form and short-form. Our Money Draft with the Rams Rookies has been an instant favorite for how the viewer can both witness some early-stage stars talk about their juicy money habits, while dreaming big about their own money fantasies.

 
 
 
 

We’ve also produced social-first video specifically made for high-visibility ad placements on TikTok like TopView, featuring celebrities like Jimmy O. Yang and Sarah Hyland.

 
 
 
 

And even when there isn’t the promise of a few hundred dollars or some celebrity cameos, we still have fun day-to-day… even when working in money, responsible finance habits, and how SoFi can help you get your money right.

@sofi Major events like the Eras Tour can boost a city’s economy and create localized inflation–also known as Tourflation. Taylor isn’t the only artist or event to cause this effect, we’ve also seen it with Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour and sporting events we aren’t legally allowed to mention by name 😉 #taylorswift #swifttok #swiftie #swifties #theerastour #LAErasTour #moneynews #SoFi #inflation #money ♬ original sound - SoFi
@sofi Are you still buzzing around, looking for tickets to see The Renaissance World Tour at SoFi Stadium? Comment with the Beyoncé track that best represents the state of your finances. Maybe we’ll pick a few of our favorites. 👀 #renaissancetour #sofistadium #beyonce #beyhive #renaissancesworldtour #finance #moneytips ♬ original sound - SoFi
