Moneymax Hailed Marketing Excellence Awards Bronze Winner

Manila, Philippines – February 2022. For empowering Filipinos to be financially healthy and resilient amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Moneymax was hailed the Bronze winner in the Content Marketing category at the Marketing Excellence Awards.

An independent judging panel composed of high-caliber, senior industry experts from reputable brands selected the awardees for 2021. Winners were announced in a virtual awards ceremony^[1] held last January 28.

The Marketing Excellence Awards is a prestigious awards program that celebrates, recognizes, and rewards outstanding marketing campaigns in the Philippines.^[2] It is the premier platform for marketers to showcase their creative excellence, successful strategies, and effective delivery.

Moneymax Co-General Manager Munmun Nath said: “Making it as a finalist in our category—alongside highly esteemed brands like GMA Network and Ayala Malls—is already a huge honor for our team. Even more, bagging one of the top awards motivates us to strive hard to help Filipinos lead healthier financial lives through informative, engaging, and inspiring content.”

Helping Filipinos Achieve Financial Wellness During COVID-19

Marketing Excellence Awards | Build Your Financial Wellness During the Pandemic Campaign

Moneymax’s win is for the campaign “Build Your Financial Wellness During the Pandemic,” addressing two key challenges consumers face: lack of financial literacy and anxiety due to debt.

Data from the latest Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Financial Inclusion Survey^[3] revealed that financial literacy remains low in the Philippines. This makes it difficult for Filipinos to cope with COVID-19’s financial impact, the BSP noted.^[4]

Moreover, managing debt was a struggle for 70% of Filipinos during the pandemic, found a study by Forrester Consulting.^[5] Filipinos were the most stressed in the Asia Pacific region about their financial situation.

With these pain points in mind, Moneymax launched its content marketing campaign focusing on “pandepreneurship”—publishing articles that educate Filipinos on how they can earn more income amid unemployment, business loss, and other financial woes arising from the pandemic.

On the Moneymax blog, for instance, aspiring and existing small business owners can read articles on pandemic-proof business ideas, success stories of entrepreneurs and car owners who turned pandemic challenges into opportunities, and business financing options for MSMEs.

For borrowers struggling to pay off their debts because of the pandemic, Moneymax started a consumer loan educational series consisting of in-depth guides on how to get out of debt on a low income and how borrowers can protect themselves against illegal lending practices, among others.

Moneymax also organized Facebook live streaming events in 2021 to help its followers navigate their financial wellness through the new normal. These live events allowed people to ask questions and get answers from top leaders and experts in the finance industry on getting a credit card online, digital banking, and achieving financial independence.
