For marketing leads in the financial services sector, you know marketing isn't just about generating clicks, it's about building trust. A single misstep in compliance can erode your credibility, and failing to engage your niche audience can leave your brand behind. It's a high-stakes game that demands precision, creativity, and results.

Our client, Mitsui Bussan Commodities, is a global leader in trading energy commodities. They chose to partner with us because their digital presence was not aligned with their market position and growth plans. The brand struggled with an outdated website with poor user experience, which could not overcome compliance hurdles. They needed a solution to elevate their brand and deliver tangible results in a complex, competitive landscape.

  • Navigate strict compliance regulations:
    Operating in EU and non-EU regions meant seamlessly juggling GDPR and other regulatory frameworks. Failure to comply could damage both reputation and operations.
  • Engage a diverse, highly specific audience:
    Mitsui's clients, spanning financial professionals and institutional investors, required precise, value-driven content tailored to their unique needs.
  • Fix an outdated, clunky user experience:
    Their website no longer reflected the sophistication of their business. Key resources like daily financial reports were buried, and users exited before finding what they needed.

The Solution: A Tailored Digital Strategy

Here's how Fingo helped Mitsui turn these challenges into opportunities driving measurable results. Our approach was simple. We addressed every challenge with precision and creativity. For Mitsui, we created a high-performing platform designed to deliver results.

1. Compliance Without Compromise

At the heart of the project was a solution that could meet strict regulatory requirements without disrupting the user experience. We built a site that dynamically adapts to user locations, ensuring GDPR compliance for EU visitors while providing tailored content for non-EU audiences.

2. Personalised Content for Global Audiences

Understanding Mitsui's audience was key. We integrated a system that easily made daily financial reports, market insights, and other key content accessible. This wasn't just about functionality, it was about creating an experience where users quickly found exactly what they needed.

3. Elevating Visibility with SEO

Finance audiences are notoriously hard to target, but our SEO strategy focuses on elevating rankings and visibility- which in turn supports brand awareness and trust By identifying and optimising for high-value keywords, we ensured Mitsui ranked where it mattered. Every aspect of the site, from metadata to site structure, was optimised to connect with their audience.

4. A Modern, User-Centric Redesign

We overhauled Mitsui's site to reflect the sophistication of their brand. Clean navigation, intuitive layouts, and engaging calls-to-action turned the website into a powerful tool that worked as hard as their team.

The Results: Transforming Performance

The impact of our work wasn't just visible, it was measurable.

  • 119% growth in new users year-on-year:
    The new platform expanded Mitsui's reach, unlocking untapped audiences in key markets.
  • 24% higher engagement rates:
    Visitors spent more time on the site, interacting with key content and finding value in the experience.
  • 80% surge in clicks:
    With optimised pathways and targeted messaging, Mitsui's content is connected with the right people at the right time.

These results were proof of a digital strategy that delivered on every promise.
