The Challenge

  • A fintech company dedicated to improving financial literacy through gamification and in-app engagement aimed to expand its presence and traction in the UK market.
  • Initially focused on a B2C strategy, Doshi recognised greater revenue potential by white-labelling their app and pursuing alternative market channels, targeting financial institutions like building societies that showed strong demand for financial education solutions.
  • With limited experience in B2B propositions, the company sought to refine its strategy and strengthen market positioning, focusing on developing a business model that accounted for operational costs while ensuring a faster ROI and maintaining profit margins.

How Woodhurst Helped

  • Market Assessment: Woodhurst collaborated with Doshi through the SHIFT+ programme to conduct an in-depth analysis of their target market, facilitating a strategic pivot from B2C to B2B. We developed a targeted approach to engage financial institutions, including mutuals, neo-banks, and lending providers, identifying opportunities to integrate the fintech’s offerings into existing apps and tools seamlessly.
  • Proposition Development: Woodhurst supported the enhancement of their white-label proposition, tailoring it specifically for building societies. This included creating quick, customisable integrations and one-time web solutions for those without customer apps designed to streamline implementation and accelerate time-to-market.
  • Pitch & Marketing Refinement: Woodhurst enhanced the fintech’s pitch and sales collateral by refining their messaging, updating their website, and supporting their social media strategy, supporting the development of a marketing and communications plan, which boosted the fintech’s market presence, increased awareness, and strengthened their brand within their target sector.

The Outcome

  • The fintech successfully pivoted from B2C model to a profitable B2B approach, unlocking new growth opportunities.
  • Woodhurst’s strategic support enabled Doshi to strengthen its market positioning and secure key partnerships through introduction to TSB’s Innovation Programme. This pivotal achievement established a strong foothold in the UK market and propelled Doshi’s growth, facilitating successful collaborations with building societies such as Furness and Market Harborough Building Societies.
