Kapitall Celebrates Iconic Revolutionaries In New Brand Campaign

NEW YORK, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kapitall, the next generation investing destination, today announced a new ad campaign with history's most iconic revolutionaries as its spokespeople. Each celebrated character displays their preference for Kapitall above all other online investing platforms in an all-digital advertising campaign.

The campaign will run nationally through the summer with top media partners: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, and Gawker Network, among others, expected to generate over 50 million impressions monthly.

Kapitall seeks to connect with the self-directed, adventurous, tech-savvy, independent thinker highlighting how progressive and rewarding the investing experience with Kapitall can be. The company counts more than 115,000 virtual and live portfolios, tracking over $10.6 billion in virtual and live assets.

"Kapitall has a cutting-edge user experience, combining gaming principles with a solid brokerage product – think 'PlayStation meets Bloomberg'; this calls for an iconic campaign," said Kapitall CEO Jarrett Lilien. "Who better than a group of history's iconic revolutionaries to get the point across?"

"Our stated mission is to make the world of investing more accessible, fun, and rewarding," said Pascal Ehrsam, CMO of Kapitall. "We want Kapitallism for all. Through this campaign we want to entertain our audience with something different and unexpected, just like Kapitall."

"We needed to get the point across that yes, these are historical figures, but they are contemporized, living in the suburbs of today and with everyday questions on investing, just like you or me," said Pascal Ehrsam, CMO of Kapitall.

The brand campaign will show how each character engages with Kapitall's virtual stock portfolio, where Kapitallists can win up to $100k in cash prizes. Members will be able to follow the icons, compete against them using practice trades and inquire about their investing philosophies.
