WELND: Meta ads that lead to a conversation with a finance broker
WELND’s Meta ads lead to a finance website that makes the first step easy: take a short debt test, call, or talk to a broker. The ads introduce the current WELND brand and its lending services to people who are not yet searching for a broker, and the website explains the offer before a broker discusses anyone’s circumstances.

The business
WELND is a Melbourne-based finance and mortgage brokerage serving customers across Australia. Its work covers debt solutions, including tax debt, trading debt and unsecured balances, alongside home loans, business finance and car and asset lending. Calculators and a short debt test sit beside the broker contact options on its website.
From the social ad to the lending conversation
Most people with a debt or lending problem are not searching for a broker when they see an ad. Paid social reaches them earlier, so the ad has to earn attention, explain a complicated subject in plain language and point to one easy next step. The engagement connects Meta advertising for the current WELND brand with its finance website, so the message the ad starts is the message the page continues.
What we built
Brand-led Meta ads introduce WELND and its lending services. The ads lead to the website, which offers three ways to start: take the short debt test, call, or talk to a broker. Someone ready to speak can call straight away; someone still exploring can start with the test.
The home page leads with the debt-recovery message and offers a test or a phone call as the first step.
The message after the click
The website carries the service message beyond the ad. These real creative examples show how the client’s offer is presented when a visitor reaches the page.
A visual cue for first-home buyers A key on paperwork gives the first-home-buyer page a clear subject. The warm colours fit the rest of WELND’s website.A simple animation for a complex topic Documents move into one box to illustrate consolidation. The animation supports the written explanation; it does not show a customer’s loan or financial result.
What the work delivered
Paid-social advertising connected to a clear finance website and a broker-enquiry route. The aim is a relevant conversation with the lending team. A finance enquiry begins a conversation, so clear language and a low-pressure first step help the customer act before a broker discusses their circumstances. Finance approvals and settled loans are separate outcomes and are not inferred from an advertising enquiry.
We define the outcomes to track, test the enquiry paths and use what we learn to guide campaign improvements. SoudCoh Compound explains how that work is organised.
We agree which calls, forms, bookings or sales count as a result, and a real test enquiry goes through every tracking path before the campaign goes live.
The number it moves: Waste blocked before the first click
Every change on an account like this one is written to that client's change history, and what it teaches, never the client's numbers, goes into the next account's starting point.
Start with your goals and current setup. We review the opportunity, agree the work and plan the next stage with you.
