Unified Digital Onboarding Acquisition

Actinver serves clients across three distinct financial platforms — from premium advisory to self-directed trading to a digital-first investment app. But the website had close to ten different entry points, each leading to a different form. Some of them didn't even work. I designed a single behavior-driven onboarding flow to replace all of them, and led the full-funnel campaign that drove traffic into it.

Context

Company: Actinver — a national investment bank with three products for meaningfully different audiences: Premium Advisory (high-net-worth, human advisor), Actinver Trade (self-directed investors), and DINN (first-time digital investors).

My role: I worked on both sides of this — product and campaign.

On the product side, I designed the questionnaire UX hands-on: defined the flow, the question logic, the routing architecture, and iterated through multiple versions with the Data team.

On the campaign side, I led creative direction and production for the full-funnel acquisition campaign. I developed the creative rationale together with an external agency, but they didn't execute — I created the master pieces and my team produced every adaptation. Video, static ads, email, DOOH, social. I organized, delegated, and quality-controlled all materials across designers, content creators, and community managers.

Timeline: Launched April 2025 as v1. Iterated through v2 and v3+. Campaign ran throughout 2025.

Post-rebrand
From brand identity to digital acquisition
After the national rebrand, the website was next. The new identity needed to live digitally — not just visually, but structurally. Unifying the entry point became the primary objective for digital client acquisition.

The Problem

Actinver.com had close to ten different entry points. Different CTAs led to different forms — some product-specific, some generic, some broken. Users coming from a paid ad landed on a page determined by which ad they clicked, not by who they were.

The root cause: Actinver was organized around its products internally, and the website reflected that internal structure.

Fragmented Entry
~10 different entry points across the site
Different CTAs led to different forms — some product-specific, some generic
Some forms were broken or outdated
Users from paid ads landed on arbitrary product pages
Product-Organized
The website reflected Actinver's org chart
Three platforms (Premium, Trade, DINN) each had separate funnels
Users had to understand the product catalog to choose
No behavioral routing — just menu navigation
No Qualification
Prospects arrived without context
Downstream onboarding had no data about user intent
Some prospects bypassed the website entirely via brokers
No way to measure which entry path performed best

The Architecture

I designed a behavioral questionnaire — around 9 questions about the prospect's relationship with money: their financial goals, savings habits, and investment experience. No product jargon. No "choose your platform." The questions do the routing.

By the time a user reaches any of the three paths, they've already been qualified. That changes the entire conversion dynamic — every downstream onboarding flow starts with a user who already told you what they need.

Campaign: Full-Funnel Acquisition

The campaign concept — "Invierte en tu Grandeza" — came from a strategic rationale I developed together with an external agency. The shift: stop talking about financial education (what every bank does) and position Actinver as a mentor in your personal growth. The word "invertir" carries a double meaning — invest your money, and invest in yourself.

The agency delivered the rationale, not the execution. I created the master pieces for every format and my team produced all adaptations.

Video content
Social · Display · Brand
Master pieces created in-house, all adaptations produced by the team across formats and placements.
Static ads
Multiple formats · A/B tested
Poster, vertical, horizontal — each format tested with different headlines and visual representation.
DOOH
Later dropped based on performance
Launched initially, then budget reallocated to digital channels where attribution was clearer.
Email / CRM campaigns
Segmented · Sequenced
Supporting the full-funnel approach with targeted messaging per audience segment.
Geo-segmented effort
Los Cabos · High-value zone
Adapted creative for niche market with foreign retiree population and high purchasing power.

Every piece had one CTA: go to the website. And every CTA led to the same place — the behavioral questionnaire. What we promised in the ad had to match what users experienced when they got there.

The campaign also included geo-segmented efforts. Starting in Q2, we created specific materials for high-value zones like Los Cabos — a niche market with a large foreign retiree population and high purchasing power, which made it a direct fit for Actinver's target profile.

Experimentation Program

The questionnaire wasn't a one-time launch. It was designed as a continuous optimization system from day one.

The structure: define hypothesis, design variant, run, read data, decide, feed back into system. Growth, Media, and CRM provided the data.

Experiment variables
01
Creative representation
Women-led visuals consistently outperformed mixed or male-led in the target segment
02
Headline framing
Proof-based claims outperformed aspiration-only headlines
03
Opening line
Aspiration before friction — leading with transformation outperformed leading with minimums
04
Format experiments
GIF variants tested against static — findings fed into subsequent production cycles
05
Channel mix
DOOH dropped after analysis; budget reallocated to digital where attribution was clearer
06
Path-specific messaging
Each of the 3 routes tested with distinct value propositions vs shared messaging

Outcome

UOA-OUT-hero--full

This project turned a fragmented set of landing pages into one entry experience. People arrived at the right product faster, with less confusion, and with their goals already on the table — which gave every downstream onboarding flow a better starting point.

The experiment program kept building on itself. Each version informed the next. Each creative insight shaped the next round of production. The system got sharper over time because it was designed to learn.

Specific conversion numbers are confidential per Actinver's data policy, but directional results across every variable confirmed the behavioral segmentation approach. This was a cross-team effort — Data, Media Performance, Growth, and Brand working as one system.

Reflection

Two things I'd carry forward from this project.

First — the power of a single entry point. When every CTA on a website leads to the same behavior-driven experience, you stop competing with yourself. The user doesn't need to figure out your product structure. They just answer a few questions and end up in the right place.

Second — the feedback loop between campaign and product. The creative system and the onboarding system weren't separate workstreams. They were one ecosystem. What we learned in the ads informed the questionnaire. What we learned in the questionnaire informed the next round of ads. That loop is what made the system improve over time.
