The challenge

InvestEngine was transitioning from a founder-led start-up to a scale-up, competing with much larger, more established FinTechs in the personal investing space. The business needed a specialist marketing function to enable acquisition growth across products and boost retention.

What Scene built

Following an introduction from the C-Suite, Scene placed a number of FinTech marketing SMEs in a three-month period (all with relevant domain and stage-of-growth experience), growing the team from 5 to 12 people.

The outcome

These hires contributed to InvestEngine growing AUM from ~£500m to £2.5bn+ and establishing themselves as the market leader in the UK.

What our clients said

Scene's brand, reputation and track record as early stage specialists stood out from traditional FS recruitment firms, so we knew that you would source candidates outside the traditional finance sphere

Adam Lees
Head of Marketing

We felt the Scene "type" based on the people we met, aligned well with our values, and our type of person, which meant the culture fit of candidates aligned well without effort

Adam Lees
Head of Marketing

The team were easy to work with and we built a good rapport, it felt like a sustainable partnership rather than a transactional service
