On the heels of a successful IPO, we reunited with Tradeweb to create a campaign that would further connect with clients and continue to support core brand offerings. The mostly digital campaign ran across the U.S. and in select international markets and culminated in a dramatic television spot that celebrated Tradeweb’s role as an electronic trading innovator.

Entering a new phase as a publicly traded company, we wanted an ad campaign that really captured the value, energy, and attitude that makes Tradeweb special.
