CommonBond: Making Student Loans Approachable with Comedic Video Production
Melty Cone Video, a leading video production company in New York City, partnered with CommonBond, an innovative financial services company transforming the student loan market. Our objective was to produce a series of engaging comedic videos with actors, designed to make student loan refinancing feel more accessible and less daunting.
Understanding CommonBond's Financial Mission
CommonBond was founded in 2011 out of a frustration with the lack of affordable student loan options. As a prominent marketplace lender, CommonBond specializes in refinancing graduate and undergraduate student loans, as well as providing in-school loans. They are dedicated to helping university students and graduates manage their debt more effectively, emphasizing lower rates and a more user-friendly experience than traditional lenders.
The Comedic Video Marketing Challenge
The core challenge was to humanize a typically dry and stressful topic like student loans. The video production needed to leverage humor to connect with university students and recent graduates, highlighting CommonBond's benefits—such as lower rates and ease of refinancing—in a memorable and relatable way. The use of comedy with actors was crucial to differentiate CommonBond from traditional financial institutions, making the refinancing process appear approachable and even enjoyable.
