The Brief

Inheritance tax is so complicated even Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) find it challenging.


So we had to find a way to convince IFAs that Octopus Investments was on their side, and had the means to fast-track their ‘inheritance tax expertise’ in the simplest, most pain-free way possible.

Our strategy highlights how Octopus Investments can fast-track an IFA’s expertise, by comparing the time and effort to acquire highly specialised knowledge and skills with other fields well-known for their own extreme levels of expertise.

As it turns out, our friendly pufferfish was a lot more popular than we first expected!
