Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) results: Meta ads for financial brands by Velocity Digital

The challenge

Scam pages were running fake ads in DSE’s name, with copied logos and made-up stock prices, to pull people into fake investment groups.

Fakes were louder than the real DSE: scam ads were reaching more people than DSE’s official posts.

People didn’t know the official channels: it wasn’t clear which pages, numbers and handles really belonged to DSE.

Fake market data: invented prices and returns were spreading with nothing official to compare them to.

Our strategy

Alongside taking fake ads down, we used DSE’s own ads to make the real information easy to find.

Official channels ad: a “DSE Customer Care Centre” ad with the official phone number and verified Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn handles, so people know where to get real help.

Real market data: boosted DSE’s official market performance infographic in Kiswahili, so investors see the real numbers from the real source.

Profile visit ads: sent people to DSE’s verified pages to grow the official following.

Low-cost engagement: optimised for engagement so DSE’s official posts reach as many people as possible for a small budget.

The results

DSE’s official content was seen more than 213,000 times:

8,449 post engagements at $0.01 each.

1,816 visits to DSE’s official profile and page at $0.02 each.

213,528 impressions for a total spend of $113.72.

Works hand-in-hand with takedowns: while we remove fake ads, the real DSE becomes easier to find. See the DSE brand protection case study.
