The challenge
Commercial finance usually sells the same two things: competitive rates and fast turnaround. The result? Most brands in the category look and sound exactly the same. Colossal was already different. Rupert and Hunter had built genuine relationships with the business owners they backed, supported by serious technical expertise. They worked as partners, not providers, but their brand wasn’t showing it. The market saw another finance broker. We saw a business built to help ambitious people go further.

The solution
Our job was to make Colossal’s real strengths impossible to miss: sharp financial capability and genuinely personal relationships. Instead of positioning Colossal against other brokers, we positioned the brand alongside its clients’ ambitions. Not just finance, but access to opportunities, momentum and a bigger vision for their businesses and lives. This became Access More, a creative approach built around a simple idea: finance is the mechanism, but access is what people are really buying. It gives business owners the freedom to move when opportunity appears. From there, we developed an evolving brand and content strategy spanning social, advertising, video, photography and long-form storytelling. Rupert and Hunter became the recognisable voices of the brand, joined by clients, guests and real stories from the businesses Colossal has helped grow. We also created Australian Business Heroes, a unique content series showcasing the brands and people Colossal works with, and the impact they’re making in their industries because they had access to the right financial backing at the right time. Rather than simply telling people that Colossal builds strong relationships, the campaign lets those relationships, and their results speak for themselves.

The results
Our ongoing partnership shows what can happen when a traditional finance business stops communicating like one. A consistent mix of strategic content, advertising, video and photography has grown Colossal’s visibility, attracted new clients and strengthened existing relationships. More importantly, it has helped position Colossal as more than a finance provider: it’s a trusted partner in the success of the businesses it backs. The Australian Business Heroes series changed the conversations Colossal was having. Prospects began arriving with stories already in mind, referencing other videos and asking whether Colossal was the right fit for their ambitions. The conversation was no longer just about rates. It was about relationships, opportunity and what could happen next. As the business continues to grow, we’ll keep evolving the brand around it, making sure Colossal’s presence, ideas and influence stay one step ahead.
