Overview
Firstborn Group connects consumers with financial service providers in Northern Europe through its proprietary performance marketing platform. The company operates a buy-and-build strategy, acquiring finance-focused brands and integrating them into a single portfolio to scale lead generation. It uses a large database of over half a million customers and directly markets financial products via SMS and email, focusing on loans, refinancing, and insurance. Unlike general marketing firms, Firstborn centers its business on financial services lead generation and data-driven customer acquisition across multiple brands. The company aims to match consumers with suitable financial products while growing its portfolio and revenue through performance marketing, user retention, and strategic acquisitions.
