Hey!
We’re not doing an end-of-year campaign this year, so not #YearInMonzo this time around.
The main reason is simply that we didn’t feel like a spending-focussed campaign felt like the right thing to do at a time when people’s finances are more stretched than ever (it wouldn’t be a welcome reminder for many). And the #YearInMonzo campaign in particular relies on a very specific light-hearted approach that seemed a bit off.
Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean we’re not afraid to have fun. If you follow our channels you’ll see that we’re still posting memes and fun conversations to get involved with. But we’re also posting more educational content and guides to help people improve their financial wellbeing.
(We’ve got plans for campaign early next year on this, but that’s all I’m saying for now!)
Also, over the last year we’ve built out Trends with a whole suite of features that give you a lot of the same insights, on demand! It has totals for spending, and a breakdown of where you’re spending by categories and even merchants (currently in Labs!)
So if you really want to see how much you spent at McDonalds this year, you still can
(Also, shoutout to @Revels’ homebrew year in monzo from last year!)
