Big & Rich, Property Brothers‘ Drew Scott Team With Ally Financial

Ally Financial has teamed with artists including Big & Rich and singer/songwriter and Property Brothers‘ star Drew Scott to promote the release of the company’s new app, Splurge Alert. The app is designed to help consumers better identify and manage their spending habits, by asking users to identify stores and areas where they tend to overspend and then select friends and/or family who can help them avoid overspending pitfalls. The app uses geolocation technology to determine when users approach a “splurge zone,” and then sends an alert message to a designated buddy in hopes that they will lure the user away from the problem area.

Scott and Big & Rich have signed on to test Splurge Alert and share how they spend their money through a series of unique videos and social media posts.
